Hi Peter, Alex, Thanks for the tips, the stdout is very useful indeed for a small amount of information. However I want to display a large HTML report with some pictures/plots that will help the user assess the execution of the tool. A hidden output will also not work as I want the XML output item to be the visible one in the history. In the display application context I only get the datasetid of the history item that triggered it (afaik). Below a small impression of part of the report: [cid:image001.jpg@01CD18A0.F198CF50] Regards, Pieter. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Cock [mailto:p.j.a.cock@googlemail.com] Sent: maandag 2 april 2012 15:38 To: Lukasse, Pieter Cc: Greg Von Kuster (greg@bx.psu.edu); galaxy-dev@lists.bx.psu.edu Subject: Re: [galaxy-dev] Local display application questions On Mon, Apr 2, 2012 at 2:00 PM, Lukasse, Pieter <pieter.lukasse@wur.nl<mailto:pieter.lukasse@wur.nl>> wrote:
Hi Greg,
I made a tool for Galaxy which produces a normal XML output file and
next to that it also produces a HTML report with some quick summarized
details for the user.
I could solve this by using 2 output files, but ...
That is the normal way to do this in Galaxy, isn't it? You can also use stdout for a small amount of plain text summary output - shown in the history as the 'info' text - perhaps that would be enough instead? Peter
