QR Code generation using Javascript and Webviewer works great on desktop, but does not work in FM Go. Help!

[drpeppershaker 0]

I have a solution that is using the BRILLIANT offline QR generator found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/filemakertips/permalink/636169319785317/

Google Drive link if you don't have facebook: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17SYNdOdkKQX4troqeA-BFzg3B2y22JLR/view?usp=sharing

It works great on my mac, but I cannot get it working on any version of Filemaker Go on my ipad or iphone.

Any idea on where to start digging to see what the issue is?

I downloaded and can confirm that FM Go 16 fails.

Maybe this has something to do with it - it looks like a platform issue.

I've tried it on FM Go 16, 18, and 19.

If fails on all of them. It's definitely a platform issue.

If that link is correct

That is probably where it's failing. I'm no javascript pro, but I assume that the script writes to a temporary path when it draws the SVG.

I'm no JS pro either.

Check out qrserver.com

It's an online solution but you could collect lots of qrcodes to use later.

Unfortunately I need a fully offline solution.

 

I did find this:

https://community.claris.com/en/s/question/0D53w000054ISFOCA4/java-script-files-js-local-storage

 

Where the OP is using the exact same js script to create QR codes, and claims to have it working on FM Go. So, it is possible.

What about using the barcode creator?

I just took a look at that. It seems crazy slow compared to the solution I'm trying to get working. I will, however, keep it in mind if I can't figure out the solution to my issue.
