I scanned the QR Code and Barcode at the same ticket, and they gave different results.
The barcode result were the registrant number : 29-3-1-0AF3AE
but the result from QR Code is : 1-0af751e244526837152e5271b502d3ae
I used barcode & QR code scanner on my smartphone.
So how can I relate those results?
It turns out they are different codes for the same registration record. The default barcode returns the “short_code” which is equivalent to the reg_code value for the registration.
The QR code returns the “long_code”, which is the equivalent to the reg_url_lnk value for the registration.
You can change the bar code to return the “long_code” just link the QR code if you want by editing the ticket template so the barcode shortcode is like this: [BARCODE_* generate_for=long_code]
The barcode scanning add-on will accept either code type.
Hi Josh,
thanks for your reply. Is it possible to generate the short code for QR Code? Because we prefer the short code for the registration process later in the conference. I’ve tried to apply generate_for=short_code for QR Code, but it’s still generate the long one.
