Extension:QrCode

Description
Generates qrcodes and adds them to your wiki pages.

Usage
This parser function has several options. The simplest use of the function is as follows: Not specifying any options generates a qrcode with the URL of the wiki page the function is used or transcluded in.

You can also specify options such as the error correction (ecc), size of the squares (size) and the margin to the code (boundary):

Where ecc can be either of L,M,Q or H You can force the url of your qrcodes to use another scheme than the one the author uses with the scheme parameter.


 * Note:* as the qrcodes are generated in the background, it can take a while for them to appear on your pages.

Requirements

 * libqrencode
 * PHP5
 * PHP GD2 extension with JPEG and PNG support
 * phpqrcode (included)
 * mkdir command is used, so does not work on Windows without some work

Todo

 * Review qrCode generation request (what happens when you hit the page and the file has not yet been generated?)
 * Update (i.e. replace) the image file when the QrCode arguments (ecc,size,boundary or scheme) change.
 * Ask whether qrcodes linked to a page should also be removed on the removal of the page.
 * Add an option to purge all qrcodes from the wiki.
 * Purge qrcodes from the filestore when they're not linked on any page anymore
