Shortcodes certificate

…[UPDATED]….added the Author name….

Also right after ‘$username = $user[‘login’];’ at line 14 add the code:

$get_course_data = stm_lms_get_user_course($user[“id”], $course_id, array(), “”);
$post_author_id = get_post_field( “post_author”, $get_course_data[0][“course_id”] );
$instructor = get_the_author_meta( “display_name” , $post_author_id );

…and replace now the following:

OLD:
$shortcodes = array(“{username}”, “{date}”, “{course}”, “{user_first_name}”,
“{user_last_name}”);
$shortcode_values = array($username, $_date, get_the_title($course_id), $first_name,
$last_name);

NEW:
$shortcodes = array(“{username}”, “{date}”, “{course}”, “{user_first_name}”, ”
{user_last_name}”,”{instructor}”);
$shortcode_values = array($username, $_date, get_the_title($course_id), $first_name,
$last_name, $instructor);

…that’s it….now you can use the shortcode {instructor} also….

@wesley1066 Thank you so much!!

[UPDATED] @wesley1066 & @xezormarkv

Because the {date} is the generated date of certification and that is not the real date of course completion I have added the following code…

….To work right is IMPORTANT to replace the following code in /wp-content/plugins/masterstudy-lms-learning-management-system/stm-lms-templates/stm-lms-certificates-generator.php

$_option_name = '_cert_date_' . str_replace ( '', '_',$username) . '_' . str_replace ( '', '_', get_the_title ( $course_id ) );

….With this….
$_option_name = '_cert_date_' . str_replace ( chr(32), '_',$username) . '_' . str_replace ( chr(32), '_', get_the_title ( $course_id ) );

…then, add the following code in the file /wp-content/plugins/masterstudy-lms-learning-management-system/stm-lms-templates/lesson/navigation.php

At line 63~ replace the:
<?php endif; ?>

…with the following code….

<?php endif;

$user = STM_LMS_User::get_current_user('', false, true);
$username = $user['login'];
$_option_name = '_cert_date_' . str_replace (chr(32), '_',$username) . '_' . str_replace (chr(32), '_', get_the_title( $post_id ) );
$_date = get_option( $_option_name );
if ( empty( $_date ) ) add_option ( $_option_name, date( 'Y-m-d' ), '', 'no' );
else update_option ( $_option_name, date( 'Y-m-d' ) );
?>

…this addition will save the last date of course completion to database. This is the real date of course completion.

Try it and let me know.
