This plugin is an evolution of mod_certificate. It uses the template designer implemented by tool_certificate.

Adds the following features:

Allows "validation" subplugins to allow different mechanisms to validate or sign certificates.
Allows "storage" subplugins to route the final certificates to custom storages.
Allows to generate certificates about teachers activity in Moodle. Fully customizable with subplugins.

certifygenvalidation_cmd: Basic validation method that executes a system command.
certifygenvalidation_csv: Uses a external web service that adds a "Secure Verification Code" to a document.
certifygenvalidation_electronic: Uses a local digital signature, like in mod_certificate.
certifygenvalidation_none: dummy subplugin that generates unverified/unsigned certificates.

certifygenreport_basic: a demonstration of teachers' activity report based on a decision tree and some fundamental structural and behavioral metrics.

certifygenrepository_csv: certificates are stored in an external server and located by their code.
certifygenrepository_localrepository: certificates are stored in moodle_data, just like in mod_certificate.
certifygenrepository_onedrive: certificates are uploaded and retrieved to/from a OneDrive folder.
