How to add URL style QR code in Part page?

[wafflecrate]

Hi everyone-

New Inventree user looking for some guidance. I have a new Part entry and I want to generate a QR code that, when scanned on a smartphone brings the user to Inventory count page.

Because right now when I Click "Part Label", the label looks good, but the QR code links a generic string called {"part: 1} and attempts to open it in Google on my smartphone.

This article says you have to add the below HTML tag in order to make the QR code link back to the stock item page.

Which template file am I supposed to add that HTML tag into? I tried adding it into the qr.html file but then it made the QR code gigantic!

@wafflecrate the QR code by itself is not meant to provide a fully-qualified URL. It is meant for scanning using a system which understands the context of the data.

For example the InvenTree mobile app can scan these barcodes natively. And if you are using a USB barcode scanner in the web interface, it will work too.

But scanning via a generic barcode scanner on your phone is not the intended use case.

I understand now and you are correct. I was not using the QR code correctly (was just using my smartphone's camera app). Thank you for clarifying this. This issue has been solved.
