Netbox-qrcode plugin request to plugin co-owner #83

Application for code co-owner

Hello @k01ek, (and indirectly also: @cruse1977 and @natm)

i would like to help with the further development of the plugin. Therefore I ask for owner rights like @cruse1977 and @natm have.

Reason

Unfortunately the response times for the pull request are way too slow to be able to help. I had already submitted one a few years ago, which was only recently (I think) taken over. There are 3 code owners who seem to be very busy. I fully understand this, it's always difficult for me too. But since we want to use the plugin in the company, I am very interested in further developing the plugin. Especially so that it works well on label printers.

At the moment I have 2 pull requests ready, which I think are a great extension.

Another pull request will be coming soon, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep the branches apart. Because the bottleneck is always the README.md file. It is also time-consuming to merge all branches into one branch just so that I can continue on the existing basis.

I would even check @cholletk's pull request, as the topic is also relevant for me.


What comes with the next pull request:

This is my first Python and Django project, but I think I can add value to the plugin. Here is a small preview of what it looks like so far:

A few pictures of my development of the rare 2 days:

I have blurred the logos as this is currently not a dummy logo ;-)

Print preview 56x32

Without edge, exactly the same size as the label

Change from 56x32 to A4 printer

Selection label 10x25mm to 56x32mm label

9 different label designs configured for Device. And with racks there is still only 1 layout ;)

Here at the same time at the rack (only 1 label, same configuration file)

Don't worry, the INIT file will be cleaned up again, but just to see how you can configure multiple labels.

Closing words

So I am asking for code co-owner rights to support you. It's my first Docker, Python and Django project, but I understand the plugin 86% by now :D When I program it is usually C#, C etc.

Thank you for your time.

Hi @LHBL2003 I can appreciate your frustration here, alongside your interest in the plugin - but I'm not able to provide answer for you on this without consulting others. If you've seen the beta of 4.1 you'll have seen the plugin browser which is now part of NetBox, hence we will be circling back round to plugins as time permits.

For awareness, I've also this branch for the ability to override a URL (one of the FR's) - happy for your thoughts on this one. Not convinced its the best way to achieve (but other ways would require custom fields which isn't ideal either)

If you'll submit the PR, I'm happy to review. Approved the README pr, the vscode will take more time.

Happy to chat async on NetDev slack (I should be easy to find)
