Moodle plugins directory: Custom certificate

Hi Mark--great plugin! Wondering if there is a possibility of having first and surname each go to column in csv or text file, rather than the html for the user image? I can export as an html file and then copy/paste to excel, which works, but wondered if there was a simpler way I was overlooking? Thanks!

The custom certificate worked fine with Moodle 3.3 and the 3.3 version of the plugin. After updating to Moodle 3.4 and the custom certificate 3.4 (2017111300) version, I'm running into a series of errors. Any idea how to resolve the issue? Thanks

Hi Larry,

Can you please turn on debugging and tell me what the actual output was?

Hi Tiffany, currently there is no way of doing that. That would require additional coding to separate the values into separate columns. Feel free to create an issue at https://github.com/markn86/moodle-mod_customcert/issues and hopefully I (or someone else!) can work on it - if I ever get spare time ;)

Hi there. I was wondering how we could display the category total in the "Grade" element of the certificate. Currently the only options are "Course Grade" and "Graded items" within a topic. We offer a custom certificate for each topic and the grade is separated by course categories. Is this something I can enable in Moodle?

Hi Mark,
We are having two problems that seem like they might be related. The problems happen in a course with 1 user enrolled as a teacher and several users as students. When adding a Teacher name element to the certificate (or editing it), the dropdown list also includes Managers with permissions to the course inherited from the course category.

The second problem might be related. When Email teachers is enabled, Managers with permissions to the course inherited from the course category also receive an email.

Please advise.

We're using Moodle 3.1.9 (Build: 20171113) with Custom certificate plugin 3.1 release (Build: 2016052312). Do you have any idea if updating the plugin version to 3.1.20 (2016052320) will fix the problem?

Hi mark.

Can you prevent PDF files modification in My Certificates page? When any data is modified in certificate activity the generated certificates also is modified. Moodle 3.1

Hi Justin - Please see https://github.com/markn86/moodle-mod_customcert/issues/161.

Hi Tim - no, updating the plugin won’t resolve the issue. Can you create an issue in https://github.com/markn86/moodle-mod_customcert/issues? Thanks.

Hi Glauco - Currently you can not. The PDF is dynamically generated each time. Please see https://github.com/markn86/moodle-mod_customcert/issues/38.

Thanks Mark. Is there any way to remove the "my certificates" link from the profile?

Is there a way to download at once all issued certificate as a zip file?

We've got some new teachers using custom certificates. They are confused by the largish "Download certificate" button that they see when accessing the activity. It would be helpful to hide that button for teachers who don't also have a Student role.

Hi Mark, this plugin works fine with us. Thanks! But I was wondering is it's possible to download the certificate more than once, without the remark : "Summary of issues", The translation in Dutch was quite weird, we changed this, but we rather have no remark at all. And I was wondering if it's possble to add "the eye" in the certificate template , so you can make one standard certificate with several options and close an element if it's not requierd for that occasion.
