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:

  [date_complete format:"Y-m-d"]

I guess I need to change these two to FFFFFF?

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

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
