QR code generator no redirect?

I'm curious as to if the QR code generator ("KewAr Code") is the orginal url/link that's added to the content creation tool, or is a redirect.

I've noticed most free QR code generators are data mining, and I'm trying to protect my students.

Hi haskins,

I'm sure it is the original link and no redirects involved.

Hi haskins!

I am the author of that content type. That QR code generator does not use redirects and does not send any data to any 3rd parties. It's all happening on your server and the users' devices. The source code is openly available at https://github.com/otacke/h5p-kewar-code for verification.

Cheers,
Oliver

I'm wondering if it's possible to insert a logo into the QR code using KewAr Code.

Wondering if anyone has any experience customizing this feature to allow for icons to be inserted into the middle of the QR codes?

QR codes still work with images inside, at the expense of redundancy. KewAr-Code uses the lowest error correction level - keeping them small, but without much redundant data. It's not advisable to put images on top.

It should not be difficult to add an image feature, but the code would need to be changed. Will probably not be feasible with customization from the outside.

Dear H5P Community,

I am experiencing an issue where H5P content does not load in the Moodle mobile app, even though the Moodle app itself is functioning properly. The H5P activities seem to attempt to load but never fully display.

I have tried the following troubleshooting steps:

• Verified that H5P works fine in the Moodle web version on a browser.

• Ensured that the H5P plugin is updated on my Moodle site.

• Checked Moodle’s mobile settings to confirm that H5P is not restricted.

• Cleared the cache and reinstalled the Moodle app on my device.

Despite these steps, H5P activities still do not load in the mobile app, while other Moodle features work normally.

Has anyone encountered this issue before? Are there any specific settings or configurations I should check to ensure H5P compatibility with the Moodle mobile app?

I appreciate any guidance or solutions you can provide.
