Topic: Generating a bar code at the time an asset is created

I saw some talk about this as a feature under development, but the last posts looked like they were a few months ago.  Is work still moving forward on this feature?  I know pre-printed barcodes can be used, but that doesn't help if you want asset specific information to be included in human readable format on the bar code sticker itself.

With the code currently in svn,  you can print bar code labels to Avery label stock from within a new section of the Admin module.  This feature will be in the next release which we hope to have packaged for download soon.  We're just finishing up a couple new features (including Parent-Child Relationships) before we bundle it all up.

Is it possible to print labels in any other format besides pdf?

Re: Generating a bar code at the time an asset is created

Another way to generate bar codes with tracmor is to simply call the bar code generation script directly in your browser. For example, the following url generates a bar code of the word "test" in Code 128.

http://demo.tracmor.com/includes/php/ba … mp;scale=2

You can adjust the code, encoding, and scale values to generate bar codes of different symbologies and sizes. For more information on the usage of this script, see the PHP-Barcode site.
