Hi Bjoern, Yes I'm aware of the macros but I've never managed to get them to work ;-(
What I'd like is something like a php include tag to pull the contents of a whole file into another file so I'm not repeating myself eg. for the database lists in the megablast, blastn, and tblastn wrappers. Those select fields are nice, and in "ordinary" html and JQuery you can do grouping but as far as I can tell it's not possible with Galaxy/Cheetah XML templating - though we are a few versions behind so may have overlooked recent updates. Thanx for your suggestions, --Russell -----Original Message----- From: galaxy-dev-boun...@lists.bx.psu.edu [mailto:galaxy-dev-boun...@lists.bx.psu.edu] On Behalf Of Björn Grüning Sent: Tuesday, 1 April 2014 10:19 a.m. To: galaxy-dev@lists.bx.psu.edu Subject: Re: [galaxy-dev] Managing large database lists in tool wrappers? Hi Russell, would something like a http://ivaynberg.github.io/select2/ field work for you? What do you mean with <include> tags? Are you aware of Galaxy macros? https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Tools/ToolConfigSyntax#Direct_XML_Macros Cheers, Bjoern Am 31.03.2014 22:58, schrieb Smithies, Russell: > Does anyone have a workable solution to managing and displaying large lists > in tool wrappers? > eg. a database list containing hundreds of enteries in the blast+ tool?
