#Certificate
The certificate plugin offers an enhanced support for creating and administrating certificates inside ILIAS.
Features
- Multiple certificate types with different layouts
- Generate pretty PDF layouts with JasperReports, the world’s most popular open source reporting engine
- Custom placeholders in certificates
- Multiple languages
- Certificates (pdf files) are stored in the ILIAS data directory instead of getting generated dynamically
- Revision of files
- Rendering PDF certificates with the integraded PDF Service in ILIAS (>= 4.4) or with JasperReports
Installation

Patches
The following classes/methods need to be patched in order for the plugin to work correctly. Most likely these patches will be part of the ILIAS core in future ILIAS versions.
/Modules/Course/classes/class.ilCourseParticipants.php
Copy whole method or the code blocks between PATCH START and PATCH END
public static function _updatePassed($a_obj_id, $a_usr_id, $a_passed, $a_manual = false, $a_no_origin = false)

"WHERE obj_id = ".$ilDB->quote($a_obj_id,'integer')." ".
"AND usr_id = ".$ilDB->quote($a_usr_id,'integer');
$res = $ilDB->query($query);
if($res->numRows())

// PATCH END
return true;
}/Modules/Course/classes/class.ilObjCourse.php
This Patch is only needed if you want to copy certificate definitions if a course is copied. It throws an additional event after cloning a course (append the patch at the end of the method).
public function cloneObject($a_target_id,$a_copy_id = 0)
{
// [..]
// BEGIN PATCH
global $ilAppEventHandler;
$ilAppEventHandler->raise('Modules/Course',
'copy',
array('object' => $new_obj, 'cloned_from_object' => $this)
);
// END PATCH
return $new_obj;
