Course-specific user data placeholders for certificates

1 Initial Problem

Course certificates do not support placeholders for object-specific user data.
The usage of these user data types should be possible.

2 Conceptual Summary

When editing certificate settings in a course, course-specific user data values should show up alongside the other course-related placeholders.

These placeholders would then be specifically marked with a "+", as to differentiate between them and other placeholders.

When using the course-specific user data placeholders, they will be then replaced with their given values when creating the certificate.

9 Discussion

09 NOV 2020 Jansen, Michael [mjansen]: As the maintainer of the `Certificate` service I highly appreciate this extension for course certificate templates.

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 09 NOV 2020 : We highly appreciate this suggestion and schedule the feature for ILIAS 7.

10 Implementation

Below the text input area, the user will now also see placeholders taken from the course specific user data.

When the certificate is then send, the placeholder will be replaced with the value that is taken from that users course specific user data.
