dellison1226 created the topic: QR Code on Property Flyer
I am interested in adding a QR Code on the property flyer that will allow users with a mobile phone to scan and redirect to listing page. Most QR generators provide a embed code and the only thing that changes in the code is the url.

If I am correct IP uses the format: www.yourdomainname.com/real-estate?view=property&id= (some number is placed here for the listing)


Is there a way using php to insert the property id in the code from the property flyer? I have created a custom print.php that is working correct just need the listing id to insert in the QR generator code.

I tried to use <?php echo $this->p->id; ?>

Example:
<img src="http://qrfree.kaywa.com/?l=1&s=8&d=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yourdomainname.com%2Freal-estate%3Fview%3Dproperty%26id%3D<?php echo $this->p->id; ?>" alt="QRCode"/>

If you created a custom print.php, then it depends what's being passed to that view. I'd var_dump($this->p) to see what you have there.

If you're just using the standard default.php view and modifying that for print, then yes, you should be able to use $this->p->id.

Are you seeing any errors in your PHP error log?

Actually if I post the code like this:
$sidecol    .= '<?php echo $this->p->id; ?>';

The id does show up on the page. I guess the problem I am having is inserting the id within a url.

Like this: (the id of the listing should show up after %3D)
<img src="http://qrfree.kaywa.com/?l=1&s=8&d=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yourdomainname.com%2Freal-estate%3Fview%3Dproperty%26id%3D<?php echo $this->p->id; ?>" alt="QRCode"/>

Of course the QR Code shows up but when I check the url it displays it exactly as I have it.

it's hard to say without seeing the code in context.

I'd guess you need to take a look at where that code block is since it's clearly not being interpreted by PHP-- so it's possibly surrounded by single quotes, etc.

This is the actual code I am trying to get to work
$sidecol	.='<br /><img src="http://qrfree.kaywa.com/?l=1&s=8&d=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yourdomainname.com%2Freal-estate%3Fview%3Dproperty%26id%3D<?php echo $this->p->id; ?>" alt="QRCode"/>';

No, you need to do it like this:
$sidecol .='...property%26id%3D'.$this->p->id.'" alt="QRCode"/>';

You can see I snipped a bunch of code out to make it more clear. . .
