Hi there!
Is there a way to add a consecutive (and editable?) number for printed invoices?

How would I hook into...
Another beginner's question: What would be the "clean" way to get an additional tab item into the invoice-menu from an external module "uc_invoicenumber.module"? I have tried the following:
/**
* Implementation of hook_menu().
*/
function uc_invoicenumber_menu($may_cache) {
global $user, $items;
if (!$may_cache) {
if (arg(0) == 'admin' && arg(1) == 'store' && arg(2) == 'orders' && is_numeric(arg(3))) {
$items[] = array(
'path' => 'admin/store/orders/'. arg(3) .'/invoice/invoicenumber',
'title' => t('Invoice Number'),
'callback arguments' => array(arg(3), 'invoicenumber'),
'access' => user_access('view all orders'),
'weight' => -1,
'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,
);
}
}
}
... but the menu-item will only show up if I enter the code directly into the function uc_order_menu($may_cache), which is not the appreciated way, as I have learned 
Re: How would I hook into...
Regarding the menu item, the hook requires a return value. So take out $items from your global declarations and add return $items; to the bottom of the function.
Hi!
I'm at the moment struggling with the same requirement to generate consecutive and editable numbers for printed invoices.
Before I start the development I would like to ask if there is perhaps already a module or patch out there.
Thank's very much in advance
