Moodle in English: Custom Certificate in Adaptable

Custom Certificate in Adaptable

by Mark Jackson - Wednesday, February 19, 2020, 11:18 PM

I have been using Moodle with the theme Adaptable now for some time, but I am unable to link the custom certificate I've created to a course.

I've followed Mark Nelson instruction on YouTube (very good by the way) but when I come to getting the teacher to link the course to the certificate template I am at a loss.

I have created the certificate and the fields in the global setting I just can't link It to the course.

A step by step would be useful if anyone has any ideas.

Kind regards

Mark

Hi Mark,

To clarify, is this a 'how to use Moodle' or 'there is an issue with the Adaptable theme' question?

I don't really know, as I can't find where I'm supposed to link the site certificate to the course.

on YouTube Mark describes opening a page where you can download the templet, unfortunately I cannot find that page, so need some direction if its there, after that I don't know what to do.

regards

Mark

Pretty sure this is a moodle certificate question. You need to add the certificate activity to the course - then you go to the Edit Certificate and you can load the template from there.

I have screen dumped the pages, There seems to be no link to the certificate allocation

1st is my lesson page (a ping copy of the cert is here only), the certificate link to download is below the picture

2nd is the exit screen no link there either

3rd is the link screen, when you click the view cwertificate a blank pdf downloads.

hopfully this will clarify

Thank you

Has anyone come accress this problem and has a solution?

We are currently manually issuing certificates and this is very time consuming and not very good for our students who need the certificate sometimes before being allows to start work.

Did you happen to make it work? I am having the same problem, meaning, can't assign the certification template to the course.

I am getting a blank page too.

That is the wrong page. You need to click the link 'Edit certificate', depending on your theme it will either be on the left in the menu or you will have to click a clog icon on the right.

Hi

No I haven’t managed to get it working. I’m having to manually issue certificates which is a right pain.

There is no edit facility visible and no cogs etc.. at a complete loss on how to, do it..

Not got any real help from the forum either.

I would, if possible, change the theme and see if the edit icon appears. I am assuming this is 100% a theme issue as it does not happen with core themes and no one else is reporting this. Just to clarify, all you want to do is to load a site template into a custom certificate activity you have added to a course?

Hi Mark

Just confirming that I have a site certificate set up and can edit and see it through general administration

When I load the certificate activity I cannot see how you link the site certificate to the activity. There is no administration block on the right just navigation.

I’m not a major user but if I can get this working it has a big use for us. At present it’s very time consuming even though the concept is excellent.

Are you able to change your theme and see if that works? Either you don't have permission or the theme is hiding the menu. If you are able to add a Custom certificate to the course then you should be able to edit it, so my guess is the theme is hiding it. You could always search the DOM for 'Custom certification administration' and see if it is present in the HTML but is being hidden for some reason. The link to load the template is in the same menu as a whole bunch of other Moodle settings, see Chintan's screenshot below.

Hey Mark Nelson. Thanks for the guidance. It was certainly hidden in plain sight!

For others - The Custom Certificate Admin is probably sitting under your Navigation menu. Look down the bottom and you might find it! You might also try to locate this by searching the word "custom" on the page.
