The text in the QR code is completely independent of the | content, just edit the text field under the QR code. | difosfor wrote: | Looks cool, but the generated QR codes link to qr.new instead of | the domain I entered to link to. This is on iPad Safari. Is it | required to register before this will work as expected? It's | unclear to me. | koch wrote: | There are two 'types' of codes you can make, one is a regular | redirect to the link you enter (Link QR), the other takes you | to a qr.new page that has the information you entered on it | (Everything QR). So make sure you have the right type selected | and that you've put your link in the link field. | | Action item for me though, I need to make that clearer on the | site. | koch wrote: | I went ahead and changed Link QR to say "Redirect" and | replaced "Link to a website" under Everything Qr with "Text," | hopefully that clears some confusion. | lights0123 wrote: | There's definitely a problem though: when I edit the URL as a | Link QR (e.g. changing .com to .co), the little checkmark | changes to a spinner then back to a checkmark, but the QR | code does not change at all. No error messages in the console | other than two script-src CSP errors. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2020-12-19 23:00 UTC)
