Object : Certificate text position problem

Thank you for this great software.
I have a problem with generating a template for a certificate. For certificates for inhouse training we have a blank pdf template with forms where the student and course data can be entered. I wanted to use the same template and converted the pdf to a jpg to use as a background picture.
Using html tags I wanted to get the variables [firstname] [lastname] [course_description] and [today] in the right position on the certificate. Unfortunately all html position tags for this text are stripped from the html code when saving the certificate. I also tried to insert the html code directly in the myql table but the result is the same on the pdf that is generated.
Has anybody solved this problem? How did you enter the information regarding text size and location in order to get it displayed right on the certificate?
Help on this issue would be very appreciated. Thank you very much for your support.

Best regards,
Dan

I'm experiencing a similar issue.  I've uploaded the image file in .jpg for the certificate background but when viewing the firstname, lastname, and coursename do not display.

I've asked for assistance for months and no help!  Please let me know when someone answers your question.

Thank you

Possible Solution:

  1. Go to your server or ftp and locate Docebo\files\docebolms\certificate
  2. Next, change the file permissions to 777 (write and execute permission to all and subfolders)
  3. Then, login to the Docebo as an administrator
  4. Click, Admin Area
  5. Next Click the following: Elearning > Certificate Management > Certificates
  6. Then, Click > New Certificate
  7. Next, Insert a Name, description, then Click >Insert
  8. Now, Copy and Paste the Code below into the empty Code Template Text Box (do not add html or body tags...also save this as a text file to use and edit later)
<!--CODE Start--> <br>
                <br>
                <br>
                <br>
                <br>
                <br>
                <br>
                <br><br>
                <br>
                <br>
                <br>
                <br>
                <br>
                <br>
                <br>
                <br><br> 
                                       <div

align="center">[firstname] [lastname]         </div>                    <br>
                <br>
                <br>
                <br>  <br><br><br><br>                        
<div align="center">[course_name]</div>   
<div align="left"><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote>[date_complete]

</blockquote></blockquote></blockquote>
       </div>
<!--CODE End-->
