    Right. I admit that the centralised management of the QR codes and their labels can be useful. Also the potential for the ability to easily track for clients visiting the page via in.php is nice - there could be an event logged in this script for that. I reported couple of details suggestions into your tracker. I am happy to approve the plugin now. Thanks for being patient. You are cleared to land now, welcome to the Plugins directory!

    Really great Plug-In. We stoped developing our own QR Plug-In after we saw yours.

    Me (and also Ralf Krause from Moodleschule e.V.) have found a bug. I tested the bug and can describe it as follows:

    Only the first URL that is generated during a single Moodle Log-In Session is generated correctly. The second and all following QR-Codes still link to the first generated URL.
    After a re-login on the Moodle Platform you can generrate a working QR-Code for a new URL.

    I tested it on Moodle 3.0.4 and did a simple Screen Recording:

    Hint about my last Post: the course with ID 20 was the first course where I created a QR Link, the course with ID 98 was the second one, where the QR Code only was correct after re-login.

    Hi Jürgen,

    I believe we've fixed the bug you've reported. Could you please upgrade the plugin and let us know if you still have the same issue.

    Thanks,

    Hi,
    your plugin is very nice! Yes, the problem which was posted by Jürgen Kappus has gone. I tried to translate all the strings for the german language pack but the strings in the Moodle translation tool AMOS and the strings inside your plugin are different. Please correct this problem.

    Hi,
    the QR Links are dynamic links in my Moodle website. The QR code always shows the landing page and the id number of the link. I can change the URL without changing the QR code. That's very cool!

    I think that it would be a nice new feature to get a counter for the different QR Links. The counter should show how often a QR Link is opened. Only the creator of the link (and the admin) should see the counter. Also the creator of the link (and the admin) should be able to reset the counter to zero. What do you think about this idea?

    Best regards,
    Ralf

    Hi, it's my favorite widget which helps my students easily access their courses through the QR links. Please upgrade to support Moodle Ver. 3.2. Many thanks!

    Does it actually break in 3.2? I would expect it to work even though we haven't tested it. If there is bugs can you please create a github issue

    Dear Ralf,

    I have a question regarding generating a QR Code which will directly open the Mobile Moodle app.
    I've found that inserting moodlemobile://link= before the URL will work, but unfortunately, this syntax is not accepted by QR Links.

    Do you have a suggestion?

    Thanks and regards,
    Patrick
