QR code link is broken about joindin-web2 HOT 9 OPEN

Roger. As for a temporary workaround, https://forqrcode.com/ is far better, the one you suggested tries to steer you toward signup trial and then forces its short-linking onto you :(

Looks like the Google Charts API is broken....

from joindin-web2.

Yeah. Google discontinued QR-code generation via chart.googleapis.com. Instead one should use the nerw charts.google.com. But a search for "QR" does not result in anything....

It seems that the point is that they discontinued the image generation endpoint: https://developers.google.com/chart/image

from joindin-web2.

Yeah... Please use www . qr-code-generator . com/ (or some other generator) for now until we found something decent as replacement...

EDIT: See below for a better generator!

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Is https://packagist.org/packages/bacon/bacon-qr-code a possible replacement?

from joindin-web2.

Could be. But a service that can be used via a get request would definitely be prefered 😁

Yes! We do not need to handle that. And Yes, we are doomed when someone decides to no longer support that 🙈

I've used Bacon in the past, and it seems to be actively maintained, so switching to an implementation where we're generating the images seems like a reasonable idea. We can output as a data URI so we don't have to add an endpoint, if that's the hangup.

We'll have to use an older version of the lib for now since we haven't done the PHP 8.x upgrade on this repo yet, but that's fine for the moment.

I'll probably have time between now and Monday to get this implemented with Bacon if someone doesn't beat me to it, with either that implementation or another one.

...and work stuff hit like a sledgehammer. I can maybe take a look at this this weekend, but won't be able to touch it prior to phpDay, though if a PR comes up I can review it.
