I have a question about generating certificates in articulate 360. How can I put today's date at the certificate? And how can I make the size of the name ( = var learnername) bigger?
It looks like maybe you got the files from this post from Steve Flowers that predates the 360 rewrite?

With Storyline 3 and Storyline 360, the publishing engine got a full rewrite and some of these older workarounds and methods may not work as expected. It also looks like Steve moved to a different method entirely - so perhaps he can share more specifics on that? We still recommend the steps here to generate a certificate.
Thanks for your replay. Indeed, I have used the files from the post from Steve Flowers. But there I can't find how to add today's date into the file and make the size of the output of learnername bigger.
The link you send looks different from the post from Steve Flowers. In my articulate output I didn't have a report.file. (But I don't have a quiz or something like that in my articulate project so maybe that's why there is no report.file)?
I've attached a file that gets the system date using Javascript. I use this when creating my certificates within Storyline 360. Maybe you can use a similar approach to run with your HTML certificate.

So I'm guessing that’s the latest.
