moodle-mod_customcert Expiry Dates

Hi Mark

I love this plug in, thank you so much for it. We've been using it for years.

I'm wondering if you are planning to add the expiry date feature that the new Workplace Certificates (which I know are based on your code) have?

Cheers

Hi. I am not Mark but I have created this function. I will make a pull request in several day after the testing.

Personally it is working just fine. If you need an installable .zip I can send it to you

oh wow, that is great news, thank you

This is the zip file. It's not very conventional but workable. I will notify you when production-grade version is ready. You also need to put $string['expriedon'] = 'Expired on'; to lang/en/moodle.php and clear the cache for language string to update. I'll figure this hassle out in future version. customcert.zip

That's great, thank you very much, I'll give it a try

@IntrovertHedgehog Is it possible to use your modification but have it set the expiry date for 2 years from the date of course completion for example?

Closing as a duplicate of https://github.com/mdjnelson/moodle-mod_customcert/issues/195.

Also expiry dates were added in https://github.com/mdjnelson/moodle-mod_customcert/pull/389 but it's very limited.

Reopening. I have decided to close #195 as there was a PR associated with it which I have used. This issue can be used to improve the current behaviour.

Is the consensus here just to add a date picker (like the workplace plugin) so a user can specify an exact date? We already have expiry dates for 1 - 5 years and am wondering how that should change.

Ping @i-am-sheep.

I'm happy with just 1-5 years but it would be great if you could add it to the verification page

Added PR #633 with a proposed implementation of this.

Code is up now on GitHub. I'll be releasing it on the plugins DB shortly.

Dear @mdjnelson, are the expiry dates really limited to a range of 1–5 years? We would need half a year for us to use this on a semester basis. Is it possible to use this?

Apparently we are using an older version without expiration date support. As a normal user it looks like I’m not able to check the version number.

Could you please create a new issue to introduce this? Right now it is only yearly.
