Change Style of Test
Page Overview
[Hide]1 Initial Problem
- I cannot apply the Content-Style I defined in the Administration to a test.
- I cannot change between stlyes.
2 Conceptual Summary
I would like to be able to apply a style to a test very much in the fashion I can do it for glossaries and wikis and learning modules.
3 User Interface Modifications
3.1 List of Affected Views
- The editing part does exist in Administration > Layout > Contentstyles > TITLE OF STYLE > Tab "Style Classes" > Subtab "Question" and does not need to be changed.
- The selection part does not exist in the test and should be exactly done as in the glossary. It should be a new sub-tab "Style" of the Settings-tab in the Test.
3.2 User Interface Details
UI Element = Form
- Headline = Test Style
- Drop Down for selecting one of the styles as defined in Content-Styles in Administration = Current Style
- Labels in Drop Down come from Content-Styles in Administration
3.3 New User Interface Concepts
This is an all-standard Form. Please reuse from other stlye-setting components like glossary etc.

Kunkel, Matthias [mkunkel], Dec 02, 2016: A similar request has already been made by Yvonne Seiler in 2014, see below. I have deleted that page so this page is the one and only for this request - which I fully support!

There is a need for different styles in tests. Each test can have the standard content style of the system or you can create your own style. F.e. like in learning modules (Settings > Layout).
Heyser, Björn [bheyser], 16 Aug 2017: As I needed to answer the question why this feature seems to be supported partly but not in total, i can strongly agree with a full support for this feature. There is indeed a serious need for its functionality.
As a note for myself, i leave a just found code line from my components main command execution method, that should explain the confusing behaviour of the test layout to consider the styles partly.

(investigations on this later, i just needed to document for the moment)
