I have the custom certificate module installed and the "my_certificates.php" file is in the certificate directory but when I go to my user profile (I am admin), I don't see "my certificates" as an option to view. I've logged in as a user but it still doesn't show. Is there some way to edit the "miscellaneous" section in the profile to in include the "my certificates" page?

Did you complete the course activity that awards the certificate? My Certificates link in the Miscellaneous block is only displayed for students that complete the activity.

I did, but shouldn't it still show up as admin? I am the administrator on the site so It should still show. It shows on the adaptable theme even though I have not completed any courses. But when I switch to the clean sub theme it doesn't show.

There is no logic in the code preventing this link from displaying for any user. This sounds like a possible theme issue.

That's what I'm thinking too. I'm wondering if there is a work around for this. Maybe a block that shows all course certificates to download? Do you know of any?

There is a block for the old module, but not the new one as it isn't required because of the 'My certificate' link in the profile page. Unfortunately, this doesn't appear for you. I would address the root cause and have someone look at the theme, if you have someone with those skills.

I'm the developer so I can check the theme and compare it against the one we created the sub theme from. I just wanted to know if there was a simple solution or a block I could use. I wonder if I could put the my_certificate.php file inside an html block. But it might have some dependencies.

Hm, the report would look kind of big on a block. Feel free to copy the code and create a block if you wish. However, I would debug and check if the function mod_customcert_myprofile_navigation in mod/customcert/lib.php is being called when a user views their profile page. If it isn't, why? If it is, why isn't it rendering?

Thanks for the info. I'll let you know how it goes when I get around to looking at it again.
