[Phpmyadmin-devel] about 2.6.4-pl1
by Marc Delisle 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

Hi, I am planning 2.6.4-pl1. It would contain fixes for: #1287611 no save button in relation view (testing finished) #1290730 no https export under IE (some tests still to do and some feedback to be received) Those 2 bugs represent a loss of functionnality in 2.6.4. If someone thinks that other critical fixes should go into 2.6.4-pl1, just say it :) Marc

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Config file changes
by Michal Čihař 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

Hi all as announced before, I'm just commiting changes to config files. Here are few simple rules: 1. There is no config.inc.developer.php anymore, use config.inc.php instead as any other user. 2. There is no config_import.lib.php anymore, configuration is updated according to config.default.php file (this drops upgrade support for cfgSomething used in 2.2 or something like that). 3. When you add new configuration option, add default value to config.default.php (and of course document it). -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com

[Phpmyadmin-devel] 2.6.4-pl1 is coming...
by Marc Delisle 12 Sep '05

Hi, due to this bug: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1287611&group_id=2… I will probably release 2.6.4-pl1. It's always the same thing, we get more "testers" for a release than for a release candidate. I am waiting for a confirmation from the bug poster of #1287611. I would also like to include in -pl1 a possible fix for http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1285500&group_id=2… because in addition to the report in the bug tracker, I got another one by email.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Config import proposal
by Michal Čihař 08 Sep '05

08 Sep '05

Hi all current state when default values are written at two places (config.inc.php and libraries/config_import.lib.php) makes easy to make one of them different. And then we copy config file to config.default.php when releasing tarballs. So on each release configuration in placed on three places, in CVS "just" on two. This could be IMO handled better way. I can currently see two possibilities, one quite easy to implement: 1. Manage just config.default.php in CVS. 2. User has to create config.inc.php. 3. Include config.inc.php. 4. Call fix up function, that will add missing values to configration based on config.default.php. Function could look something like this (just to show how it could look like, I even haven't tested whether this code actually works): function fixup_array(&$src, &$dst) { foreach($src as $key => $val) { if (!isset($dst($key)){ $dst[$key] = $val; } elseif (is_array($val)) { fixup_array($src[$key], $dst[$key]); } } } function fixup() { include './config.default.php'; fixup_array($cfg, $GLOBALS['cfg']); } Second possible solution would be do to this fixup only when that configuration options is actually needed. This would mean no direct reading of $cfg, but using some function instead, that will deal with default values. This definitely needs more modification to all code.
