The MTS Code Generator add-on helps you automatically generate accurate codes for invoices, profiles, customers, quotes, and more automatically for any records according to the rules you set. Avoid manually entering codes and accidentally making crucial typos or confusing duplicates.
Release Notes
Version 2.0.0 — 2026-05-18
Overview
Version 2.0.0 introduces a Format Template Engine that replaces the fixed Prefix + Number approach with a flexible, placeholder-based system supporting date-aware codes and automatic per-period counter resets. Existing configurations are fully backward compatible.
New Features
Format Template Engine
A new Format Template field accepts a template string with the following placeholders:
| Placeholder | Description | Example output |
|---|---|---|
{YYYY} |
4-digit year | 2026 |
{YY} |
2-digit year | 26 |
{MM} |
2-digit month | 05 |
{DD} |
2-digit day | 18 |
{SEQ:N} |
Sequential number, zero-padded to N digits | 00001 |
{FIELD:name} |
Value from a field on the target record | HN |
Example templates:
| Template | Sample output |
|---|---|
INV-{YYYY}-{SEQ:5} |
INV-2026-00001 |
PO-{YYYY}{MM}-{SEQ:4} |
PO-202605-0001 |
TKT-{YYYY}{MM}{DD}-{SEQ:3} |
TKT-20260518-001 |
{FIELD:branch_code}-{YYYY}-{SEQ:5} |
HN-2026-00001 |
Counter Reset Period
A new Reset Counter field controls when the sequential counter resets to 1:
| Option | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Never | Global counter — never resets (equivalent to previous behaviour) |
| Yearly | Resets on the first record created in a new calendar year |
| Monthly | Resets on the first record created in a new calendar month |
| Daily | Resets on the first record created each day |
Improvements
Backward Compatibility
- Configurations using the legacy
Prefix+Initial Numberfields continue to work without any changes. No migration is required.
UI Enhancements
- New Format Template input in the Create/Edit form with a live JavaScript preview that shows an example output as you type.
- New Reset Counter dropdown in the Create/Edit form.
- List view now shows Format Template and Reset Counter columns.
Force Re-generate
- When using template mode, Force Re-generate All now resets the internal sequence counter before regenerating, ensuring codes start from 1 and are assigned in order.
Build System
build.phprewritten to use a functional pipeline (each builder accepts and returns$installdefs) following the same pattern as other MTS add-ons.- Manifest output now uses PHP short array syntax
[...]for readability. - ZIP creation uses a recursive iterator instead of
addGlob.
Database Changes
The following columns are added to mts_codegenerator during installation:
| Column | Type | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
code_format_template |
varchar(255) | — | Template string |
reset_period |
varchar(100) | never |
Reset frequency |
last_seq_number |
int | 0 |
Current counter value |
last_reset_date |
date | — | Date of last counter reset |
Upgrade Notes
- Install the package via Admin → Module Loader as usual.
- Existing configuration records continue working in legacy mode — no action needed.
- To switch a configuration to template mode, edit the record, fill in the Format Template field, and set a Reset Counter period. Leave Prefix and Initial Number blank when using template mode.
- Use Force Re-generate All after switching mode if you want to backfill existing records with codes in the new format.
[Version 1.0.0]
- Support auto-generate code for any modules that have configured
- Support re-generate code for old records

One small mistake can end your run, so every second feels exciting. With its winter theme, smooth gameplay, and endless challenges, Slope Rider 3D is perfect for quick fun. It’s simple to learn, but getting a high score takes skill and practice.
