Hi Laure,

I don't think there is any easy to use mechanism for this in Galaxy.
Unfortunately Galaxy loads all the *.loc files at startup and treats
them as global values available to all users equally.

I can't find the email thread, but I recall someone previously trying
to do something with a single large example.loc file for all users
but with an extra column for filtering by account name. I forget if
they got these changes to work or not.

Assuming you only have a few separate versions of the example.loc
file, you could create copies of the BLAST wrapper XML file which
use the specific *.loc file - and then restrict the tool by user?

In either case at a minimum you would have to maintain local
changes to the BLAST wrappers (and potentially changes to
Galaxy itself), which is not a good situation.

Hello Galaxy users,

I try to figure out how I can display a select list into a galaxy tool according to the connected user.

I have several .loc files containing the paths for custom blast databases I have created for several users (user1.loc, user2.loc, and so on). I would like the blast tool to display the specific databases for the connected user (user1 or user2).

Any idea on how to proceed ?
Regards,
Laure
