Re: [galaxy-dev] using the 'user' information in the the "tool config file"

Hi By accident, my colleague found out, that we can use the $userEmail variable in the 'command' tag of the "tool config file", eg: <command interpreter="perl">script.pl $input $userEmail $output </ command> Access to the 'user' information ('Anonymous' or the user's e-mail address if logged in) is very handy, as it gives the potential to execute the script differently depending on the value of $userEmail . Now, we would like to use the 'user' information in order to create different options in the interface for the tool, eg: <inputs> <param name="input" type="select" label="available files" display="radio" dynamic_options="ds_Options()"/> </inputs> <outputs> <data format="fasta" name="output"/> </outputs> <code file="more_code.py" /> where "ds_Options()" is defined in the extra python code "more_code.py" I can pass a value to "ds_Options()" which we get as an example from a first page of the interface, eg: <inputs> <page> <param name="dir" type="select" display="radio"> <option value="foo">FOO</option> <option value="bar">BAR</option> </param> </page> <page> <param name="input" type="select" label="available files" display="radio" dynamic_options="ds_Options(dir)"/> </page> </inputs> <outputs> <data format="fasta" name="output"/> </outputs> <code file="more_code.py" /> ...but how do I pass just the 'user' information to the function? As I can use '$userEmail' in the 'command' tag, I tried (with my limited understanding of galaxy and python) the obvious: dynamic_options="ds_Options(userEmail)" but I get NameError: name 'userEmail' is not defined Is there any way to pass the 'user' information? Alternatively, is there a direct way to get access to the 'user' information within the function? Thank you very much for your help Hans _______________________________________________ galaxy-dev mailing list galaxy-dev(a)lists.bx.psu.edu http://lists.bx.psu.edu/listinfo/galaxy-dev
