Hello Dan,
The easiest way to go about this, since you said that none of your filters are mutually exclusive, is to use the "select" datatype. I don't think you even need the conditional tags. Galaxy says that you need <when> tag sets when you use conditionals, but this is not true, as I have similar code as I have written below. Use type="select" in your parameter. This gives you a button that can have a multitude of options, but most of mine are simply used like booleans. Something like this: ...
This is extremely helpful! Thanks. I find the select box yes/no idiom a bit awkward. I'd prefer a checkbox (just a single one, not one each for "yes" and "no") but doing a select box is ok too, I can live with that.
Using a boolean checkbox should work - although early on it wasn't possible thus many older tools use a select instead: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/393/cant-use-checkbox-bool...
I can do a checkbox like this: <param name="cbtest" type="boolean" label="checkbox" help="some help"/> But I want to have a checkbox that triggers some other params to appear when it is checked (the way I have successfully done it with a select). I haven't been able to figure that out. If I do this: <conditional name="thirdConditional"> <param name="param2" type="boolean" value="yes" label="Filter 3" help="helpful tips" /> <when value="yes"> <param name="IntegerBox3" type="integer" value="1" min="0" max="5" label="A parameter to filter 3" help="helpful text" /> </when> <when value="no" /> </conditional> ...nothing happens when I click the checkbox. I also tried using a select with multiple="true" and display="checkbox", but Galaxy doesn't like that because I provide only one option ("yes"). If you could tell me how to cause params to appear/disappear by checking a checkbox that would be great! Thanks, Dan
Peter
