To access the configuration options for certificates, navigate to Site administration > Certificates > Certificates settings, where you will the following options:

• Issue certificates in user language: By default, certificates will be generated in the site's main language. If this option is ticked and the user's language differs from the site language, the certificate will be generated in the user's language. To support multi-language certificates, ensure that text fields contain multi-lang tags and the multi-language content filter is enabled. Date fields will automatically be displayed in the localised format.
• Show share on LinkedIn: Users can see their certificates on the My certificates page in their user profile. If this option is ticked, an additional column labelled Share on LinkedIn will be shown. When users select the LinkedIn icon, the certificate will be added to their feed. For this to work, you need to follow the shown instructions to receive your LinkedIn organization ID.

• Allow filters for the PDF content: Filters will only applied to generated certificate PDFs if they are enabled (in Filters) and selected in this list. By default, only the Multi-language content filter has been enabled to support certificates in different languages.

Certificate element plugins

If you wish to either change the order of the elements or hide any elements that are not in use in your organisation, go to Site administration > Plugins > Admin tools > Manage certificate element plugins and configure the list as required.

Developers can create new certificate element plugins. Once a new element has been installed, it will appear in this list and will be treated like any core element.
