I don't think at the moment one exists. It can be created as a custom plugin, but I'm not going to be able to do it. You might try taking on the project yourself, or you might elicit assistance from a BT programmer. But at the moment, nothing 'in house' will immediately satisfy your requirement. Cheers! -- Smug

Check with @Kittsy - I think he was working on one. If not, let me know and I'll whip one up.

@Kittsy is the man indeed, he made a couple of custom plugins for me and they work beautifully. Highly recommended! Farcat

I have indeed figured out how to integrate a QR code, barcode reader. I had a discussion with someone about this yesterday. A QR code reader has a load of different uses, I think I have figured out quite a few of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAPmQbKIGVg&feature=youtube_gdata_player A QR Code that opens a hidden screen of your app easy stuff As in the video use as a loyalty scheme scan for collections, (the finished plugin has a timer delay to stop multiple scans) A QR code scan that pops up information about the thing it's pointing at, yet again another screen. More complex things such as checking a database of and returning information. Are in the learning process. My point being that I don't think it is that easy to develop a one size fits all plugin, for this I am happy to build custom plugins. If someone else sees this idea fill your boots, but the support for something like this will be just as frustrating as learning and creating the code. Feel free to PM me if anyone is interested, it will be custom and will look pretty and functional. Thanks for the shout out Farcat lol, I have a number of happy customers.
