What are the instructions for creating a custom course completion certificate in Nutmeg?

Here’s my update now that I finally got it to work:

The correct tutor plugin to enable certificate customizations is:

name: enable_custom_certs
version: 0.1.0
patches:
  openedx-lms-common-settings: |
    FEATURES["CUSTOM_CERTIFICATE_TEMPLATES_ENABLED"] = True

After reading this thread I learned a useful trick to confirm whether a plugin is setting a value correctly or not:

$ tutor local run lms ./manage.py lms shell
>>> from django.conf import settings
>>> settings.FEATURES["CUSTOM_CERTIFICATE_TEMPLATES_ENABLED"]
True

So I’m pretty sure that was the main issue why it wasn’t working before. But for completeness, I also did the following:

git clone https://github.com/myusername/edx-platform.git
cd edx-platform
git checkout my_custom_palm_branch
cd ..
cp -r edx-platform/lms/templates/certificates/ indigo_mine_palm/tutorindigo/templates/indigo_mine_palm/lms/templates/
nano indigo_mine_palm/tutorindigo/templates/indigo_mine_palm/lms/templates/certificates/_about-accomplishments.html
	Insert a <h1>BIG TEST 1</h1>
nano indigo_mine_palm/tutorindigo/templates/indigo_mine_palm/lms/templates/certificates/accomplishment-base.html
	Insert a <h1>BIG TEST 2</h1>
tutor plugins enable indigo
	(even though it was already enabled
tutor config save
tutor local quickstart
	I confirmed they changes *didn't* apply if I only did a `tutor local restart`

Both of those changes showed up.

Another thing I did for good measure was I edited lms/djangoapps/certificates/views/webview.py in my_custom_palm_branch of edx-platform like this:

diff --git a/lms/djangoapps/certificates/views/webview.py b/lms/djangoapps/certificates/views/webview.py

And then I build openedx with:

tutor images build openedx --build-arg EDX_PLATFORM_REPOSITORY=https://github.com/myusername/edx-platform.git --build-arg EDX_PLATFORM_VERSION=my_custom_palm_branch

So @JS777 if you’re still around, that’s how I was able to do what you were shooting for in your thread.
