Hi, since we are going to host an event in an internet-free environment, we have the need to do either of the following for validation purpose
1) Get a batch download of all the QR (and only the QR, not the texts) on every ticket sold for the event
or
2) Get all the QR decoded in batch.

So that we can enter them in to our offline scanner.

Is there a quick way to do this? A log file or shortcode maybe?

I know using barcode would be easier but we are expected to go with the QR.

Another option you have is duplicate the website onto a laptop that’s running XAMMP or MAMMP. Then you’ll have a copy of the website that you can refer to and even use for ticket scanning.

OK. Thanks a lot for the suggestion. We’ll see what’s the best approach for us as we have other limitations/requirements to take into consideration as well.
So, the batch retrieval approach isn’t doable eh?

A local instance of the site should work well if you can take that approach.

1) Get a batch download of all the QR (and only the QR, not the texts) on every ticket sold for the event

This isn’t easily doable as the script that generates the barcodes (QR codes are really still barcodes, just another type) is JS based, its needs to open in your browser to generate the barcodes. To pull in all of the QR’s and print them out you’d need to loop over all of the registrations, output them to a page loading the script and then save them to a PDF from the browser.

Its doable but needs some custom development from a developer.

2) Get all the QR decoded in batch.

It’s possible to include the value used to generate the QR code within the registrations CSV output by EE so you could then filter the details you want and use that.

Would that work?

If so take a look here:
