Hi everyone,

Someone know how to do this: I have a "course custom fields" (created in the administrative environment)... and I named the field "hours" (related to the amount of hours of the course) and I put a reference to that field in the certificate like {HOURS}... someone did something similar ?

Regards, and sorry the terrible english.
P.S: I created a "user profile field" and I reference to that field in the certificate as {PROFILE_FIELD_NAME} and that it works, but I don't need a "user profile field"... I need a new field in the course definition.

Hi,

What variable did you use ?, cause I think the "date" variable print the date when you generate the certificate.

Hi,

As I read, I found some reference to others variables that I can not use, like "hours" (total amount of course hours). Related to "date variable", I tried some names like "startdate" or "startcourse" but didn't work. I guess you must make some changes in the php file to print the date you want.

Attention...
Over time it is possible that the format of some variables may have changed and need to be adapted to the latest versions of Moodle.
You may need to correct this in your personal text that overlays the background image of the certificate?
A random example:
CERTIFICATE OF COMPETENCE
Issued at : {FIRSTNAME} {LASTNAME}
As a proof of success in mastering the skills required for the role of auditor in a Moodle course.
Relevant training: C1: Moodle user
{TEACHERS}
Document executed on {DATE} for all due intents and purposes.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I inserted the strings you gaved to me, but it saves only with the string name, and not resolves the name (see attachments)

Hi,

If you want to validate your certificate, you must loggin in your moodle site... or you need to make a little code change in the "validate.php" script.
