Hi! The issue is that certificate codes with dashes (e.g., `0000-0000-0000`) fail because `PARAM_ALPHANUM` removes the hyphens. Changing it to `PARAM_ALPHANUMEXT` keeps the dashes and fixes the validation problem.

Current code: $code = optional_param('code', '', PARAM_ALPHANUM);
Suggested code: $code = optional_param('code', '', PARAM_ALPHANUMEXT);

Hi, Mark!
I really love custom certificate! But I got a problem...

I created a custom field in the course and am capturing the information contained in this field. The field is a text box with line breaks, and the text is a list and settings like bold and italics (the course syllabus).

When I capture this information in the template, it displays in a straight line, without line breaks, and it also doesn't display list elements, etc.

How can I make the content appear as it is entered on the course setting page?

Best regards,
Suzana

Hello, I would like to know how I can add the 'Download All Certificates' functionality in an older version of Moodle. I'm unable to update to the latest version.

Hi!
Thank you for this plugin, which we've been using on our platforms for a long time. One of the latest improvements allows downloading all the certificates issued in a course in a single ZIP file, all at once. This is a feature that users have always requested.
However, we’ve encountered two issues:
1. The bulk download does not respect the group filter.
2. If the course has many users and certificates, the plugin throws a 500 error.
Is there any plan to allow filtering certificates in the bulk download, or to run the download as a background task?
Thanks!

Hello,
I'm trying to download all issued certificates (it's 450 total), but after waiting 120 sec have an error "Request Timeout". When we had around 100 issued certificates everything was fine. Moodle version 4.5.5, Customcert version 4.4.6
Anyone had issue like this?

@Amdemichael - do you have the configurable reports plugin on your Moodle. If you do, it is very easy (if you know how to write SQL queries in there) to write a report to list all certs issued, and whatever other information you want (e.g. course name, userid, username, etc.)

I'm using Moodle 4.3 and installed custom certificate 4.3.5, and my aim to capture specific events related to user interactions with certificates. Specifically, I want to obtain the userid and courseid when a certificate is issued or when a course is completed. However, my current version lacks the necessary events for when a certificate is viewed or downloaded.

Is there a possibility of adding a custom field in certificate reports?

Hello,

We have a scenario where participants receive certificates in courses. Each participant has been assigned a mentor via the parent role in Moodle. This mentor should be able to see which certificates their mentees have already earned. However, access to the certificates is not possible because the certificate viewing permissions do not apply to user-specific roles.

Mentors must be activated as a global role, and users must be assigned there. However, this setup ignores the connection between mentors and mentees, meaning all users with the global Mentor role can see certificates for all participants, not just their own mentees.

Is there a solution for this? Perhaps the certificate viewing permission in the profile could be linked to the mentor-mentee relationship?

I hope I have explained the problem clearly and that a solution is possible.

Best regards

I am using this custom plug in. Is there any way to modify/edit the award date of a certificate?
