Requiring a Moodle site to add images into the pix/ directory of a module is poor programming practice, for many reasons. This module should be patched to allow the images to be added to moodledata/pix/mod/certificate/ or moodledat/mod/certificate/pix/ or similar. i.e., the site's ''moodledata'' folder, not the codebase pix/ folder for the module itself. | Requiring a Moodle site to add images into the pix/ directory of a module is poor programming practice, for many reasons.

I just installed the certificate for 1.7 on a local host. I did it a little bit differently this time to see what would happen. My 1.7 version was a beta, so I downloaded the 21 Nov 06 latest set of zipped files. I first unzipped the 1.7 new files directly to my 1.7 folder. Then I unzipped the certificate files to c:/1.7Folder/moodle/mod and it created the certificate folder there. Finally I started xamp and went to my localhost in my browser. Everything updated in the correct order as soon as I logged in as administrator. That was easy. I am not going to change the instructions because they are a bit more consertative for someone who maynot have unpacked files on a regular basis --Chris collman 07:38, 23 November 2006 (CST)
I will be installing certificate on 1.6. I will document my progress and post my install instructions. However this will be for my localhost (WinXP) machine. So it may have limited usefulness. --Chris collman 23:59, 8 June 2006 (WST)
The install was easy to figure out. Only made one false step, unpacked the zip file in moodle/mod and went directly to my moodle administration block. Then I looked at the file structure (blush) and the rest was easy.
Only question I have is if the lang .php file should go to en, or en_us or en_utf8 . I put it in both en and en_utf8. And I forgot if Moodle started to install when I went into Administration or when I exited the configuration link.
Did not see any install.txt file in the zip package. Suggest somebody add it and perhaps delete my install instructions here in MoodleDocs. :) Now to see how to use it so I can catch up with my production site administrator! Thanks!!!--Chris collman 20:49, 9 June 2006 (WST)
