Widget Template References for Question Editor Customization & Navigation

Learnosity has a large number of "templates" which are variants of an underlying question or feature type. For example, Multiple Choice (MCQ) has several templates available including:

  • Standard,
  • Multiple responses,
  • True/false, and
  • Block layout.

It is possible to override or remove a default template via the Question Editor API initialization options, however, doing so via the templates' name is not a predictable identifier for individual templates.

To get around this issue, we added UUID references for each of the templates. These references must be specified when using the navigate method of the Author API or the setWidget method of the Question Editor API, so that authors see the correct template.

This article provides a list of template references that you can use with the Author API navigate method to open a widget with a specified template.

Template modes

There are 3 different modes of templates:

Advanced templates contain all input fields that are available for every question type, while the simple templates contain a subset and are more suited to users who don't require every authoring option, such as teachers.

The advanced templates are available by default, to access the simple templates you need to specify that mode via configuration options (ui.layout.mode).

Simple feature templates are used to customize the default field values in the edit panel of the simple feature modal. The simple feature modal can be accessed by clicking the simple feature icon in the CKEditor rich text editor toolbar. To customize simple feature templates you must define them in the initialization options(simple_feature_templates).
