Below is a copy of the message I posted to this board on March 23rd. It had several image attachments (screen grabs) showing what was appearing on screen. I am guessing that these image attachments posed a problem, so I am posting this message again without the images. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi Milan,

Thanks for your quick reply. First, by removing the space from the phone numbers, that issue was resolved (thanks!). Unfortunately though, a number of other issues remain. Attached are screen grabs displaying what appears in connection with QR codes generated by the plugin:

a) what I see on my WP site (note the display of the code fields on the VCard 4 version),
b) what I see when I scan these 2 codes on my iphone
c) what I see when I scan these 2 codes on my android phone

Also of note, I created a QR code with the exact same content but using a regular QR code generator service — with this option did not have any of the formatting issues (address formats, odd characters or inability to display characters like ß, ö, ü or é). Unfortunately for me, what I need is QR code generation on my site itself, (like what your plugin does), not using an external service and then having to import it extra, so I am hoping that the plugin issues can be resolved.

Thanks for your willingness to look into this!

[b]Wordpress display issues[/b]
With the VCard4 format, if you choose “Show content as text”, all of the coding labels get displayed on the page, when actually these should be hidden. With the regular VCard format this is not the case — here the coding labels do not get displayed.

[b]VCard format[/b]

Code entered:
[smqrcode size=’300′ textual=’show’ layout=’1′ method=’vcard’ n=’Zentrum für Kinder- und Jugendmedizin: Uniklinik Freiburg’ org=” title=” tel=’+4976127043000′ url=’https://uniklinik-freiburg.de’ email=’info@uniklinik-freiburg.de’ adr=’Heiliggeiststraße 1, 79106 Freiburg, Germany’ note=’Here is a note’]

iPhone bugs/issues:
– random character coding displayed under company name (“Zentrum für Kinder und Jugendmedizin…”)
– email not displaying properly – random character coding
– address (including street name, postal code, city and country all displaying together in the same field (the “street” field) rather than being separate fields. This causes formatting issues — as seen here where the zip code 79106 ends up on the address line, rather than on the next line together with the city.

Android bugs/issues:
– the company name (“Zentrum für Kinder und Jugendmedizin…”) is displaying in the place of the first name, and the middle name and last name have been filled in when there should have been nothing there at all, because none was entered
– email not displaying properly – random character coding same as with iphone
– address formatting issue, same as above

iPhone bugs/issues:
– email not displaying properly – random character coding
– special characters not displaying (example: Heiliggeiststraße — see the formatting of the ß )
– address formatting is good this time with VCard4 (includes street name, postal code, city and country in separate fields)

Android bugs/issues:
– email not displaying properly – random character coding
– special characters okay (unlike on iPhone)
– address formatting okay (same as iPhone)
