Hi everybody,

i want to know if it is possible to use the <filter> tag for output from type="select" multiple ? If yes, how I can do ?

<inputs>

<param name="output_select" type="select" label="Output files format  (at least one box selected obligatory" multiple="true" display="checkboxes" help="FASTA">
      <option value="fa">FASTA</option>
      <option value="gff">GFF</option>
      <option value="csv">CSV</option>
      <option value="html">HTML</option>
      <option value="yml">YML</option>
    </param>

</inputs>

<outputs>
    <data format="log" name="outputLog" label="logMirkwood"/>
    <data format="tar" name="tarResults" label="tarFile"/>                                                                                                                                                   
    <data format="fasta" name="fasta_out" label="output_fasta">
      <filter>????</filter>
    </data>
    <data format="gff" name="gff_out" label="output_gff">
      <filter>???</filter>
    </data>
  </outputs>

When the user select a file type, it become a output.

I have a other question, How to force the user to select a check ?

Thank you,

Alan

Hi Alan

to get the correct format, try the following:

<data name="output" format="fasta">
      <change_format>
               <when input="output_select" value="gff" format="gff"/>
               <when input="output_select" value="csv" format="csv"/>
               <when input="output_select" value="html" format="html"/>
               <when input="output_select" value="yml" format="yml"/>
      </change_format>
</data>

and wrt your second question: use "radio buttons" (i.e.: display="radio"). Again, you will find examples on the wiki.

Hope this helps,

Hans-Rudolf

Hi Hans, thank you for your response, but the user can to select several responses. And your solution doesn't work for me. And for the radio button is not the good solution because, the user must to choose at least one output.

Have you got a other solutions maybe for me ?

Hi Alan

Using 'display="checkboxes"', you can add 'selected="true"' to one of the options (e.g.: <option value="fa" selected="true">FASTA</option> ). This way, you have at least one selected, and the user can add more options and keep or remove the pre-selected one.

Hi Hans,

thank you for your help. I can use the filter on the checkbox ? For exemple, <filter output_select["fa"] is true</filter> or <filter output_select["fa"] == "true"</filter> or maybe other things. Because, I tried many ways but anyone work. The tool gives me all outputs but I want just its selected.

Have you got a idea ?

Thank you again

generating a variable number of output files is tricky, but in your case this page should help you:
