2D Barcode

Firedup · 29-07-10, 03:54 PM

Do you think it'll help get more hits to your website though as people are curious?

**MJ10** · 29-07-10, 03:56 PM

Everythings worth a try!

Just uploading a folder called "Barcode" with an instant redirect. I'll then create a 2dbarcode from that url and see how it goes!

Everything is worth a go. The way I see it is that you will have maybe 10-20 ideas and 1 will be a success.

MJ10 did you ever figure out how to fix the zooming issue?

**MJ10** · 29-07-10, 04:13 PM

nope, still does it... won't let you zoom out!

Probably best to create an iphone optimized site for the barcode thing I reckon!
I'm guessing that's what they expect therefore you can't zoom out, same as you couldn't with an iPhone optimized site!

(Just tried Chapperz'! Still doesn't zoom out!)

You can make another directory just for this to test to.

E.g. www.[yourwebsite].co.uk/barcode/

No-one else will be able to access this website unless they read the barcode.

That's a great idea so you can measure where the traffic is coming from!

MJ10 - what phone are you using?

Can someone check to see if they can sign up on their mobile via my avatar .....

jrjokerz · 29-07-10, 04:20 PM

i just did. Yes you can. It took me to mobiles.FJ

**MJ10** · 29-07-10, 04:20 PM

iPhone

I just checked you avatar and it works... but it's zoomed in!

Does mine work? What does it link to?!

james2878 · 29-07-10, 04:22 PM

I'm not liking this zooming in business!
I tried yours as well chapperz - its zoomed in but when you click the ref link FJ is fine..... It just depends on whether the zoomed in-ness would put people off?

Firedup · 29-07-10, 04:23 PM

what do you mean by zoomed in?

chapperzUK · 29-07-10, 04:24 PM

jrjokerz - you said that you were using a Blackberry, did yours "zoom in" like it does for them?

iFreeZone · 29-07-10, 04:25 PM

It's for mobile web so the site it zoomed in and wont zoom out unless you refresh. Chapperz's one is working and MJ10's one goes to /barcode but as there's nothing there... "Page not Found" error...

Try it and you'll see what we mean!

@IFZ: yea, my sites takeing a loooooooooooong time to update atm. The DNS servers have only been changed today so it's being slow.

Btw, do you see a white or black site when you go to http://quickfreeiphone.com ??

Firedup · 29-07-10, 04:28 PM

the barcode links no problem and takes pic instantly no zooming in or out!

At least something works on the iPhone4

jrjokerz · 29-07-10, 04:28 PM

no it doesnt zoom in

chapperzUK · 29-07-10, 04:29 PM

So it works perfectly on the iPhone 4 and Blackberry (well the one jrjokerz is using).

iFreeZone · 29-07-10, 04:30 PM

Will have to try it at home. Really want to test everything out and make sure everything works!

Do you like what I've done with it?!

(Virtually nought! lol)
