Generated QR Code

Java Script

The JS code sample to generate the geo location format from content input fields is shown below.

      if(page == 'geo'){



     var requestString= "geo:";



     if("S" == this.$("input[name='geo-ns-radio']:checked").val())

         requestString = requestString + "-" + this.$('.input-geo-ns').val() + ",";

      else

      requestString = requestString + this.$('.input-geo-ns').val() + ",";



     if("W" == this.$("input[name='geo-ew-radio']:checked").val())

         requestString = requestString + "-" + this.$('.input-geo-ew').val();

      else

      requestString = requestString + this.$('.input-geo-ew').val();



     requestString = encodeURIComponent(requestString);

     requestString = this.addRequestSettings(requestString)



     var that = this;



     this.$('.qrcode-preview-image').load(function(){

     that.$('.qrcode-preview-processing').addClass('hide');

     that.$('.qrcode-preview-image').removeClass('hide');

     })

     .error(function(){

     that.$('.qrcode-preview-processing').attr('src', '/qrcodegen/resources/imgs/error.png');

     })

     .attr('src', '/qrcodegen/api/qrcode/generate?data='+ requestString);



     this.updateDownloadTag(requestString);



     }
