Is there a possibility to call a function in php to send a certificate?
So if an event is triggered, I check some conditions myself and issue a specific certificate.
Reason: we have a practical course. Sometimes teacher A takes it, sometimes teacher B.
I need the certificate to have the correct signature in the certificate.
I a new_user_profile_field I can put the teacher: A or B.
Functionality is: if in new_profile_field is teacher A then grant certificate A, if teacher B then grant certificate B.
Kind regards,
Robin de Rooy

Well, it's possible to do whatever you want as long as you know how to code it. 
This would require a developer to work on and can't be done out of the box. Sorry!

Thanks for the reply Mark. I am a user and developer, but propably have to dig a little deeper. I just added some pseudo code, or even less, to trigger a larger audience.
Do you have, by chance, a summary of funtions to call? Or a reference to this? Thanks for the input and pointing me in the direction.

https://github.com/mdjnelson/moodle-mod_customcert/blob/MOODLE_402_STABLE/classes/task/email_certificate_task.php#L192 is where the certificate is generated for emails but I suspect that may not help with choosing how it looks. Perhaps if you change the logic in https://github.com/mdjnelson/moodle-mod_customcert/blob/MOODLE_402_STABLE/element/userfield/classes/element.php#L132 you can get the field to work like you want.

Thanks, I will have a look.
My plan is to select a different certificate template, not a single field.
Something like, after 'exam_X_finished' event (cron):
Select case profile_field_examinator
case examinator_A
Use_cert_template(cert_template_A)
case examinator_B
Use_cert_template(cert_template_B)
case examinator_C
Use_cert_template(cert_template_C)
End select

Then you're going to have to do that logic in the https://github.com/mdjnelson/moodle-mod_customcert/blob/MOODLE_402_STABLE/classes/task/email_certificate_task.php file.
