  Hi all,
  
  Sorry for the delay in responding. I am getting a lot of feature requests/general emails in regards to this plugin and it is only something I work on in my spare time, for the most part.
  
  Glauco - Sorry, no. You would have to edit the code or alter your theme to hide it.
  
  Tim - Thanks for the report Tim.
  
  Arnel - That version is no longer supported, please upgrade. If you are stuck with using that version I suggest you turn on debugging so that there is a more meaningful message.
  
  Carlos - You can download the PDF and use it wherever you want. I am not familiar with Linkedin certificates, sorry.
  
  Edmund - No, there isn't, but that is a good idea. Feel free to create an issue at https://github.com/markn86/moodle-mod_customcert/issues.
  
  Ruth - Currently you can only get one issue per certificate per user. To remove that you could leave the string empty. I am not sure what the advantage of hiding an element on a certificate, rather than just deleting it would be.
  
  Richard - Yes, it is when the certificate gets downloaded. It can be issued to anyone who can access the activity and download the certificate.
  
  W Roes - I pulled that patch in and it is now available with the new releases.
  
  FPV Learning - This sounds like a bug. Could you create an issue at https://github.com/markn86/moodle-mod_customcert/issues with more details (eg. type of image)?

  Hi Mark, thank you very much for your work.
  I was using your past plugin for many time and I´ve been always very happy about its performance.
  Now I am configuring this one in a Moodle 3.4.2 and I was wondering if there is a way to set that the student name is always printed in capital letters no matter how the student was writing it. I got that in the past Certificate plugin by adding to the certificate.php the code below but I don´t find where to add the code in this version since the customization is via web browser, Will you be so kind to indicate me if this would be possible or if you are thinking in including this feature in the student name field of the plugin in coming updates?. Thanks again and kind regards. Adán
  
  Added code used to get the string fullname$USER in capital letters in the past version of the plugin: certificate
  
  $cadena_devuelta = strtoupper(fullname($USER));
  certificate_print_text($pdf, $x , $y + 35, 'C', 'Helvetica', 'B', 12, $cadena_devuelta);

  Hi Adan,
  
  Feel free to create an issue at https://github.com/markn86/moodle-mod_customcert/issues.
  
  In the meantime, to achieve this in the current plugin you can edit the mod/customcert/element/studentname/classes/element.php file and in the render() function wrap the fullname in strtoupper() (like in your example above).

  Hello Mark, I was wondering if it is possible to add more than just a background image. I need to add two smaller logos to the bottom of the certificate - instead of a singular background image. Is this possible?

  Hi James, you can always use the 'Image' element to achieve this.

  Hi Mark, for some reason, diacritic letters do not appear on custom certificate. I have numerous users who reported problems with Polish additional characters, such as 'ś" or "ć", which are being replaced by a question mark. Could you please double check if you are using UTF-8 standard everywhere?

  Hi Paul, this is due to the font you are using and is out of my control. You will have to make sure the font you decide to use is UTF-8 compatible.

  Hi Mark, I'm having an issue with my background image moving every time I go to 'Reposition elements'. The whole image moves off center each time I view it - is there anything I can do to fix this?

  Hi Jenny, please create an issue at https://github.com/markn86/moodle-mod_customcert/issues with replication steps (the problem image as an attachment would be a bonus).

  Not sure if I'm just missing this someplace or if it isn't a feature yet.
  Is it possible to export/import a template between sites or will I need to manually recreate the template on each of our sites?

  Hi Austin,
  
  It's currently not possible to do that, sorry. However, it has been reported before (see https://github.com/markn86/moodle-mod_customcert/issues/56) and hopefully will get done in the future.

  Hi there
  
  Someone knows how I can add a QR Code in the certificates?

  Hi John,
  
  This has not been implemented yet, but is a much asked for feature request. I hope to get onto it shortly.
  
  Please see https://github.com/markn86/moodle-mod_customcert/issues/146.

  Hi,
  Everything works perfectly but the retrieving of the grade scale. I created a letter (hybrid) scale for language levels (i.e. A1, A2... C1). I chose to use letter scale, but when I print the certificate it appears only the letter part of the value, for example C instead of C1. how can I solve it?
  Thank you in advance
  Fil
  p.s.: I'm using Moodle 3.5.1 and the 3.5.4 release of Custom certificate
