Dear all,

I'm still stuck with the problem to dynamically generate an option list
extracted from a user-selectable input dataset. Does anybody have
experience here, or is this not possible at all?

Have a nice weekend,
Holger

Dear all,

I have a working module which generates wig files for genomic annotation

from a single column of a bigger input data matrix (Input A). In the

current state, the user has to input the column name (Input B) from

which to calculate the values in the wig file.

Now I'd like to modify the xml in such a way, that depending on the

input dataset (Input A) a dynamic list for Input B is generated.

I found Hans-Rudolf Hotz' hints from some time ago on this list and

thought that the following would be a good start:

<param name   = "InputB"

      label  = "InputBName"

      format = "data"

      type   = "select"

      help   = "Use tickboxes to select model"

      display = "radio"

      dynamic_options = "getInputBOptions($InputA)" />

<code file="getInputBOptionsFromInputA.py">

getInputBOptionsFromInputA.py contains a single function

def getInputBOptions($InputA):

   ## parse Input A

   ## create list InputBOptions

   return(InputBOptions)

Using this approach I get an invalid syntax message when trying to even

open the module - in any case I have the feeling that something is still

missing here.

Did anybody solve a similar problem already and could give me a hint on

how to solve that?

Cheers,

Holger
