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 $userEmail .
Now, we would like to use the 'user' information in order to create
different options in the interface for the tool, eg:
<inputs>
<param name="input" type="select" label="available files"
display="radio"
dynamic_options="ds_Options()"/>
</inputs>
<outputs>
<data format="fasta" name="output"/>
</outputs>
<code file="more_code.py" />
where "ds_Options()" is defined in the extra python code "more_code.py"
I can pass a value to "ds_Options()" which we get as an example from a first
page of the interface, eg:
<inputs>
<param name="dir" type="select" display="radio">
<option value="foo">FOO</option>
<option value="bar">BAR</option>
</param>
</page>
<param name="input" type="select" label="available files"
display="radio"
dynamic_options="ds_Options(dir)"/>
</page>
</inputs>
<outputs>
<data format="fasta" name="output"/>
</outputs>
<code file="more_code.py" />
...but how do I pass just the 'user' information to the function?
As I can use '$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
