Custom order number or ID?
Hi... I am completely new to Drupal Commerce and, on top of that, a web designer with very little development knowledge.
My client wishes to have their invoice numbers display the date before the number...
ex: 20140709-1
However, I can not figure out how to do this.
I've been Googling for hours. I have been finding a lot of people asking this question, but most of the requests for help either have no responses or a bunch of responses from people looking for the same thing.
I figured this was something which could be done through a checkout rule, but I have not been able to figure out how to get it to work.
I have tried installing the Commerce Order Counter module, but can't seem to get it to work. I have also tried various hooks I have found, but I am either doing the whole hook thing incorrectly or they simply are not doing what I need them to.
Does anyone have any experience on doing this and, if yes, can you point me in a direction which will work? It would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

hook_commerce_order_presave()
just add something like this in a custom module.
/*** Implements hook_commerce_order_presave().
*/
function MYMODULE_commerce_order_presave($order) {
if (isset($order->order_id)) {
$order->order_number = date('ydm') . "-". $order->order_id;
}
}
