Hello everybody!<br><br>My name is Richard Dvorsky. I`m from Slovakia. I have started to use phpMyAdmin five years ago.<br>I have been doing some research for user interface cleanup. And I made list of my user interface improvements.<br>
<style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }</style>
<ul><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"><font size="2">Of course, is no complete and
any suggestions are vary welcome.</font></p></ul>
Look at list.<style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }</style>
<style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }</style><ul><li><p><a name="result_box6"></a><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><b>Server
- Privileges</b><b>: </b> S<span lang="en">olution is the same as it
is written in points for </span><span lang="en"><b>Server - DB –
Privilges</b></span>. But I add icon to delete user to place where
is “Check All/Uncheck All”. Nearby this icon, will be
hidden option to delete database ,with same name who has user.</font></p>
</li></ul>
<ul><li><p><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><b>Server - Synchronize:
</b>There needs only hide the “Port” and “Socket”, because
they are seldom used.</font></p>
</li></ul>
<ul><li><p><a name="result_box8"></a><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><b>Server
- DB - Structure</b><b>: </b>This phpMyAdmin tool is for common user
a little bit complicated. P<span lang="en">robably the best would
be to hide “Structure”, “Search” and “Insert”. Moreover,
as</span> “Browse”, “Empty” and “Drop” <span lang="en">will
remain. If the user wants other functions, he only clicks to icon.
Other stuff like “</span>Rows”, “Type”, “Collation”,
“Size”, ”Overhead” will remain too.</font></p>
</li></ul>
<ul><li><p><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><b>Server - DB - Search</b><b>:
</b>The m<span lang="en">ain goal of this selection is to simplify
searching. There will be one search window</span> like in google. It
will be searching with LIKE %value% command in all tables with
columns. If the user wants to set up search criteria, he only clicks
to custom search.</font></p>
</li></ul>
<ul><li><p><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><b>Server - DB -
Operations - Copy database to: </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">Display
just only simple window where user can write database name. Other
options will by hidden</span>. </font>
</p>
</li></ul>
<ul><li><p><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><b>Server - DB -
Privileges - Edit Privileges: </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">Make
only simple list of privileges tools. </span></font>
</p>
</li></ul>
<ul><li><p><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><b>Server - DB -
Privileges - Edit Privileges - Global Privileges: </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">In
this section is also best to do list of options too. User chooses
only this options what he needs to change. Items of the list will
be</span>: “Data”, “Structure”, “Administration”,
“Resource Limits”.</font></p>
</li></ul>
<ul><li><p><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><b>Server - DB -
Privileges - Edit Privileges - Change Password: </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">There
needs only hide the “Password hashing” and “Generate
password”, because common user doesn`t need it. Other options are
OK.</span></font></p>
</li></ul>
<ul><li><p><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><b>Server - DB -
Privileges - Edit Privileges - Change Login informations: </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">Make
list with “</span>Login informations”, “Create a new user
with...”. The user opens only this, what he really needs to edit.</font></p>
</li></ul>
<ul><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><b>Server
- DB - Table - Browse: </b><span lang="en"><span style="font-weight: normal;">In
this section is quite a lot of work.</span></span></font></p>
<ul><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a name="result_box9"></a><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">At
first would by to simplify “Show” options. There is so many
<span lang="en">useless functions, which looks disorganized and
common user doesn`t need to set it up. Other s</span>tuff like
“query range”, “horizontal or vertical mod”, “repeating
headers”, “sorting” will be hidden. Only “page arrows”
and “page list” will be shown.</font></p>
</li><li><p><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">I`d like to hide “Edit”
and “Copy” in query displaying, because is not used commonly by
user.</font></p>
</li></ul>
</li></ul>
<ul><li><p><a name="result_box7"></a><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><b>Server
- DB - Table - Structure: </b>Table structure GUI is pretty good. <span lang="en">I
would hide only “Add column to table”.</span> Then make “Print
view” and “Propose table structure” more visible. </font>
</p>
</li></ul><ul><li><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><b>Server - DB - Table –
Search: </b>I would like to make searching more simpler. It will be
searching with LIKE %value% command in all columns in table. If the
user wants to set up search criteria, he only clicks to custom
search.</font></li></ul>
<ul><li><p><a name="result_box10"></a><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><b>Server
- DB - Table - Insert: </b>I would hide “Ignore” part, <span lang="en">because
there is not needed for common user. And I want to make more simpler
part </span>Insert as new row.</font></p>
</li></ul>
<ul><li><p><a name="result_box11"></a><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><b>Server
- DB - Table - Operations: </b><span lang="en">The best way is to
create a list of options provided and user chooses what he really
wants</span>.</font></p>
</li></ul>
<ul><li><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><b>Server - DB - Table -
Operations - Copy table to: </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">Display
just only simple window where user can write database name. Other
options will by hidden</span><b>. </b></font></li></ul><br>Thanks for reading :-)<br><br>R.D.<br>
