Plugin: Pause ui refresh and force refresh

[das329717]

Just made an plugin, mostly for just trying it out but thought I'd share it if someone else is interested. It's a plugin that allows you to pause the refresh timer for the gui and it also adds an button to refresh the gui. In case you want the rutorrent page to be up but you don't need it to update.

Just used the first icons i found so they may not be perfect but they'll do the trick for now. I might update it there is some interest in the plugin.

hope someone will find it useful

Attached the file, just extract it to the plugin folder

http://code.google.com/p/rutorrent-pausewebui/

Current version: 1.0
* Pauses the ui when the rutorrent tab is inactive and resumes when the tab is activated again
* Buttons to pause/resume the webui
* Force refresh of the webui
* Multiple language support

Will this be added to the next svn revision?

 

[somus1735]

no idea, but you can add it manually regardless.

Nice to se that some people like it, I've made som improvements and a bugfix
It now also stops updating when the ruTorrent tab isn't active and updates the ui when you activate the tab again.

so you're saying it works like this:


I load up rutorrent in a tab in chrome and i'm using it, checking torrents, adding torrents and what not, then i switch to another tab and start doing stuff, leaving the rutorrent tab along.

It pauses, then several minuts/hours i come back and highlight the rutorrent tab again, and it starts refreshing?


If so that's amazing and totally kickass

 

[das329717]

Thats exactly what it is doing

 

[jith45]

that's excellent man.

[dsouvik215]

Very great plugin, but can you make it support multilanguage?

I'm glad to hear you all like it!
Now language support is included. Give me an lang file and i will add it.

if you want i'm sure we can find you svn hosting via googlecode or on another site

Sure, should I put up my own or on rutorrents svn?

I think, you must create your own project on google code. In this case you will have all possibilities for it support.

 

[dsouvik215]

If you create your own google code i will update the current rutorrent wiki to point to it.

Right now i have it pointing to this forum post:

http://code.google.com/p/rutorrent/wiki/PluginPause

but if you check what i've done for the other 3rd party plugins.....


for example http://code.google.com/p/rutorrent/wiki/PluginAutodlirssi and http://code.google.com/p/rutorrent/wiki/PluginTaddLabel


anyways, it's up to you.

Hi, here language file :
Code:
theUILang.pausewebuiPause = "Désactiver la mise à jour de l'UI..";
theUILang.pausewebuiRefresh = "Raflaîchir l'UI..";
theUILang.pausewebuiRefresh = "Activer la mise à jour de l'UI..";

thePlugins.get("pausewebui").langLoaded();Remember to use UTF-8 to make special caracter work!

 

[jith45]

The fr lang file is now included.
I've made a google code project now

This plugin is fantastic but i do see one potential issue...

I think you should change the "pause/play" buttons. It may be confusing to people that it is the exact same icon as the "pause torrent" icon.

Other than this, it is fantastic. I updated wiki to include your site and also added some usage instructions. If you wish to check it for correctness i would be grateful
