Hi, I need to print USER CITY on certificate. My problem is how to get value from USER record. I actually use ver. 3.0 of the module but I consider to upgrade to 4.3.
Thanks in advance.
Me too. I posted some time ago and got no help. I need to pull data from the extra user fields, but have had no luck yet. Anyone? Thanks, Tom
hi Tom!
Which version of Moodle are you using? Are you prepared to edit the PHP files at your server as this will require some change in code.

Hi Vikram,
I'm using 1.7.1 version and absolutely prepared to change some code.
Thanks in advance.
We use 1.7 and 1.8. We also use the "fat" version of the cert. Thanks, Tom
hi Tom and gd!
You will need to add another line in following file where <moodlefolder> is to be replaced by your moodle folder. Please keep a backup copy of the files you modify before attempting this.
<moodlefolder>/mod/certificate/type/unicode_landscape/certificate.php
you should find code similar to this towards the end of the file:
Please look up (only look up, nothing requires to be changed) the definition of the function cert_printtext in the file <moodlefolder>/mod/certificate/lib.php which explains the various arguments.
This should do the trick.

you should find code similar to this towards the end of the file:
cert_printtext(170, 230, 'C', 'FreeSerif', 'I', 30, $studentname);Below this line, you need to paste a similar line (the original line remains - don't modify it) with $USER->city instead of student name. You will also need to change 170 and 230 with something sensible which are the x and y coordinates on the resulting certificate where the output will take place. 'C' stands for center, 'FreeSerif' is the name of the font, 'I' is italics and '30' is the size.Please look up (only look up, nothing requires to be changed) the definition of the function cert_printtext in the file <moodlefolder>/mod/certificate/lib.php which explains the various arguments.

Thanks Vikram,
It worked great!
Tom

Gd. and Tom:
You do not worry, you have 6 attempts allowed in the practices of the examination. I recommend unloadings to you the manuals of the professor and of the administrator, I also am learning, in fact I need much that to learn.
