    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.

    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.

    Hi. I'm not sure if I've missed something somewhere... but I can't find any documentation/explanation on the following basic concepts of this plugin:
    1. How/when is a certificate "issued"? Is it issued when a user accesses/clicks the activity? And/Or when they have completed/achieved a specified goal/task... and if so, is this just set up using the "restrict access" settings within the plugin?
    2. Who can a certificate be issued to? EG How do I set it so that only users with a "student" role in a course can be issued a certificate

    Hi Mark,

    We're seeing the same problems as mentioned by https://moodle.org/user/view.php?id=2351269&course=1 in december 2017. I believe a pull request was created https://github.com/markn86/moodle-mod_customcert/pull/174/commits/d533ad92277bfd0748cefbcbc664bbc210c28246

    Will you be integrating that in the next release?

    Thanks,
    Willem

    Hi Mark,

    Not sure if this has been asked, but I am having trouble getting the background image to show. Its there when repositioning elements, but then disappears in PDF mode.

    Any advice?

    Thanks
