Features

Addition of description and image parameters during module creation

With Shika 1.3.3, site administrators can now add additional details like module description and image during module creation and also to the already existing modules. This feature along with the layout support feature which came in the earlier release will allow developers to build custom layouts for course table of contents views.

Addition of Certificate PDF generation parameters

We have added an option to specify page font and page size for the existing certificate template. Shika 1.3.3 allows you to create awesome looking certificates by experimenting with different page fonts and different page sizes. Note that the changes made to font size and page size are only visible after downloading the certificate in PDF format.

Given below are the certificate templates with page size A2 and page font as Courier and Times New Roman respectively
