Hi Jean Michel,

we applied 2 modifications to code and they work great: now we can give to users the amount of time spent on courses vs target time !

Doing some tests, I found again the first issue, where I'm not sure if I'm correctly understanding how the "cut" on timespent is linked to timeout. From the test I did, it seems that certificate could be realeased even if there is a timeout inbetween.

Here you can see the test I did:

Many thanks for your support

Re: Certificate: required minutes in course (CPD requirement)

This is an interesting question that I've been looking into as well.  I came across the "Attendance Register" plugin which supposedly does the tracking of time in a course for you, although it uses legacy logs and was last supported properly on Moodle 2.6, so using it could be risky.  Can anyone explain what the difference between "certificate: required minutes in course" and the functionality of "attendance register" is?

Also, just for my edification, are the changes mentioned in this thread formally in Moodle 2.9 ?

Thanks
