Super Cool QRCode (WP Plugin)

Attention: this plugin is still experimental, it can behave strangely, use at your own risk.

A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The “QR” is derived from “Quick Response”, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. QR Codes are common in most mobile phones that can read this code with their camera.

    Plugin is working well; thanks for your efforts, but I get tons of header errors when logging out of Admin in WP:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/chadeby/public_html/courses/wp-content/plugins/super-cool-qrcode/super-cool-qrcodes.php:1) in /home/chadeby/public_html/courses/wp-login.php on line 290

    I want to use the plugin, but It’s a little worrisome…

    I have two categories, one is called “heisefizierung”, and one is called “blabla”, i set size to 170, encoding to UTF-8 and Error correction to H. Margin is 1, link is “false”, target is “_blank” and “border” is 0.

    Why does the QR code of “blabla” fill the whole QR code image in this category, and why is there a big white border around the QR code while viewing category “heisefizierung”?

    I noticed that on some of my other categories too, that the QR code is sometimes in other sizes (the QR code image itself is always the same size, only the size of the QR code itself changes).

    I am trying to get the online decoder zxing.org/w/decode.jspx to work but for some reasons it tries to download some ‘decode’ info.
    I actually get a download screen. Only I can’t open it.
    It gives me the options Search, Save, Cancel..

    Is there some option I have got to enable or disable ?

    I tried to use on Japanese WordPress 2.7.1 and am getting repeated PHP header error upon HTTP FORM submission in Admin interface. Could you take a look? I tried to use your latest 0.0.6.
