How can I generate bar codes from my ninox database ?

Hi,

I think is not possible directly with ninox. It was a good idea to implement this in the future... I need it also.

A barcode is just a set of characters. I have Ninox create a unique barcode string for each of my products. Then I use the http() function to send the product label to a printer to create the label with a barcode.

ninox can use a iPhone/iPad camera to scan barcodes. A string is returned after the barcode is scanned. 

There is a REST API to create barcodes at the link below .  You could use the http() function to create the barcode image and import it into Ninox.

Ummh !! Very good ! Thanks :-)

I forgot that the http() function wants  a json response, so you can’t directly import the file.

From the manual

Return Value

A json object containing either an error or a result property.

I ended up doing a workaround to import fillable pdf forms.

I am overcomplicating this.

You can use importFile() to create the barcode. No need to use the http().

importFile(Id, "http://www.barcodes4.me/barcode/c39/"+ barcode +".png", "barcode.png")

To import the barcode as an image in the record instead of an attachement, you can do this:

Image := importFile(Id, "http://www.barcodes4.me/barcode/c39/"+ barcode +".png", "barcode.png")

Thank you Blackie, I have using tomorow your tip about barcode.

Hello il you can find a program in the EN 2020 webinar folder,in the ninox app. this is the SVG BARCODE GS1 program. I would have taken a screenshot but it doesn't work. You have to be connected to internet to use it. 

Hello Alain, thank you for the answer. do you know how can a found this folder? 

the screenshot still does not work  

of memory you must contact the service support@ninox.com.  then in the Ninox application there will be the Webinar EN 2020 tab with examples of programs

Hello,

It appears that barcodes4.me has sunset. Does anyone know of any other HTTP calls that can do exactly this?

Image := importFile(Id, "http://www.barcodes4.me/barcode/c39/"+ barcode +".png", "barcode.png")

anyone have a idea on this?

Hi MG ,

I have found another website service for barcode :

importFile(nouveauJob.ID, "https://www.cognex.com/api/Sitecore/Barcode/Get?data=" + nouveauJob.Code + "&code=BCL_CODE128&width=300&imageType=JPG&foreColor=%23000000&backColor=%23FFFFFF&rotation=RotateNoneFlipNone", "barcode1.jpg"));

Great! Thanks A million

Hi everyone,

my solved is here, 

# This is a global function

function createQRCODE(number : number) do
let qrcodeImage := importFile(Id, "https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=150x150&cht=qr&chl=" + number + ".png", "barcode.png");
qrcodeImage
end;

# you can call it from everywhere 
Image := createQRCODE(123456789)
