Vista Sidebar Gadget

[V15]

I'm sure that it says something about me that I keep replying to my own posts - never mind!

I often work from home, and remote desktop to my office pc.  for this i need to make sure i reserve plenty of bandwidth, so i often put a speed cap on sab.  unfortunatley, just as often i forget to remove said cap when im done working.  So, an idea would be an indicator (with a "toggle") to apply or remove the cap.  if it is simpler, you could have the yellow "go to sab" circle go orange when the cap is applied.

Just an idea!

Thanks again for a great app

hi V15,

i'm glad your problem is resolved but i dont know how changing the category fixed it haha!
as for your suggestion: Great idea. but i think its more logical to make some sort of indicator to show that cap is on.
if i remember correctly there is something in the new API so it should be possible

Registered just to say thanks for the great gadget! I am using it on Windows7 and other than the annoying opening 2 windows when you click open queue it works great.

To fix the window problem change the following line in gadget.html

Code: Select all

                <a href ="" target="_blank" onclick="openCompleted()"><img src="images/cat.png" alt="Open Completed Dir" /></a>

to

Code: Select all

                <a onclick="openCompleted()"><img src="images/cat.png" alt="Open Completed Dir" /></a>

Thanks again!

Hi all,

today i started working on the gadget again
here is a small list of what i have been up to:

(remember this is the v2.0 gadget and is not public yet)

- Completed Directory now works in Windows 7
- Added API Key
- added "load sabnzbd.ini" button to the gadget settings window.

the last item realy rocks
when you install the gadget for the first time you only need to click that button and it will configure itself by reading the sabnzbd+ config.
username, password, completed_dir, host, port and last but not least the Api Key are loaded.

If I try to download the gadget the webserver gives me a zip-file.

What's the problem? 
just extract from the zip

Hey,

Trying to use gadget version 1.0.1.8 with sabnzbd 0.4.7 - which is pre API key. After I configure the gadget, the "test connection" works fine. However, after closing the setup, the gadget just keeps saying "connecting." Do I have to update sabnzbd? I've been going with "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

edit: I switched to 0.4.11 and it worked.

thanks

Don't I need the *.gadget file to install it?
The zip-file only gives me the contents of it (a list of xml and html files).

Eejit is right,
.gadget files are in fact just plain zip files. I think some browsers look at the file header and change the extention to .zip

@clobber
Sorry the gadget isn't backwards compatible
the API Support was just a quick fix, version 2.0 will be compatible with all versions that support the new API style (when its stable and definitive)

Sorry, it was a mistake.

Please release Windows7-compatible version 2.0! 

Couldn't agree more - great work, can't wait to get that Win-7 compatible v2!

[TheBiGW]

Please release Windows7-compatible version 2.0! 

That would be great - also am hoping for v0.5 support too!

[Skulkiller]

Hey

First i want to say that this is a great addon for SabNzbd

But is it going to be updated for v0.5 or has development stopped ?

I'm running SABNZBD+ 0.5.0Beta4 (Windows Server 2008) and Sidebar Gadget 1.0.1.8 (Windows 7 64bit) and the gadget works but getting "WARNING:
API Key missing, please enter the api key from Config->General into your 3rd party program:" even tough the API key is entered correctly not sure what has changed, am I alone with this error?
