Please add support for mongo URI as address source

[virl]

Both for entering connection address and for retrieving resulting uri address.

[jeromelebel]

I'm not sure to understand "retrieving resulting uri address"

[virl]

I mean to be able to copy to clipboard mongo connection url when entering just hostname, port and username.

[jeromelebel]

Is there a standard scheme for mongo url?

[virl]

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/connection-string/

[jeromelebel]

Should be fixed in 3.0. You can verify this issue, and close it.

[virl]

Installed 3.0, still don't see how to enter mongo uri when creating new connection.

[jeromelebel]

Just click on the url

[virl]

You mean click on url in another app?
It doesn't solve the problem, because most of the time when I create new connection, I take URL from some form of config file. So copy&paste is needed too.

[jeromelebel]

you can also do a paste in the connection window of an url.

[virl]

How?

[jeromelebel]

just paste

[jeromelebel]

cmd-v

[virl]

I think UI must have visual button for that or it must be told explicitly.

[jeromelebel]

you are right

[ilanbiala]

@jeromelebel not too clear, it should really just be one field OR the x fields instead. Can we set that up? When pasting the full URI into the one box, it autopopulates the other boxes.

[jeromelebel]

yes, this could be improved.

[ilanbiala]

Right now I'm getting an error that my connection isn't connecting. While we are working on this, can you post an example of what can go in the address field?

[jeromelebel]

I don't understand. If you have a problem to connect to a server, it has nothing to do with this issue.

To use your mongodb:// URI, you have 2 choices:

• click on the link, MongoHub should open with a connection panel, ready to be saved
• open MongoHub, and in the first window (with all the connections), just paste the URI

[ilanbiala]

pasting the URL was not obvious at all. Can you make it more obvious and support pasting that same URL into a single field in the new connection window?

[jeromelebel]

Yes I already said it twice: this can be improved. This is why this issue is not closed yet.
