Product - Variant codes

Hi,

Having just renewed my subscription I've updated to the latest version of Hikashop on a local test server and have discovered that the mod to achieve the change of product code (from xxxx_1 etc to xxxx01, xxxx02 - Post #34414 refers) is no longer a workable solution.

I've tried to find where the product code is generated in product.php and think it's somewhere around lines 770, but am unable to identify exactly what needs changing. Also I've been unable to identify any other code that may be affected and require modification.

$query = 'UPDATE ' . hikashop_table('product') . ' AS p ' .
							' SET p.product_code = CONCAT(p.product_code,\'_'.(int)$characteristics[(int)$a]->default_id.'\') '.
							' WHERE p.product_parent_id = ' . (int)$product_id . ' AND p.product_type = ' . $this->database->Quote('variant') .
							' AND p.product_code LIKE '.$product_code;
