Hi,

I am getting feedback from some of my customers that they are not seeing a barcode when they view their tickets online.

Please could someone help me resolve this issue.

Thanks,

Nick

Hi Nick,

The issue is likely a browser issue. One way to resolve this is display two barcodes and each barcode should be a different output_type. This is from the documentation:

output_type:Used to set the output type for the generated barcode (default is svg). Can be either svg, canvas, bmp, or css. Note: Some output types don’t print well depending on the browser. Make sure you verify printability. [BARC0DE_* output_type=bmp].

You can add additional barcodes of different output types by going to edit Messages > Ticket, then add more barcode shortcodes to the Main Content section like this:

[BARCODE_*]
[BARCODE_* output_type=css] 

This way if a browser doesn’t display the default svg type, then it will display the CSS type.

Thanks for your swift response Josh. Is there one type that will display across all browsers, such as CSS, or do I need to include the default as well as the CSS?

If there were a type that displayed across all browsers and allowed for printing, we would have made it the default.

OK. I will include both then. Thanks for the clarification.
