The QRLite extension allows to generate QRCodes as .png- and .svg-images. It generates and embeds them "on the fly" and does not store them as MediaWiki images.

Installation

• Ensure the GD php-extension is installed (e.g. on Debian issue: apt install php-gd and then restart apache, if not already installed).
• Download, extract and place the file(s) in a directory called QRLite in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

  require_once "$IP/extensions/QRLite/QRLite.php";
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
