Custom Fields - QR Code plugin - v6.0.0 PRO 5 6
2 June 2026
- Addition: Local QR generation: QR codes are now rendered in the browser using Joomla's built-in QR library.
- Addition: Modernized the output markup (HTML5) and added an accessibility label to the QR code.
- Addition: Module shape: choose how the QR modules are drawn — square, rounded, or dots.
- Addition: Download buttons: optionally show PNG and/or SVG download buttons below the QR code. Files are generated entirely in the browser.
- Addition: Download size: set a separate pixel size for the downloaded image, independent of the displayed size (leave empty to match the display size).
- Change: QR codes are now output as scalable SVG
- Security: Fixed a cross-site scripting (XSS) issue where the field value was written into the output without escaping.
- Fix: Field values containing non-ASCII characters (accents, emoji, etc.) now encode correctly into the QR code.
- Remove: The plugin no longer sends the field value to the external api.qrserver.com service, so no data leaves your site.
