TOPIC: Problem generating barcodes

Is there anything special required 'server side' to generate barcodes for emails?

I can't get barcodes to be generated, and the emails where they're meant to go just say "barcode missing" (or something similar).

Thanks, in advance.

Same problem here. I just gave up and disabled it.

Bumping this to the top again in hope of a reply.

I initially had this issue as well, but I didn't put much effort into fixing it. I eventually got it to work on accident when getting captcha to work.

Picture generation is done using the GD library which I had installed already, but what fixed it was the addition of TTF support. This is an addon to support text/image generation which makes sense because I think the system is actually using a barcode True Type font to create the image of the barcode themselves.

Which addon did you use. I am desperate to get the barcode issue resolved. GD libraries installed but nothing about ttf.

I'm running a VPS Cloud server with cPanel WHM. I went to easyApache, went through the steps to rebuild PHP. Got to the exhaustive options list and checked the TTF (FreeType) option. Maybe this will help you if you don't have cPanel http://www.lampdocs.com/blog/tag/how-to-install-freetype-ttf-support/
