Hello,
I’m coming to you because I have a problem with a galaxy tool I’m making. Indeed, I have to make a dynamic checkbox selection tool where each checkbox is the name of a subfolder in a folder. And when I select one of the subfolders, it has to do the same with each subfolders in the subfolder. Am I being clear?
I hope you can help me!
Thanks a lot
Hi
Since the directory structure is not dynamic, I would start with something like this:

Hi,
Your method is not very adapted for me. While the tool is running, the directory structure is fixed. Apart from that, we should be able to add or delete directories. So I need the checkboxes creation to be dynamic. Am I being clear?
Thanks
sorry, I misunderstood you
Maybe this is a solution for you: http://tinyurl.com/6uom4uo (it is a silimar question from galaxy-dev)

No problem. It's my fault too, i'm not clear.
Thanks for your answer! But i've got an error : "uncaught exception in exposed API method". I'm pretty sure that the problem is at this line : <code file="dynamic_list.py" />
Have you an idea ?
Thanks again
at what stage (i.e. "executing the tool", "looking at the GUI and selecting folders", "restarting Galaxy", etc) do you get that message?
Hi,
I have the error when i want to open the tool (MyTools).
...but you get the GUI? and is the drop down poulated with folder names?
Sorry, i was not clear. When i open the tool, i've got a blank page with the error. I've got no interface, no selection, nothing..
looks like you have to go step by step, disecting the xml file and/or the python code.
do you get the GUI if you comment out the variable with the dynamic drop down in the xml file?
does it work, if the python code just returns a fixed value, eg:
foo = [("A","A",False)]
return foo
Hi
There are ways to do that, but it all depends on your set-up. Are those subfolders and their subfolders fixed or dynamic? How often do they change?
Also, what have you tried so far? how does your tool xml look like at the moment?
Regards, Hans-Rudolf
Hi, Thanks for your answer. The subfolders are not going to change often, in any case, not during the process.
I tried to do it with a .loc file which i fill in (with a python script) at the startup of the page.But the python script can only be executed when the button is pressed...
I saw on the internet that i must use cheetah code but i don't know how I can do that and if it's a correct way to do that.
Can you explain to me your ideas ?
Regards
