aureljared Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hello all, this is my first post here so please bear with me I've recently just started using the WebUI feature of BitTorrent, and I must say that it goes a long way in managing torrents while I am away from my computer. However, I can't help but notice the seemingly ancient interface: I understand that developers don't just start working right away because one user doesn't like how the project looks, so I've decided to have a go on making a WebUI fork and working on it myself. I know basic HTML(4) and CSS, and a little bit of JS. My aim is to make the WebUI conform to Google's Material Design guidelines using the Bootstrap framework, which I've previously used in my site so I'm quite familiar with it. I started out by making a build script for the project, since I've seen that the webui.zip contains multiple GZip archives that contain the file they were named after, like index.html.gz for index.html. I ended up with this.I tried building with the script without modifying the project, and it was successful - it gave me this ZIP, which I promptly tried using. Loading the page with Firefox told me that the WebUI seems to not have been installed, which was weird - I knew I had put it in the right place and that the ZIP had the same hierarchy as the original one. Where did I go wrong? Could it be that I zipped/gzipped something the wrong way? Help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnurlos Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 What I can see on the first look is that inside your webui.zip you have a folder .tmp which doesn't exist in Ultima's version (the public one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works now! I'll update this thread when I make more progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnurlos Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Addtitional: it seems you started with the build 0.380 and not the last 0.388 from Ultima, right?And you have the additional "dialogs.css" inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(See here.)I'll continue working on this probably in the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnurlos Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hi, now seems to work ... with some modification on the file.I renamed the "webui-master.zip" to "webui.zip" and moved all the files and folders inside the folder "webui-master" to the zip's root.
