Certificate generation and QR code verification in Chamilo 1.11.32

[ahmedbahoseen-max]

Hello everyone,

I am currently using Chamilo LMS version 1.11.32, installed manually from the official Chamilo source (not via hosting providers or custom distributions).

I would like to ask for clarification regarding certificate generation and verification, as I am facing the following situation:

I am unable to find a Certificates tool inside courses (either in Course tools, Assessments, or Gradebook).

There is no accessible certificate validation page such as:

/certificates/validate.php

or any similar public verification endpoint.

The /certificates directory exists in the root installation, but it does not appear to be functional or connected to any user interface.

I am logged in as platform administrator and also added as teacher inside the course.

I tested both Arabic and English interface languages.

The installation is clean and unchanged from the official release.

My functional requirement

My goal is to issue digital certificates that:

Are generated automatically (or semi-automatically)

Are downloadable as PDF

Contain a QR code or unique code for public verification

Allow third parties to verify certificate authenticity via a public page

My questions

Does Chamilo 1.11.32 officially support certificates with verification?

Is there a supported or recommended way to:

Enable certificate generation?

Add a verification page?

Include a QR code in certificates?

If this feature is not supported in 1.11.32, which version officially introduces:

Certificate tools

Public verification

QR code support (if any)?

Is there any official plugin, module, or recommended external integration for certificate verification?

I would appreciate any clarification from the Chamilo team or community members, especially regarding officially supported approaches, best practices, or upgrade paths.

Thank you very much for your support.

Best regards,
Ahmed

Hi @ahmedbahoseen-max

Certificates are generated in the assessment tool and in the certificate model you can include the link to the certification page for this user on your chamilo platform (it can be included through a QR code as well).
You should refer to the assessment documentation here to configure the tool in your course the way you need : https://docs.chamilo.org/teacher-guide/assessments
For the certificate creation and integration of the link you can se in particular this part of the documentation : https://docs.chamilo.org/teacher-guide/assessments/weights
