How to get an Order Number

[guischarf]

Hello,

 

I am developing a payment module to pay with credit card in a small local bank. The bank requires that I post two fields:

 

totalAmmount which contains the total the customer will have to pay.

orderNumber which should contain any string no longer than 12 chars

 

I want to use the value in orders.orders_id, but don't know how to get it from within the module script.

 

I checked global $orders, but this value is not available there.

 

Any ideas ? Thanks.

Thanks Alex,

 

I output the hidden fields of the form using:

 

function process_button() {

global $order;

 

$process_button_string = '';

$params['invoiceNumber'] = rand(1000,10000); //just for testing

$params['totalAmount'] = $order->info['total'];

foreach ($params as $key => $value) {

$process_button_string .= tep_draw_hidden_field($key, $value);

}

//die($process_button_string);

return $process_button_string;

}

 

As I undersntand, at this point the order has not been processed and therefore there is no order_id. The order_id is available after clicking the buttom and is available in

 

function after_process() {

}

 

So I wonder if this would work

 

function after_process() {

global $insert_id;

tep_draw_hidden_field('invoiceNumber', $insert_id);

}

 

Or by this time the form fields have already been sent.

 

Thanks
