GTN Header - Adding a Answer Key Histories drop-down menu #4881

Open nomadscientist opened 1 month ago

nomadscientist commented 1 month ago

This is the first attempt to get the conversation started

I'm wondering if it would be ideal to have a landing page, like with the workflows, where we stipulate how to import a history, compare, and drag datasets between histories so they can help themselves if they get stuck.

Fixes https://github.com/galaxyproject/training-material/issues/4594

I think the answer key history list should be a drop-down menu, and then the final option (or first option, depending) should ALWAYS be the history_index.md that I started, labelled "Using history answer keys" as the button. So if they understand, they can just click the history and it imports it, or if they don't, they can select 'using history answer keys' to learn

I put an 'input histories' there, but actually, that's probably not necessary (although I could absolutely see a future wherein the 'Get data' sections automatically pull from the input histories just like they pull from Zenodo, but it's not strictly needed atm).

I think mentally I was thinking it would be valuable to quickly see which tutorials have input histories and which don't, so that we could make the input histories and keep everything up to date, but that probably goes with the whole workflow / history / automation plan and isn't necessary NOW, so happy for it to be binned.

I think this is a good interim plan. We can make something like this work

Ahk, bad me, I've put this in two places https://github.com/galaxyproject/training-material/issues/4594 Well when we make this work then we can resolve that issue!

no this is fine, perfect even. you filed an issue to see if the implementation was reasonable/desired, we agreed, and now you've opened a PR to implement this (which we will get around to eventually i promise). I've tagged this PR as "Fixes #4594" which will ensure that when this is merged the associated issue is auto-closed.

that's a great workflow! Especially for feature requests where you want feedback on if it's possible or so.
