HI all, Im using colour qr code generator because it’s free. i don’t mind paying for a better qr generator if it solves my problem.
After generating the qr code, in the users admin page. I can’t understand why it disappears when the page is refreshed. this happens even if you leave the page and then re-visit it.
I am hoping to have a user generate a qr code in their admin page . but have it displayed on a promotions page. when it’s scanned it shows the promotion in the way of text.
but because it isn’t saving the QR image or if it is I don’t know where? I have nothing to reference it from?? any help or some help please, thank you.
I hope I will be able to help you later this week. I am trying to see if I can help in-between sessions for you. I use the QR code plugin a lot and it works really well.
You just need to save it to your database. If you are displaying it, that means you can save it too. Just add a workflow to save the data from the previous step into your database somewhere in the next step. You should be able to see a “Result from step…” in the step following the creation of the QR code. That way you can save the image.
I hope to have more time so I can do an example for you. Maybe in a few days when I get a bit more time. Don’t give up! You are almost there!
Thank you for your time j805, I must be doing something wrong here, I have attached the current workflows I am running at the moment. Maybe you can correct me or spot the issue, I am still experiencing the same problem.
I generate the code but upon refresh it will no longer be visible causing me to have to re-generate the same qr code. even if it is saving this will cause confusion among members. I need it to stay there until the qr is updated by generating a new code with a new promotion attached to it. this will simply replace the old code.
If my memory is correct, I think there is another workflow that says something like, when a QR code image is saved. Not a step, but a workflow. Can you try clicking on add another workflow and see if there is an option that says something like, ‘When a QR code image was created’ or something like that?
I don’t think you can save it from within the same workflow because it takes a few seconds for it to generate. Your saving to the current user is probably blank right? I can try to take a screenshot for you in a few hours, but I think there is a separate workflow that you need to do the saving to your database in.
@b.goldsworthy01 Here it is, so click ‘Click here to add an event’ to add another workflow called ‘ColourQRCode A is saved’ then save the QR code in this workflow.
yeah so I have herd, im new to using qr codes. I realise there are two types of qr codes, dynamic and static. From my research I would like to use dynamic codes.
Are these codes dynamic? and if so how do I track and store the data from each qr scanned? such as the location of the ‘scan’ , the number of ‘scans’ , what time the ‘scans’ took place, as well as the operating system of the device used.
Is this possible using bubble.io. This information would be emailed to each member as a breakdown for the previous months usage. I feel it is crucial to provide the user with this detailed information as each business is charged per each scan that takes place. Also
Is it possible to have a live qr counter inside there admin? which updates each time the page is refreshed? curious.
Thank you for your insights @J805 And I apologize if i’m taking up to much of your time.
You can definitely do dynamic data with QR Codes. It will be difficult to explain all of this in a post but I will do my best. I might have some time this week in between sessions to help explain some of this for you.
But yes, all of that should be possible in Bubble.
Talk soon.
By the way, if you need faster help, don’t hesitate to book a session and we can get you going a lot faster. Otherwise, just need some patience as I help when I get some time.
I may use your paid services on another job I have later down the track, its just I dont have a budget for this particular task, I am putting this web app together for free to help a family friend with their idea well I have some down time. Thank you for your understanding.
Step 2 - Make sure that the user has a business attached to them when they sign up. I just created a random name and attached it to the business for testing purposes.
done but I can’t understand why its all done before sign up. I need all the info attached to the qr code after sign up. which is created inside the users account which is the business. the business/user already has a slug attached to them. So would I attach all above info to the qr generated inside the admin page? and add all the data to the user inside my database? I imagine step 8 is what i’m after. already a user/business can log in and create the qr code wich is displayed on a promotions page by way of that user/business slug. or do I still need to follow all the above steps to achieve this. and thank you so much for your detailed information.
The qr scan code isn’t to take a user to the business web page. Its used for promotions so the qr code may be change at will by the user/business and that could be daily, weekly etc. hence needing to have the detailed information stored for that user/business, so they can keep track of how it’s being used.
Another important bit of information I need to show is how many times the code has been scanned? that is actually the most important thing to track. The user/business is paying per scan that takes place.
if you would like to look at the web app for reference please just ask. I have learned a lot off you so far to do with QR codes. I appreciate your time and help.
Don’t give up! You are almost there!
