With reference to thisticket

I finally get around to doing making a site specific plugin as recommended.
I followed https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/

and popped in Josh’s code in the ticket linked above

add_filter( 'FHEE__EEG_Paypal_Standard__set_redirection_info__arguments', 'jf_ee_set_transaction_id_as_paypal_item_id' );
function jf_ee_set_transaction_id_as_paypal_item_id( $redirect_args ) {
    $checkout = EE_Registry::instance()->SSN->checkout();
    if ( $checkout instanceof EE_Checkout ) {
        $transaction = $checkout->transaction;
        if ( $transaction instanceof EE_Transaction ) {      
            $redirect_args[ 'item_number' ] = $transaction->ID();
        }
    }
    return $redirect_args; 
}

Using the above, what should my client see when viewing the order summary on PayPal before choosing a way to pay? Will the transaction ID show up there? Will it show up on Paypal in sandbox mode?

To force what I wanted to see on my Paypal transactions, I fiddled with a core file.

I know I’m not supposed to mess around with the core files but just to show you the effect that I want I modified EEG_Paypal_Standard.gateway.php, line 131-132

I changed

sprintf( _x('%1$s for %2$s', 'Ticket for Event', 'event_espresso' ), $line_item->name(), $line_item->ticket_event_name()),

to

sprintf( _x('TIN %1$s: %2$s for %3$s', 'Ticket for Event', 'event_espresso' ), $transaction->ID(), $line_item->name(), $line_item->ticket_event_name()),

Will the code given by Josh last November 4, 2015 at 6:52 pm have this or a similar effect? Where was the transaction number show up?

I understand that my modification will get wiped out each time EE4 updates but is the modification I made valid? Safe? How do I bring this out as a site specific plugin?
