QR code in Info view does not render data

[Nidzo]

Phoca Cart 6.1.0Beta12
Joomla 6.1.0

I set {invoiceqr} shortcode in Payment method Info view description but generated QR code does not render
{b_name_first}
{b_name_last}
{b_address_1}
{b_city}
This is how it looks in Mobile Bank Application:


but in PDF sent by email everything is OK. All data, name, address and city is rendered correct.

Hi, info view does not have option to transform personal data like the personal variables, you can use only payment info like QR code with variable:

{invoiceqr}

This is exactly the QR code that is found in the Payment Methods description and is found by default after installing Phoca Cart

The short code {invoiceqr} shown does not generate data properly even when I set it to display in the email.

Hi, are you sure, that Phoca PDF including Phoca PDF Phoca Cart plugin is installed and updated?

100% sure.
Phoca PDF 5.2.1 and latest Phoca PDF Phoca Cart plugin

QR code in PDF is correct.
Problem is with {invoiceqr} generated code.

This is generated code in Info view after confirming order. Try to scan it.



You will get this from QR code scanner


and this from Bank application

With help of AI I managed to find the problem.

The completeTextFormFields() method, which handles billing/shipping address variable replacement, is not called in two places:

administrator/components/com_phocacart/libraries/phocacart/text/text.php → prepareReplaceText() method — affects Info view
administrator/components/com_phocacart/libraries/src/Mail/MailHelper.php → renderOrderBody() method — affects email

In the PDF pipeline, address variables are replaced correctly because completeTextFormFields() is called before QR code generation.
Fixes I have applied:

Fix for text.php — after completeText() call in the QR code section:

Code: Select all

if (isset($bas['b']) && isset($bas['s'])) {
    $pdf_invoice_qr_code_translated = PhocacartText::completeTextFormFields(
        $pdf_invoice_qr_code_translated, $bas['b'], $bas['s']
    );
}

Fix for MailHelper.php — in renderOrderBody():

Code: Select all

$basB = is_array($displayData['bas']['b']) ? $displayData['bas']['b'] : (array)$displayData['bas']['b'];
$basS = is_array($displayData['bas']['s']) ? $displayData['bas']['s'] : (array)$displayData['bas']['s'];
$qrCodeString = \PhocacartText::completeTextFormFields($qrCodeString, $basB, $basS);

Customer data in QR code was mandatory, but when I checked now, the National Bank of Serbia now marked that option as optional. Bank applications now fill those data automaticaly so there is no need for {b_name_first} {b_name_last} {b_address_1} {b_city} short codes anymore.
