author_view doesn't display. How to set a different view for the studio?

[Christian Thomas]

Hello,

I am developing an XBlock. The student_view works so far, but I want a different one for the studio.

As far as I understand, the author_view should be used if available. But it doesn't. I created a little test code. In the studio it just prints "Student view".

Here is my code:

from xblock.core import XBlock

from xblock.fragment import Fragment

class InlineToolboxXBlock(XBlock):

    def student_view(self, context=None):

        return Fragment(u"Student View")

    def studio_view(self, context=None):

        return Fragment(u"Studio View")

    def author_view(self, context=None):

        return Fragment(u"Author View")

Any ideas what I am missing here?

Best regards,

Christian

Hi Christian,

That's a common hurdle, something that really should be fixed..

But until then, you also need to set this on your class:

# Without this flag, studio will use student_view on newly-added blocks :/

has_author_view = True
