Description:

We would like to introduce a Data Matrix or QR code functionality within the Eurofurence app that can be utilized for various event-related activities.

  • The QR/Data Matrix code should be accessible via the app for attendees and volunteers to use for various interactions.
  • Specific groups, such as those with Sponsor or T-Shirt statuses, should receive the QR/Data Matrix code via email prior to the event, allowing them to print it out if needed.
  • The code should have multiple possible uses (e.g., bidder registration) to enhance the event experience.
  • Given the app’s stability with the current volume of logins, we expect this feature should be technically feasible.

Tasks:

  • Generate QR/Data Matrix code for each user within the app.
  • Provide an option for users with Sponsor/T-Shirt status to receive the code by email.
  • Ensure the code is reusable for multiple event interactions (e.g., check-in, bidder registration, etc.).

Notes:

  • Barcode scanners work like keyboards and are usually configured to end the code with an "Enter"
  • Currently, the DataMatrix codes contain just the reg number - not even the checksum letter
  • Existing EF software auto-focuses appropriate input fields if any numbers are entered. Therefore, it would be great if the newly generated codes could contain just the reg number.
  • If using numberic codes is not possible for some reason, the codes should all start with a prefix letter or a number, so the barcode input field can be auto-focussed upon seeing that prefix letter.
  • If more complex content is required, some alignment would be ideal to prevent collisions with existing keybindings in the software consuming these codes. (Example: "A"/"a" and "S"/"s" have special meaning in the sponsor and con store software).
