    Is there a way to assign a unique number or alphanumeric number ether a customer number on a signup form or an order number?

    I'm interested in this too.
    I've wrote my idea (Autoincrement field) for future v.4.7 here : http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/47-features-list?replies=5
    IMHO, currently, having a customized unique field can't be done (btw as unique we can use the id# but can't be customized)
    I hope someone of Appnitro team (Yuniar?) can give a us a suggestion how to do this.

    Hello,
    Here is what I've done to do this but I'm sure this will be added in the next version

    In post-functions.php, I've added :

    // Random String
    function generateRandomString6($length = 6) {
    return substr(str_shuffle("0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"), 0, $length);
    }

    // Random ID - NetID
    $NetID = generateRandomString6();
    $_SESSION['NetID'] = $NetID;

    // Insert field in the DataBase (where element_16 is the Random Field)
    if($form_id == 1234){ $table_data['element_16'] = $NetID; }
