Rewrite of the Transmission Web Client with jQuery, Sammy and Mustache

kettu

Port of http://github.com/kjg/derailleur and the original Transmission Web Client using jquery, sammy.js and mustache.js.

Thanks

• kriesse for the elegant design.
• kjg for all the work on the transmission web client and help.
• lenalena for introducing proper jspec testing to this project.
• kastigar for adding predefined locations.
• viveksjain and Shadow6363 for keyboard shortcuts and how numbers are displayed.

Installation

You can use kettu instead of the original web client to remotely administrate your transmission application.

Using Environment Variables

If you're just trying kettu out, it is recommended to set the TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME environment variable to the root path of this web client. Then you just need to open the location to the transmission web server (e.g. localhost:9091) and it will work.

Manual Installation

Move the kettu files in the right location, and the next time you start Transmission, it will use kettu. If you're using the daemon, you can simply send it a SIGHUB.

Linux

Without overwriting the default Web Interface, you can drop the kettu files into: ~/.local/share/transmission/web/.

On Mac OS X

In the pre-v2.0 nightlies on the mac, you can simply drop kettu at ~/Library/Application Support/Transmission/web/. In more current versions the web interface is located at /Applications/Transmission.app/Contents/Resources/web/ and would need to be replaced there.

Configuration

kettu supports the easy selection of a predefined location to download your torrents to. Put locations into the config/location.js configuration file. See config/locations.js.example for an example.

Shortcuts

You can drag to select multiple torrents. kettu also has a few hotkeys:

• Cmd/Ctrl+A - select all
• Cmd/Ctrl+Backspace - delete the selected torrents
• Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+Backspace - delete finished torrents. A torrent is defined as finished if it has finished downloading and is paused.

kettu's Issues

Remember Filter and Sort settings across sessions

Title says it all

Update Status Codes and Support for Queues

I am running the transmission-daemon build 12613 and all my torrents in seeding, paused and queued mode are reported as "Error" (Which should be reported as "Queued" or "Seeding".

Preliminary queueing support has just been added into transmission build 12607. Please add options to change queue preferences and queue sequence in UI.

Turtle Button doesn't work

Seems to reload and open the preference pane

Show eta for seeding if stop ratio is set

check seeding progress bar

favicon and web clip

There should be a favicon and a web clip (for iphone, etc). These can both be found in the Clutch web ui (feel free to use those).

errors in list view should be on next line so as not to wrap the pause/play button

Scrolling Torrents

Maybe use: http://devgrow.com/slidernav/

add date.js to make all the date crap readable

Searchbox behaves incorrectly

• placeholder does not work in firefox
• x in search field does not reset table

support smaller window

When the window is made smaller, there appears to be enough space to fit everything if it resized, but it does not.

not clear which filter is selected

There needs to be some visual cue of which filter is selected. A hover effect of the sort menu would also help indicate that it's selectable.

Design context menu

filter field in inspector looks slightly off in Safari

It looks like the custom styling doesn't look perfect in Safari. http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/8945/filter.png

Icons

Missing Icons and turtle icon

use the minified versions of vendor files

For those that make it available, the minified version of third-party files saves space. No reason not to save as much space as possible if this is going to be built-into the apps. I know that this is at least available for jquery, and is less than half the size.

reformat torrent trackers view

Preferences behaving abnormally

On changing any preference and clicking on a new sub-tab, the url redirects/refreshes to http://localhost:9091/transmission/web//settings#/settings causing the link to break and the changed settings to be un-updated. The redirection should be '/web/#/settings'. Please rectify.
And btw, a great webui, far better than the default one.

Make filter and sort links appear at the same time

Maybe 2 dropdowns side by side, one for filtering and one for sorting.

checkboxes should be on/off switches

inspect multiple transfers at once

The inspector should show relevant inspector info for multiple transfers. Not all functionality needs to be retained, but it should show some info. Check out Clutch's behavior with this.

preferences should be available in mobile ui

selection gets deselected after a few seconds

torrent buttons in mobile ui should be more easily accessible

Speed Limit Schedule (improvement)

Hi,

I use the schedule to automatic activate/deactivate of speed limit, and often I change it according as needed to save bandwidth, so I need to keep using transmission-web.
Could you implement this feature on kattu ?

Kettu is nice application!
Thanks for you effort.

(de)select all should not apply to 100% files nor single files

It appears that even though the checks are unselectable in these cases, the select all and deselect all still are clickable and apply to all.

turtle icon needs click acknowledgent

when you click the icon, there is no feedback. it stays dark to show its activated, but its already dark from the mouseover.

css rule makes file input field look ugly

Rule here https://github.com/endor/kettu/blob/master/css/transmission.css#L584 breakes native file input field look. Also, this may apply to iphone.css

Default look: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/490384/tmp/screenshot1.png
How it should look (rule disabled): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/490384/tmp/screenshot2.png

File List in facebox should be scrollable

The file list that appears when adding a torrent should be scrollable for long file lists.

mark item as active (Inspector/Add Torrent/...)

find a better way to do parseRequestFromPutParams

Adding multiple torrents (small ui/functionality bug)

When adding multiple torrents, you must click off of the Add Torrent tab between each one (or select something else) otherwise the tab stays depressed not allowing you to click. Small but somewhat annoying bug :)

One-Click to open/close the torrent inspector

Why else would you select something? Just a though...

set refresh rate

Buttons appear incorrectly in Safari

The latest build (8e2a30e) shows the two buttons strangely in Safari 4.0.5. http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/5034/weirdbuttons.png

sort by undefined

add blocklist preferences

use camel case everywhere instead of underscore

set priority on files (and torrents)

context menu issues

There is no obvious way to close the context menu when opened (short of choosing one of the options). Also, right-clicking on a row should select that row when showing the context menu.

needs to work on the iphone

mark complete folders for download

Multi-User Interface

Hi. I wondered if anybody else is interested in this too.

Advantages:
_ Global speed limit for several users. (Only "admin transmission users" would be authorized to change this setting.)
_ Would take less CPU than to have a transmission-daemon running for each user (on a NAS this would make a huge difference).

Other advantages (also possible with the multiple transmission-daemons "solution"):
_ Each user has its own download folder.
_ You won't be confused by other users' torrents.
_ Other users can't delete your torrents.

One other idea I've been thinking about is the possibility to see someone else's torrent(s), only if the owner has given the permission to do so. To toggle a "New torrents hidden to others" setting on/off could be an option, and manually for individual torrents after they've been added. Users that have something to "offer" would be visible in a list. However, this is not the important part of why I would love the multi-user interface to be implemented, but quite a useful feature I think it would be.

info window links should be aligned right and other links (turtle, compact) left

seeding transfer doesn't need to show download speed

List should be scrollable while info stays on top

When opening a torrent info the info should stay on top (visible) even when scrolling down the torrent list.

Changing panes should not hide them

click statistics, then prefs -> it should change to prefs instead of hiding

nicer labels for scheduling

TestApp logs recurring requests

TestApp should not log recurring requests, because they overwrite the last request that's tested for in features. (e.g. settings.feature)

Verification feature

Maybe I'm just blind, but I can't seem to find any verify button in this Web UI. If there IS one, could someone please point out where it is? If verification isn't possible yet, could you please consider providing this feature as well in this fine Web UI? I'd really appreciate that and I'm sure a lot of other users would too.
