How to assign unique Numeric ID's

[encrypto]

In my listing website, vendors, customers and affiliates have profiles. Vendor listing shows product offerrings, customers shows user profile, and affiliates also shows user profile and all 3 have have respective categories.

I want to create a system where each listing, customer profile, and affiliate profile will have a unique numeric ID — for example:

• Listing A = ID 000001
• Listing B = ID 000002
• Customer or Affiliate = ID 000003, and so on.

These IDs will help keep everything organized and easy to track in the listing theme — including vendor services, customer accounts, and affiliate accounts.

How can I set this up?

Hi,

Please note that listings and vendors have a unique ID. If you are familiar with the code, we can provide general guidance.

Thanks for the reply.

So if there is a unique ID already given to listings and vendors…

1. Is it only numeric? or can be made Alpha-Numeric too?
2. Can the ID series be changed? e.g. I need a different series for the listing like e.g. “L00001” and “V00001” for vendors.
3. I can get the code done, if you guide.

Thanks

Yes, both vendors and listings are stored in wp_posts table and each entry has a numeric ID. Depending on how you output this ID, you can add a letter before the number if needed.
