Tool config for accordian-like subpanels?
I have a single tool with several different major modes. Each mode has its own uniques group of options that can be managed separately. Rathan than make five different tools, I would like to put it together and simply have the user interface show just the options for the selected mode. People do this in web pages sometimes using Jquery "Accordian" tabs. Is there any support to have something like Jquery accordion grouping of options? see that the drill down , but it is only used for setting binary options. Thanks,Ted
Hi Ted, this would fit well as another feature for the new section grouping construct I'm going to implement one of these days. There is a trello car if you want to add a comment, I'll update the spec. -- jt (composed on my phone) On Mar 13, 2013, at 3:01 PM, Ted Goldstein <ted@soe.ucsc.edu> wrote:

Hi Ted Well, I am not familiar with "accordian-like subpanel", but we work a lot with the '<conditional> tag set', see: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Tools/Tool%20Config%20Syntax#A.3Cconditional... to generate different input masks depending on a first choice.

Hi Hans, Good suggestion and will work for the moment. The "accordion effect" is very intuitive in that the user gets to see one panel shrink and another expand. Thus it is more obvious that these are alternatives. One commonly used HTML framework for this is http://jqueryui.com/accordion/ Though of course there are many implementations.
