Hi, anybody knows hot to implement this barcode generator in php:

into MODX?

I would like to get a number from TV and generate image with EAN barcode.

You could use a snippet, including the barcode library, fetching the content of the TV and generating the barcode image on-the-fly.

You could use a plugin to generate the image on the onDocFormSave event, using the barcode generator library in the plugin code and saving the image to a file (if this library has that functionality).

This sample code is for changing a TV's value, but you can see from it that the TV value is available on the onDocFormSave event as

You would use the same getTVValue(xx) to get the value of the barcode TV, then include the barcode library, and generate the image, saving it to wherever you want.

Thanks, but its a bit complicated for me. Dont have such a deep knowledge of Modx to write a code myslef. Could you be please more specific?

If you know PHP, it's just a matter of using the barcode library in a snippet's code. If you don't know PHP, then you will probably need to hire somebody to do it for you.

This may be a little late, but I recently had to build something to return a barcode. Rather than building an image and store it in a cache folder on the server or create an embedded image that would have to transfer over the internet, I decided to use a handy jquery barcode generator. You can find it at:

My snippet basically says something like:

I also try to figure out how to implement barcode generator in php.

That link is for vb.net, a different language than PHP.

there are less tools for php than those for vb.net or c#, do you know some free online barcode generators for php ?

You may take a look at this site called onbarcode. You can find various barcode generators there. I used their PDF417 barcode generator for C# once. I am not sure if it has barcode generators for php. You may check.

I got the same problem days ago, and I found this tutorial for php barcode generator on Google. It's quite specific and useful. It helps me generate PHP barcodes with a single script file on any compatible website at server-side. No harm giving it a try. Good luck!
