Updating certificate information after initial award

1 Initial Problem

Certificates are regularly produced incorrectly and then have to be recreated (often manually) via workarounds or remain incorrect due to the system.
This is often the result of typing errors in courses, templates, name changes or the transfer of user data from other systems.

2 Conceptual Summary

A new tab "Manual Correction" is to be introduced in the administration of certificates.

This should make it possible to regenerate all certificates for individual users or the certificates of all users for individual objects.
In this case, all placeholders in the certificates are reinitialised and the existing certificates are overwritten.

Specifics

• Date and time informations of ILIAS cannot be overwritten:
  • [DATE]: Actual date
  • [DATETIME]: Actual date and time
  • [DATE_COMPLETED]: Date of completion
  • [DATETIME_COMPLETED]: Date and time of completion
• Different for:
  • []USER_BIRTHDAY] is a personal date and would be updated.
