[Phpmyadmin-devel] cookie restriction
by Marc Delisle 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Hi, ok, so in 2.8.2 we add in doc + release notes the restriction about cookies. In 2.9.0, we detect if cookies are disabled. If so, we inform the user (implies a new message, this is why I push it to 2.9.0), then we a) refuse to work? b) accept to work but with broken output? Marc

[Phpmyadmin-devel] RE: Templating
by Micheal Winger 31 May '06

31 May '06

Ok so i'm not sure If i am posting this right on the system.. if not can someone please email me and let me know how to do this? I vote Smarty is implemented.. I had offered a bit ago to implement something similar and fix up the php code, but shortly after had got hired for a job I was trying to get, and now don't have enough time to totally clean up phpMyAdmin while it is still under development, and keep my copy up to date :S. If Smarty is going to be implemented, I will have more time to help with development that is needed on the project, as it will create a more modular approach and let developers pick just a small section they would like to add in to the project. IMO Smarty is a very good templating engine to use, I have used it lots before and it is quite effective in many uses. +1 to the tally from me. Mike

[Phpmyadmin-devel] token and cookies
by Sebastian Mendel 31 May '06

31 May '06

Hi, token does not work if cookies are disabled of course the whole session thing does not work if cookies disabled, but till now this was not a problem as the session was just re-init with every request if the session could not be continued. so phpMyAdmin now requires cookies enabled in browser. -- Sebastian Mendel www.sebastianmendel.de

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Templates
by Sebastian Mendel 31 May '06

31 May '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, are there any reasons against introducing Smarty as template engine with phpMyAdmin? And of course ship it with phpMyAdmin? the only 'problem' i see is that Smarty needs a writable directory to store its compiled files - i don't know if it is possible to 'precompile' this files as normally the templates will not be changed by the user - -- Sebastian Mendel www.sebastianmendel.de -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (MingW32) iD8DBQFEfE/bX/0lClpZDr4RAsAiAKCPbqo6Ok+yGacad0ygn+nz3seqlQCfZNy1 GkBkjYV14Hh0HlbWiu+XDUM= =Yxh8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Arnor! (You did not post your reply to the mailinglist, so I'll do that) > So the code looks better. Is that a good enough reason? Yes, it is. A maintainable code is very important, else no new developers can easily get into the project. It makes bugs also easier to spot and better to fix. It's like documentation: You don't need it if you know the code by heart. But having it, helps all other people a lot. > It's actually > been a few years since I discarded smarty as clunky, unproductive and > conter-intuitive so it might have improved a bit through the years, but to me, > especially when you're trying to modify smarty-based code, it slows you down a > lot. But I realize now that I might not have an updated brain. I hated Smarty 2-3 years ago as well because I thought exactly that, and that it's unneccessary and much hassle. But I learnt to appreciate it a lot in the past. It makes coding much more fun, if it doesn't hurt the eye to have various <?php and ?> tags and HTML spread all over the code. Smarty is a lot like OO programming: You don't NEED it, and in small projects it's hard overhead. But once you get used to it and can use the advantages of it, you can't ignore it any more. :-) Best regards and thanks for your feedback, Garvin - -- Garvin Hicking | Web-Entwickler | Make me happy: www.supergarv.de | #ICQ 21392242 | http://wishes.garv.info/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEfaErUZolOPYrUhYRAg69AKC5/y9axJO3cOF5fyls/qIRcmWAbgCgsK23 TEGYvi6Lk2h93KE5Gpv/OpA= =EgoC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Future of phpMyAdmin
by Michal Čihař 29 May '06

29 May '06

Hi all Sorry for long mail, but I thing we should somehow face to future. Silence in mailing lists and CVS doesn't indicate anything good. It looks like all current team members are quite busy with other stuff or don't have motivation to work on phpMyAdmin. We're way behind current MySQL features by not supporting views and stored procedures, which even can not be entered as SQL as changing delimiter completely chokes our SQL parser/spliter. I myself hardly find time to do some work on phpMyAdmin when there are other project which attract me more and there is not only coding I want to do. Partly it is caused by me needs - I no longer require new features from phpMyAdmin for daily work, partly by lack of motivation for digging into quite complex parts of code. We probably need fresh blood for team, but I don't see anybody who could be interested for this. Anyway fresh blood doesn't mean long time active developer. Our latest acquisition (Sebastian) was very active in first six months (or so, I don't recall exact numbers) and then he seems to run into same problems as all others. This seems to tell me there is something wrong with project. Is it it's code base? Are team members not enough supportive? Probably partly both, but I can't tell real reason. There is need to move further, in current state we lack many needed features, which are requested. We won't loose our position in MySQL administration in near future as there is not much competence right now. However there are growing interesting projects like TurboDbAdmin [1] or even something like MySQL-Front [2] with PHP tunnel. They all have at least advantage of doing operations immediately and interactively and are not that limited by HTML/HTTP as phpMyAdmin. Sorry I can't propose where to go. Maybe we should take part on SoC [3] with some larger stuff (eg. stored procedure functions), but it's too late for it right now. 1. http://turboajax.com/turbodbadmin/ 2. http://www.mysqlfront.de/ 3. http://code.google.com/soc/ -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com
