I'm sure this question has been asked, but I can't seem to find it, nor can I find any details on Google about how I can alter the configuration of how the QR Code works.
So my question is... can I use the code below (without an email address) and still produce a QR Code so that all the other details produce a QR Code? As it works now, there must be an email address to produce a QR code, but I'd like to create an option for just address and contact details - even if no email address is present.
<?php echo qrCode(array( 'type' => 'contact', 'size' => '160', 'firstName' => $diningRecord['firstname'], 'lastName' => $diningRecord['lastname'], 'address' => $diningRecord['address'], 'phone' => $diningRecord['phone'] )); ?>
If it is possible, can someone share some code, or light on how to make this work?
Thanks Zick

Hi Zick,
I've had a look at the plugin, and I think the easiest solution is to modify the plugin so that it's possible to leave the e-mail field blank. You'll need to modify the code of the QRCodeGenerator.php plugin file on line 120 so that it looks like this:
/*if (array_key_exists('email', $options)) {
if (!isValidEmail($options['email'])) { $errors .= "Invalid value for option 'email'!\n"; }
}*/
This stops the plugin validating the e-mail address, allowing you to leave the e-mail field blank if required:
<?php echo qrCode(array(
'type' => 'contact',
'size' => '160',
'firstName' => $diningRecord['firstname'],
'lastName' => $diningRecord['lastname'],
'address' => $diningRecord['address'],
'phone' => $diningRecord['phone'],
'email' => '',
)); ?>
This does mean that if you do add anything to the e-mail address field, you'll have to make sure its validated before adding it to the qrCode function.
Thanks!

Hi,
Our QR code generator is a plugin for CMS Builder (you can read more about it here: http://www.interactivetools.com/tour/ ). CMS Builder and its plugins are written in PHP, unfortunately we don't have any tools written in .NET. I found this post that on stackoverflow that has some suggestions for QR code generation is ASP.NET:
