Initialization Option Question Editor API

template_defaults

This config option allows you to selectively show or hide the "default" Learnosity templates in the tile view (E.g. "Multiple choice - multiple response", "True or false").

How the tile view is affected depends on the values set for several other initialization options, primarily question_type_templates - see below for this behavior.

  • If this option is set to true and question_type_templates and question_type_groups are not set (I.e. the default values for each), the default templates will be shown, in their default group.
  • If this option is set to true and question_type_templates and/or question_type_groups are set, these options will be appended to the defaults.
  • If this option is set to false and question_type_templates is not set, only the raw question types will be shown (Same as the questions seen in advanced_group when this init option is set.)
  • If this option is set to false and question_type_templates is set, the custom questions will be be shown along with the raw instances of the other question types.
  • If this option is set to false, an image attribute must be set in each template defined in question_type_templates for display in the tile view.

For a comprehensive overview of tile view customization, including behavior when customizing the group defaults (via group_defaults and question_type_groups) please see the help article Customizing the Tile View With Author API
