I need to make a certificate for the end of the class that will put in the current date and student name automatically. I've been round and round trying to figure something out.
The certificate widget is almost useless. It won't let me change anything and just doesn't fit our needs at all.
The student needs to print a hard copy when done.
Any ideas?
thanks
Are you asking for the name of the student during the course? Using a Text Entry Box and validating to check if it is not empty.

The TEB has an associated variable that you can show in a text caption (or a shape if you use CP6) by inserting the var using the X icon in the Format accordion. Since you posted this in the Get Started forum, do not be offended by my offering another article about variables:
As for the current date, you can use the system variable cpInfoCurrentDateString inserting it the same way in a text caption or shape. This date is in the typical American way formatted, let me know if you do not like it, will be more complicated in that case but can explain.
