Changelog

1.4.9

  • New "Check again" button next to the Ghostscript status: clears the 12-hour cache and re-detects it without saving the settings

1.4.8

  • The certificate link and the course-page notice are now part of the plugin (previously a separate must-use plugin)
  • After updating, delete the lares-certificado-curso-mk20.php mu-plugin: keeping both would show the notice twice

1.4.7

  • Per-course certificate switch: all courses generate certificates by default; check "No generar certificado" to disable a specific course
  • Fixes the inverted behaviour introduced in 1.4.6 and cleans its temporary post meta

1.4.5

  • DNI/NIE is now read from the dni_nie, nif_nie, dni, nif or nie user meta when the configured BuddyBoss field is empty

1.4.4

  • Native certificate start date now uses the student's first lesson/topic/quiz activity instead of the course or enrollment row
  • Optional compression of external Lares PDFs with Ghostscript (150/300/72 dpi) before saving; the original is kept if Ghostscript is unavailable
  • Certificate attachments no longer generate unused PDF previews and thumbnails, reducing storage usage

1.4.3

  • Course titles are decoded before rendering the PDF, so HTML entities no longer appear
