Activities: Simple Certificate
This is a new activity module, Simple Certificate, based on certificate module maintained by Mark Nelson, but simpler, no needs to change any code to add a new certificate format, and moodle's administrator don't need to upload image files.
The certificate text are full customizable, using special text marks that will be replaced by variables (like student name, course name, grade, ...), don't need to change any language file.

If you don't mind, I have a few suggestions for a future release of this wonderful plugin. Would it be possible to:
1) Have a dropdown menu containing a list of certificate templates so that they would not have to be re-created each time someone creates a course? That way one could load a certificate and then just make minor changes as needed.
2) Have Moodle filter support? We run a bilingual (English/French) site where users would want their certificates to be created the in the current site language. The functions format_string() and format_text() would need to be applied. For more information, see http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Output_functions.
3) Expand the fonts? No matter what I do, the font always seems to be narrow. I was also going to ask if it would also be possible to add more sizes so that I could make fonts larger but then realized that I could probably do that in HTML. Still, it would be nice to have sizes available up to 72 pt.
4) Make the QR code in the Test Certificate verifiable? Either that or include a message somewhere that says it can't be verified. I spent some time testing the QR code with my phone only to eventually realize that it wasn't the Captcha I was typing that wasn't working.
5) Give the code below the QR Code image a solid background colour in case it is printed over an image?
That's it for now. Thanks again for all your great work!

I verified the codes automatically populated match what's in the original PDFs, so it's the code provided.
Also having trouble with including a background image. The PDF keeps rendering the image then the text (if I position an image) or no background (if I set the image as a background). Will this be something to expected fixed in the near future?

Hi Carlos, I will use Mark words to ask you, is there any plan to update this to Moodle 2.8?
Até mais,
Best regards,
Grato pelo plugin, estou usando o Moodle 2.6.1 (Build: 20140113) e tive um resultado inesperado no sistema. O sistema gerou um número de certificados (ao menos os códigos de validação) em alguns alunos (a princípio aleatórios, alguns nem ainda entraram na plataforma), como se houvesse o certificado. No relatório "certificados emitidos" aparecem os certificados "reais" e outros certificados sem o link do PDF e sem a nota (critério para acesso do certificado).
Consegues me ajudar? Grato
Using this plugin in M 2.9. It seems to be that whatever you put in for x,y position text nothing changed. Also text run from edge left to edge right. How to change this?
