Request: Mobile Safari "Add URL" button

Post by tallerthenyou »

I love Transmission and the Transmission web interface, but now that the iPhone has copy and paste it'd be really handy if the special iPhone page had an "Add URL" button or something to that effect. It's simple to copy URLs from links in 3.0, and the ability to paste them into the web interface to begin a new torrent would be awesome.

I echo that. An "Add URL" button is sorely missing now....

It's in the regular Safari interface. I imagine implementing it in Mobile Safari would be trivial.

This is now a no brainer with how easy it is to copy and paste torrent links with the iphone now. I hope the web developers will implements this. Thumbs up if they do!

I just set up the webUI today and was very disappointed it DIDN'T have this feature.

I just installed the latest nightly build, but the web interface looks unchanged in mobile safari. I couldn't find anything in preferences to enable it. Any thoughts?

I too have installed the latest build from http://transmission.xpjets.com/ ( r8784 ) and cannot see any changes to the web interface using Mobile Safari on my iPhone. I have cleared the cache, cookies and have even changed the port #. Any tricks?

Thanks!

This feature was added in r8788. I suppose it'll be available when the next nightly is built.

Just downloaded and installed the latest nightly (r8789) and still no "Add URL" option :cry: Unless I'm missing a setting or need to clear something?

This options is a must now with Cut & Paste. Can't wait for it to be implemented.

Cheers,

It is the "open" item in the tool bar, just like in the regular web interface.

I just installed the latest build (r8789) and the open button is now there. Thanks alot!

I can now start torrent downloads from my iPhone. I also use the new Prowl iPhone app that pushes Growl notifications to the iPhone so I know when the torrent is finished (via push notification!), Very Cool!

Thanks again!

Cheers. I just cleared cache & cookies and restarted the phone and it's now available. Thank you.

EDIT: BTW Just googled a torrent, cut & pasted the link into the updated interface and and off it went. Flawlessly & remotely. Thank you again for all your hard work.
