Optimize QR Code Version Selection Based on URL Length #85

@ghost

Description

Issue Description:
Currently, SmartyURL relies on a static QR Code version defined in the configuration file as Smartyurl.qrCodeVersion, with a default value of 7. However, it would be beneficial to dynamically determine the QR Code version based on the length of the URL.

Proposed Solution:
We should modify the function smarty_smart_detect_qrversion() located in Helpers/smarty_helper.php to automatically detect the length of the URL and select an appropriate QR Code version between 1 and 40. This dynamic approach will ensure that both short and long URLs are optimally encoded in QR Codes.

Steps to Implement:

  1. In the Helpers/smarty_helper.php file, update the smarty_smart_detect_qrversion() function to take the URL length into account.
  2. Calculate the length of the URL and use a conditional structure to determine the appropriate QR Code version.
  3. Ensure that the selected QR Code version is within the range of 1 to 40.
  4. Update the QR Code generation logic to use the dynamically determined version.

Expected Outcome:
By implementing this dynamic QR Code version selection based on URL length, we can optimize the QR Code generation process to accommodate both short and long URLs effectively.

Additional Information:

  • Consider testing the modified function with various URL lengths to validate its effectiveness.
  • Review and update the documentation to reflect these changes for future reference.

Please let me know if there are any additional details or specific guidelines for implementing this enhancement.
