QR code generation from markmin

[Peter Woolf]

Hello,

I see that web2py has documentation for generating QR codes from links using markmin, but it isn't working in my hands.  Am I doing it incorrectly or is there a bug?

Here is a minimal example of code in a view:

---------------

{{from gluon.contrib.markmin.markmin2html import markmin2html}}

{{=XML(markmin2html("Hello **world** [[link qr:http://web2py.com]]"))}}

{{=markmin2html("Hello **world** [[link qr:http://web2py.com]]")}}

------------

This just creates a normal link:

-----------

Hello world link

<p>Hello <strong>world</strong> <a href="qr:http://web2py.com">link</a></p>

----------

Thoughts?  Seems a useful feature if it really exists in there! :)

Thanks,

--Peter

Hey Peter!

I don't see any code in the markmin python script that could generate qr codes. 

I think the ones that are there are static. 

You can use a qr code generator lib with python and combine with markmin qr Syntax though. 

I think.

Thanks!  I was hoping that Web2py had this function already based on the documentation for MARKMIN Links:

http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/05/the-views#MARKMIN

----------

Adding a link with the qr: prefix such as

qr:http://web2py.com

results in the corresponding QR code being embedded and linking the said URL.

----------

I can write custom code to do it, but didn't want to reinvent the wheel if Web2py already had it! 

Thanks!
