HI

I set up a certificate template with a background image and added three codes - user name, course name and date.  When the certificate is generated, there is a gray background behind the text. Is it possible to remove the gray background?

Also, the date format appears in US format. I’m in Canada where the proper date format should be: YYYY-MM-DD or DD-MM-YY. How can I change the date format to something other than US (MM/DD/YY)?

Thanks much, Marion

 

You can use this code/tag:

  Âdate_complete format:"Y-m-d"]     

 

 


re: gray background. can you paste your html code in here for us to peek at?


I guess I need to change these two to FFFFFF?

Thank you for the code for changing the date.  Much appreciated!

 


or remove the background-color all together...


oh, you mean remove the HTML coding for background colour?  Thanks!


Just returning to the question about date format… is there any way to have the date spelled out? Example:  November 22, 2023 or even something like: 2023-11-22

Using the format suggested above displays the date as: 23-11-22, which can still be confusing.

 

Thanks again, Marion

 


@Marion try this one...it should display the written month

 

pdate_complete format: "F j, Y"]


OK, I’ll give that a try. Thanks again...

Hi,

Do any of you know if formatting works on all dates fields on certificates? or just the [date_complete] one?

 

I try on the Âlearning_plan_certification_date], but it did not work.

Thanks in advance


I have the same problem with the expiry date. Our learners are global so a 6/7/2025 expiry date format is ambiguous, but the format: "F j, Y" code doesn’t work on the tcertification_expiration_date] field, and I’ve been unable to find any way to customise this, even with css.
