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.

Any ideas?
Thanks
but a fresh install does not use upgrade.php at all, it's only used when you upgrade plugins, try to remove the plugin from moodle an install it again.
Just translated the plugin on the Russian language, hope to see an update
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!
