How To Display QR Code In PDF Templates

[eymen-elkum]

UPDATE:
please check this link https://www.espocrm.com/documentatio...-barcode-field before read this post, its new added feature, thanks for espocrm team.

I faced this request today and found a very easy trick to achieve it, it is simple but may someone find it useful,

There are several services that easily return QR image by url like this,

In the following example I am displaying both of the entity's id and name separated by comma

<img src="https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?size=150x150&data={{id}},{{name}}" height="150px">

NOTE: you must switch the editor to the code view mode and then paste the above script

That's perfect - QR code and barcode implementations have been on my list for a while. This ticks at least one of them off.

Have you figured out how you can get this to work in a Template for PDF printing?

it is already printable, as any other image, just paste the html script in the body of the pdf template, but make sure you switched to the code view mode

Hi Ayman,

Is it possible to put the following QR code into Email Template?

barcodeImage=string\concatenate("https://YOUR_WEBSITE8URL/#YourEntity/view/", id);

This formula generates a barcode for the address of a record and the barcode can be displayed directly in the record's detailview.

It can also be displayed in PDF Template with 　{{barcodeImage qrCode type='QRcode'}}

Now I want to display the same barcode in emails (Email template) but do not know how to make it. Is this possible?

Thanks.

That is about PDF template. What I want o do is to make the barcode image into Email Template. Is there a way to do that?

[eymen-elkum]

I have not tried with email templates, not sure if the barcode field can work, but have you tried the same trick with Email Templates ?

[chrisjiang]

I tried but it does not work.
