What is it?

This plugin allows you to generate the corresponding image to a given barcode and insert it in your view.

Installation

Add the plugin to the helpers list of the Controller you want to use it in:

public $helpers = array('Barcode.Barcode'); 

Usage

You can print the barcode to your view by adding the following line:

echo $this->Barcode->display(1234567890);

You can also pass it an optional array with extra paremeters:

echo $this->Barcode->display(1234567890, 
	array(
		'p_charHeight' => 200,
		 'p_label' => "Y"
	)
);

Check BarcodeHelper::display for a full list of options.

This Plugin has a basic hotlinking prevention that can be disabled by setting the following in your Config/bootstrap.php:

Configure::write('Barcode.disallowHotlinking', false);
