Changing Encoded URLs

Learn how to change the URL that is encoded in the UR Code.

Introduction

The URL Change Script (url_change_script.ps1) provides a way to change Your UR Encoder Desktop URL Configuration so that you may change the URL that is encoded in Your UR Codes.

Use Cases

If you are a UR Code Issuer for UR Codes of multiple domains, this script streamlines swapping the use of different domains without having to set up Your UR Encoder SDK from scratch again.

Instructions

  1. Open your UR Encoder Desktop Folder by double clicking the UR Encoder Desktop Shortcut in Your Desktop.
    • Your Computer will open File Explorer to the Home Directory of the UR Encoder Desktop Source Files.
  2. Right click on url_change_script.ps1. Then, click "Run with PowerShell".
    • This file will open a Command Line Terminal where you will be prompted to choose which domain you would like to embed in Your UR Codes.
  3. In the Command Line Terminal, enter the number of the URL to embed in Your UR Codes.

Once you have made a selection, you will receive a confirmation, and the settings will be updated.

Example

C:\Users\Example\Roaming\UR_Encoder> .\url_change_script.ps1
Available Encoder URLs:
 [1] example.com

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use this script?

You should only use this script if you want to change your Encoder URL for your current domain. If you are changing your domain, we recommend running the UR Encoder Desktop Installer instead.

What exactly is this script doing?

Once the domain is selected, the script will update the URL in encoder_browser_sample/FaceTec-Browser-UR-Code-Encoder-Sample-App/src/Utilities/UREncoderConfig.ts that will be embedded into Your UR Codes. You can also modify this value yourself if you would prefer to manually edit this file by navigating to Your UR Encoder Folder.
