Need date on a certificate image in SL3

Hi Roberta,

Follow the below steps:

1. Create a variable as "currentDate" 

2. Use "Execute Javascript" when the time timelines starts for the slide.

3. Write this javascript;

var today = new Date();

var dd = today.getDate();
var mm = today.getMonth() + 1; //January is 0!
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
if (dd < 10) {
dd = '0' + dd
}
if (mm == 1) {
var m_text = 'January'
}
if (mm == 2) {
var m_text = 'February'
}
if (mm == 3) {
var m_text = 'March'
}
if (mm == 4) {
var m_text = 'April'
}
if (mm == 5) {
var m_text = 'May'
}
if (mm == 6) {
var m_text = 'June'
}
if (mm == 7) {
var m_text = 'July'
}
if (mm == 8) {
var m_text = 'August'
}
if (mm == 9) {
var m_text = 'September'
}
if (mm == 10) {
var m_text = 'October'
}
if (mm == 11) {
var m_text = 'November'
}
if (mm == 12) {
var m_text = 'December'
}
date = dd + '-' + m_text + '-' + yyyy;

var player = GetPlayer();
player.SetVar("currentDate",date);

NOTE: You will see the date only when the course is published. You won't see the date on SL preview as JS are not running on preview.

I have attached a sample file here.

Let me know if you require any other information.

Thank you so much for responding with this solution.  It worked!

Roberta and Sanduni - thank you for this question and answer...I needed it today and it also worked for me. Woo hoo!
