Hello Forum,

Joomla 3.6.5
VM 3.0.18
apache
PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.21

i would like to start the order number and Invoice number with 280 instead of 1. So i added #:280 into the field Format for Order number and Format for invoice nummer.
but unfortunally the firts order/ invoice number ist 1 instad of 280.

What do i have to do to reach this?
Regards
Thomas

Dear Bonnsport,
If you want to add the default for a new counter in the number format, you need to use square brackets, i.e. [#:280]. Note, however, that this will only work ifyou haven't have made any test orders (because test orders will already create the counter and initialize it with 1, so the default of 280 will never be used).

If you have already made some test orders, you can simply change the counter named # (in the plugin configuration page there is a table of all counters, where you can also change their values) to 279. The plugin will use that value and increment it by 1 for the next order.
See the documentation for some more details: open-tools.net/documentation/ordernumber...nging_counter_values

Best regards,
Reinhold

OK, it`s solved.
i used new counter, testetd a little bit and now it works. Unfortunally the documentation doesn`t help very well. May be because of my bad english.
