This is a nifty BB Code to generate QR compatible 2D "Barcodes" that getting more popular due to their compatibility with Android, iPhone, and other smart-phone devices. You can encode any text you want in a 2D Barcode up to 250 characters. The most likely use you will have for this is to encode a URL someone will then scan and follow.
These barcodes are generated and hosted by this site:
http://api.qrcode.kaywa.com/services/qr
Barcodes are for NON COMMERCIAL USE ONLY.
They reserve the right to alter or cancel this project at any time so I strongly urge you to save important barcodes locally so you have a copy. While there will always be free barcode generators out there it is less likely there will always be free ones that allow hosting of the code and a public API to interface with.
Using this BB Code is simple, put the data you want between [qr] [/qr] tags. Usually this will be a URL but it could also be plain text. In this implementation the encoded text will appear in a small font below the image. Also since I expect most will be URL's clicking on the image will open the URL in a new browser tab or window. If the data encoded isn't a URL though you will get a "404 Page Not Found" error.
You are obviously free to edit the replacement text to remove the link and/or text per your preference. If you need help doing this just ask.
Note you MUST include the "http://" to be compatible with most smart phones and for the link to work properly.
