What does it do?

QRBuilder is a CMP for MODX Revolution. It allows users to easily build customer QR codes in the MODX Manager. These QR Codes have simple counter stats within the MODX Manager. It also allows and builds into the URL parameters for Analytics, like Google, Matomo or similar. It will build a short URL like http://mysite.com/qr*123 that would redirect to the destination like http://mysite.com/folder/page.html?analytics_params=123&param2=abc&etc. This will allow the QR Codes to be less complex so they will have better compatibility with QR scanners on smaller prints.
