Internet explorer support for clutch?

[Jordan]

Transmission will eventually have a Windows client, so IE support isn't such a bad idea. All that needs to happen is that a web developer needs to do it...

I would like Web UI support for viewing my torrents on my work computer. Isn't that the point of the Web UI? To view your torrents on a machine other than your own?

Are you not listening?

I'd be happy for Clutch to support IE. I don't think it would be all that hard to do. However, a web developer is going to need to dig into the code and make the changes needed for IE support, and so far nobody's volunteered to to that. Currently there's only one web developer on the Transmission team, and his free time is almost nonexistent.

If someone submits a clean patch for this, it will very likely be used.

Nononono, I completely agree with you, I was replying to kidmidnight's comment. Sorry if I came off as impatient and ignorant.

Ah, okay, excuse me then.

I think I was using 1.34 (nightly) at the time. I will do some poking around again after I get my 1.41b3 running (getting 401 unauthorized right now)

[j5osx]

Well I am getting some real code that I can look at now, so I will work on getting the WebUI working in IE.

Right now I am rocking IE6 on my Windows XP Parallels install but I can move back to IE7 ... what version of IE are people here locked into, generally?

[zack13532]

I think you should focus on IE6, but IE7 is still pretty important. Most enterprise computers are locked with IE6 installed.

[j5osx]

Here's a patch to bring 1.41b3 into basic compatibility with IE6...

In transmission.js, where you find if ($.browser.msie) { ... }, replace with:

Code: Select all

		// IE specific fixes here
		if ($.browser.msie) {
			try {
			  document.execCommand("BackgroundImageCache", false, true);
			} catch(err) {}
			$('head').append('<link media="screen" href="./stylesheets/common.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />');
			switch ($.browser.version) {
				case "6.0":
					$('head').append('<link media="screen" href="./stylesheets/ie6.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />');
					break;				
			}
			$('.dialog_container').css('height',$(window).height()+'px');
		}

also in transmission.js, replace one occurrence (in function showFilter) of:

Code: Select all

parseInt($('#torrent_container').css('top'))

with:

Code: Select all

parseInt($('#torrent_container').position().top)

Add the following text as the css file "ie6.css" under stylesheets:

Code: Select all

div.torrent_global_menu ul li {
	width: 60px;
}
div#torrent_filter_bar ul li {
	width: 100px;
}
div.torrent_footer {
	position: static;
}
div#torrent_container {
	position: static;
	top: 97px;
}
div#torrent_inspector {
	position: absolute;
}

The bugs I have seen that have not been addressed are:

• Preferences menu displays incorrectly (doubled menus, width wrong)
  Inspector position is off (not below the filter, shows above torrent list)
  "Footer" bar with preferences menu is not in a "fixed" position and torrent list
  Torrent list uses browser scrolling, not DIV scrolling
  PNG transparency is not addressed
  Torrent list width is off (box model problems)
  Download/upload speed arrows repeating vertically (slightly visible)

I believe this should be usable for remote control as given. If someone can give me the proper procedure for submitting this as a patch, I would be happy to do so.

Cheers!

j5osx: It's preferred to use trac to submit a patch. Also, you could talk to duncanbeevers on the [url=irc://irc.freenode.net/transmission]irc[/url].

[j5osx]

The trac does not appear to be configured correctly to allow me to submit a new ticket.

[Waldorf]

You need to login/register first.

[j5osx]

I am a little sick (stuffy head) and somehow I missed the giant "Login" and "Register" links. I swear I was looking for something of that sort

[Waldorf]

Well, It probably wasn't your fault after all, there was a moment that day that the login/register liks/pages were gone.

Indeed IE is the most used Browser over the whole Wide World.


at least IE 7 and IE 8 Support must be made for this program.

I need One browser on my PC not 2 or 3.

Thanks, please add IE support.

Excuse me, you are on the wrong forum. Try googling for "bugreport" and "Internet Explorer".

Ps: You need one brower, not two or three? Still want the answer?
