certificate on a moodle 1.9+

Hello!

I work for the Brazillian Post Office, on the E-learning section; until recently we worked with moodle 1.6.2 and did not implement the certificate module, while waiting for the 1.9 update.

So we got the 1.9+ version to start working, and finally implement the certificate. Thing is, the customized module I worked fine. But my machine's HD fried and I lost all work sad

Now I'm trying to restart all the work but I'm stuck on the module itself. Please someone suggest me: which certificate version should I install on my moodle 1.9+ ? I browsed the forum and find out there's Chardelle's version and a FAT version (only for moodle 2.0, apparently).

My moodle is 1.9 +, php 5.3.5, mySQL 5.0.7 running on xampp, win xp. On my test machine I'm running another moodle 1.9+ and a moodle 2.0 (with different DBs and moodledata folders, of course).

htdocs\moodle - moodledata
htdocs\moodle19 - moodle19data
htdocs\moodle20 - moodle20data

After installing Chardelle's 1.9 version, from this (http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=181289) topic, I get the following error:

Notice: Constant FPDF_VERSION already defined in E:\xampplite\php\PEAR\fpdf.php on line 10
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class FPDF in E:\xampplite\php\PEAR\fpdf.php on line 13

Help!

We just had a similar problem running a LAMP install ->

Apache 2
php 5.3.5
Moodle 1.9.9

An update to php 5.3.5 appears to have been the culprit. The box is a production instance so we needed a quick fix.

In the

/usr/share/php/fpdf

directory we renamed the  fpdf.php file to fpdf.backup

this allowed the library only to be called once and appears to have fixed the problem. 

Hope this helps.

Hello:

Another possible solution is comment the line four in the file mod/certificate/view.php

<?PHP // $Id: version.php,v 3.1.0
require_once("../../config.php");
require_once("lib.php");
//include '../../lib/fpdf/fpdf.php';

in order to load just once the functions.
