QR Code Extension on Marketplace?

I'm trying to integrate QR code create/read in our application and came across references in community forum to 'QR Code Extension' on PTC market place.

However, I am not able to find it there...

Is this extension not supported anymore? Perhaps available through other channels?

Thanks in advance!

For future reference:

I'm now using the public REST API calls of http://goqr.me/api/ to generate a QR image.

Using 'ContentLoaderFunctions - LoadImage' in a service (see below) returns a usable image (PNG).

Linking it to the 'Data' entry of a 'Value Display' inside a mashup allows for easy visibility.

 

Example (Input = string, result = Image):

var result = Resources.ContentLoaderFunctions.LoadImage({
});

Thanks for the quick reply!

Are there any other ways to generate/read QR codes using TWX?

Hi @JanKerkhofs.

 

You would have to write your own extension for handling this functionality.  In the meantime, you can also post a request on the ThingWorx Ideas board.  This will allow other community members to vote for it in order to increase it's chances of being adopted into a future release of the product.

 

Regards.
