QR Code

Hey Jerry,

The google api that the chart generator uses always names the images as "chart.png". Without resorting to something fancy like using jquery to rename the images after the fact I think you're stuck with chart.png.

Hi Robin,

What do you think it would take to solve this issue using Jquery?

I think this naming thing could be a real stumbling block as QR codes become more widely used.

Thanks,

Jerry

Hey Jerry,

This method might help:
http://api.jquery.com/attr/

I wonder - why does your client care about the file name? Are they generating them just to save the image to use elsewhere?

Thanks,
Robin

Hi Robin,

Appreciate your looking into this.

We're generating a list of QR codes for a potentially long series of records, and then copying individual codes from that list into documents for various print media campaigns.

A few codes are easy to keep track of and even manually rename, but if one gets out of place in a longer list, it's near impossible to sort them out.

I hate to admit it, but I’ve stared at the http://api.jquery.com/attr/ docs for quite a while, and I still haven’t a clue how to implement it in the following, to change the file names of the generated QR codes from chart.png to <?php echo$record['title'] ?>.png:

Thanks for any help you can offer,

Jerry

<?php echo strtoupper($record['title']) ?>

<td align="center" valign="top">
<!--Show QR code with title and record number-->
<?php
echo qrCode(array(
'type' => 'url',
'size' => '547', // thumbnail height & width in pixels
'url' => 'http://www.mysite.com/my_detail.php?' . $num
));
?>
<br />
<br />
URL to the target for this record: http://www.mysite.com/my_detail.php?<?php echo $num ?>
<hr />
</td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach ?>
