Uncanny Owl Simple Course Timer and automated reports

Hi @mullenmichelle,

You can use one of our Simple Course timer module shortcodes on the certificate. Please add [uo_time_course_completed] shortcode where you want the timer to appear on the certificate. This is a generic shortcode that will work for a course certificate linked to multiple courses. However, if you have a separate certificate for each course, then you should use [uo_time_course_completed course-id="123"] (Replace 123 with the actual Course ID).

You can also use the same shortcode on the main course page, and it will display the total course time of the course. You can read more about it in our KB article of Simple Course Timer.

Once you place the shortcodes in your certificate, please copy/paste the code snippet below towards the end of your child theme’s functions.php.

add_filter(
	'uo_generate_course_certificate_content',
	function ( $cert_content, $user_id, $course_id ) {
		return preg_replace( '/(\[uo_time_course_completed)/', '[uo_time_course_completed user-id="' . $user_id . '" course-id="' . $course_id . '"', $cert_content );
	},
	99,
	3
);

The Simple Course Timer also adds additional columns to Tin Canny LearnDash Reporting reports.

I hope this helps. Feel free to reach out for any more questions.
