Keep track of when an item was last active

[simur612]

rtorrent Community Wiki
The above article describes how to add a timestamp to torrents showing last activity.

I've added the required code in .rtorrent.rc and restarted rtorrent, but I don't see this extra field in rutorrent.
The question is how to display this new value in rutorrent?

I've managed to edit the code to add the new field to the rutorrent webui, but how to create and call this new function last active in the new column?

Do I need an id: "last_active"?

www/rutorrent/js/webui.js
Code:
{ text: theUILang.last_active, width: "100px", id: "created", type: TYPE_NUMBER }
www/rutorrent/lang/en.js
Code:
last_active : "Last Active",

After some poking around I can see some of the other fields are called from rtorrent.js
eg. in /rutorrent/js/webui.js
Code:
{ text: theUILang.Remaining, width: "90px", id: "remaining", type: TYPE_NUMBER }is called from rtorrent.js as:
Code:
torrent.remaining = this.getValue(values,20);

So after some playing around I managed to call the torrent comments into my new Last Active field by editing rutorrent/js/webui.js like this just to test:
Code:
{ text: theUILang.last_active, width: "100px", id: "comment", type: TYPE_STRING}
Soooo....

The new quesion is:
Is there a "value" so I can add torrent.last_active = this.getValue(values,??) to rtorrent.js which will call the new last_active code added to rtorrent.rc or are these values only a set of defualt values that are added when rtorrent is compiled?

I feel close to the solution, but am probably still very far away!

1) I can't understand, for which reason you need such strange thing - 'last activity'. You already have ratio/per day/per week/per month for each torrent. And all traffic statistic (per day, month, year) for each torrent (plugin trafic).
2) If you want to add a new field to torrent's table, don't touch the file torrent.js. See plugin 'seedingtime' as example. Or plugin 'trafic'. Or plugin 'ratio' - all of its contain code of addition of new column.

Then I can't understand why your community wiki has an article showing how to enable last_activity.
Someone else must be using it for rtorrent otherwise why that article?

Code:
# SCHEDULE: Set "last_active" custom field for items that have peers
system.method.insert = d.last_active, simple|value, "if=$d.peers_connected=,$system.time=,$d.custom=last_active"
schedule = update_last_active,24,42,"d.multicall=started,\"branch=$d.peers_connected=,\\\"d.custom.set=last_active,$cat=$system.time=\\\"\""
system.method.insert = d.print_last_active, simple, "print=\"$cat={$convert.date=$d.last_active=, \\\" \\\", $convert.time=$d.last_active=}\""

I will look at the plugin code, thanks for that, but I'm not sure it will show me how to call this new last_activity value?

My??? I'm not an owner or member of this community. This is a *rtorrent* community, not *ruTorrent*.

I will look at the plugin code, thanks for that, but I'm not sure it will show me how to call this new last_activity value?

It will show to you how to add a new column to the torrents list of the ruTorrent UI

rutorrent, not rtorrent. maybe my bad for the OP.

OK, so lets say I now have a new column in rutorrent using the plugin code.
How do I put this last_active value into the column?

By hands. Check plugins code.

 

[randac56]

By hands.
Is that russian for fuck off and do it yourself?


Had a look at the seedtime plugin and I guess I need to try and hack that.

 

[peshua19]

Ok, so looking at init.js I think I can see the function that adds the timestamp for seedingtime.

Code:
for(var i in arr)
{
var s = table.getIdByCol(i);
if(s=="seedingtime")
arr = arr ? theConverter.time(new Date().getTime()/1000-(iv(arr)+theWebUI.deltaTime/1000),true) : "";
else
if(s=="addtime")
arr = arr ? theConverter.date(iv(arr)+theWebUI.deltaTime/1000) : "";
}
I think I can adjust most of the other code to suit, but it's the actual code of grabbing the last_active data from rtorrent that I can't work out.
Your code grabs the system time when a torrent is added, completed or rehashed.
This of course is nothing like grabbing a value from rtorrent, so I'm stuck.

 

[lisas4567]

Is this last_active column not something that could be added to the seedingtime plugin?
It seems the logical place to add this additional variable.

Actually, if i am correct, this almost exactly the behavior that you are looking for. Looking at the seedingtime plugin, the file init.php is used to set custom fields in "rtorrent" which are then called in the file init.js. You can also see more examples of this by looking at init.php of other plugins.

 

[randac56]

Fair enough. I've already checked other plugins and can grasp the basic concept, but I still don't fully understand the rtorrent and rutorrent calls enough to adapt them to suit.
Looks like I need to learn.
