Configure order numbers¶

Since wt_cart 1.4 it is possible to use order numbers. The order number is generated automatically.

There's an architectural problem in powermail 1.x. The order number is generated as soon as the powermail order form is submitted for the first time. That way your order numbers can be discontinuously. This happens if the user cancels the order but has already submitted the form (but not yet confirmed). We have to use a powermail hook. Right now there is no better hook which allows us to create order numbers reliably. This should be no problem since there is no law requesting continuous order numbers.

You can display the order number as part of the email subject and within the email body.

Email body¶

You can use the marker ###ORDERNUMBER### within the subpart ###WTCART_POWERMAIL###. Edit your wt_cart HTML template and change and extend it as needed.

Email subject¶

Please open your powermail plugin and check the tabs for “Sender” and “Recipients”. For powermail 1.x you can add the marker ###ORDERNUMBER### to the fields “Subject for sender's mail” and “Subject for recipient's mail”. See screenshot for an example. For powermail 2.x add {f:cObject(typoscriptObjectPath:'lib.wt_cart_ordernumber')}.

Set subject with order number for sender's email confirmation (powermail 1.x)

TypoScript Configuration There are 3 settings. Please see the following example. In this case the first order number would be DE1000K.

plugin.wtcart {
  # prefix for order number
