[Resolved] Number will increment when editing post “Auto Numbering Posts”

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
I would like to automatically increment a custom field value when I create a new post in my custom post type. The field value should be the highest field value from the other posts, plus one.

Solution:
You can use standard wordpress hook "save_post" to build such solution and add that hook to your current theme's functions.php file.

You can find proposed solution, in this case, with the following reply:

after log in on v-web.zz6.nl go in the menu to admin > zoeken. On this page (view) you see in the results part ordernummer. This is one place where it is shown. When you click an ordernummer you c ome to a content template where the order number is also shown.

Log in, then in the menu admin > zoeken. You come to a view. In the results part you see the ordernummer. (view: Zoek op einddatum abonnement). When you click the ordernummer you come to a content template (Template for telorder). There it is also used.

Minesh,

It is supposed to increment the ordernummer when you make a new order. And now it does not, there is no ordernummer.

The problem: I had it working that it would give an order number to a new order. Every new order would get an ordernummer one higher then the last one. That was what I wanted. What I did not want was that when I edited an order it would also raise the ordernummer.

Now I do not get an ordernummer with new orders anymore. The system is not at all working anymore. Go to the view (see screenshot) and see that there is no new order numbers.

Hi there

Minesh is sick, but will hopefully be back in tomorrow. As he is already looking at this issue I'll leave it for him to reply further.

Well - the shared FTP access details again not working at this end.

Could you please send me working FTP access details.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Can I put the ftp login somewhere? This doesn't look like a private post.

No more help from you needed Minesh, I will turn to another supporter.
