Custom certificate activity (mod_customcert)

This activity allows dynamic generation of PDF certificates with full customisation in your browser.

Requirements

  • A supported Moodle version (use the plugin release/branch that matches your Moodle version).
  • PDF support is provided via Moodle’s built-in PDF library; no extra system packages are normally required.

Installation

Install either via Git or by downloading a zip. After installing, log in as an administrator and visit Site administration → Notifications to complete the installation.

Option A: Install with Git (recommended)

  1. Go to your Moodle mod/ directory:

    cd /path/to/moodle/mod

  2. Clone the plugin into a folder called customcert:

    git clone https://github.com/mdjnelson/moodle-mod_customcert.git customcert
cd customcert

  3. Check out the branch that matches your Moodle version.

    The plugin branches follow the Moodle convention MOODLE_XX_STABLE (for example: MOODLE_401_STABLE).

    git checkout MOODLE_XX_STABLE

  4. To update later:

    git pull

Tip: If you’re not sure which branch you need, list available branches:

git branch -r

Option B: Download the zip

  1. Visit the Moodle plugins directory and download the version that matches your Moodle release:
  2. Extract the zip.
  3. Copy the extracted customcert folder into your Moodle mod/ directory so the path becomes:
    • moodle/mod/customcert
  4. Log in as an administrator and visit Site administration → Notifications.

Upgrading

If installed via Git

cd /path/to/moodle/mod/customcert
git pull

If you also upgrade Moodle and need a different branch, switch branches first, then pull:

git checkout MOODLE_XX_STABLE
git pull

If installed via zip

Download the new zip version that matches your Moodle version, replace the mod/customcert folder, then visit Site administration → Notifications.
