Rendering a barcode using HTML

ERPNext User Forum

After my previous thread about barcode printing I came across this:

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/146336/Creating-a-Code-Barcode-using-HTML-CSS-and-Java

That got me very excited as I thought I might be able to embed something similar in a HTML type Custom field and print that on the Standard Sales Order Print Format.

Can anyone with some coding experience indicate if this might work as intended?

As a word of warning in my testing I’ve managed to “break” the customise form layout - no fields below that field now display and I can’t delete the script field as shown - no rubbish icon. A reset to defaults doesn’t even work :frowning: it just moves that field to the end of the list.

Nice.

Found this one too!

Maybe we can add a new field of type “Barcode” that will automatically create the barcode.

Let me add this to V5 :smile:

@rmehta big thanks for adding to v5. I also found this one which looks promising but I’m yet to get my head around the coding and what I need to do to get it working within a Custom Print format. Which forum area would be best to ask such questions in???

Cheers
Liam.

The barcode feature is an excellent idea. Ver.5 is starting to look excellent.
Great work guys.
