QR Codes

Trying to get a qr code to print on a 4x6 label and I am using Exact Forms Plus and I have the following formula in my purchase order table under QR Code:  "<img src=\"https://quickchart.io/qr?&size...

    Hello @AHaning I would suggest you create a formula richtext field and have the formula inside there. Then in the Exact Form Plus where you're embedding this just use the field id on the xxx field below([xxx])
    ~=barcode(f[XXX], qrcode, 200x200)~

    I have done this before and  I was able to manipulate the height and width. Initially what you were trying to do it was being rendered as a string. Let me know how it goes.

Your code looks correct and here is my code for comparison. You're on the right track using the format suggested by Juiced because they have a built-in QR code generator that will never end up behind a paywall. 

Here is my similar code  

~=barcode(f[115],qrcode,120x120)~

Be sure that you list the field that has the URL for the QR code in your Clist  on the document template set up.  

and obviously double check the URL that you are providing to make sure it's a valid URL that goes where you want it to

Not familiar with Juiced plugins but if that is a separate way to generate a QR looks like he should change the 120x120 part or 150x150 as he has it to something larger. I'm guessing that's image dimensions.

Edit: AHaning​ Sorry, I reread the post and understood your issue with this Juiced approach now, did you update the f[xxx] part to be your field ID that you want a QR code of? Maybe the way they generate a QR code is expecting a specific data type, so you need to match it.
