[Phpmyadmin-devel] isset($cfg[...]) not needed anymore
by Sebastian Mendel 02 Aug '06

Hi, as we have the config.default.php there is no need to always check with isset() for a specific config variable, isn't it? -- Sebastian Mendel www.sebastianmendel.de

Hi all I think this should go to -devel so I post it here :-).

I think showing all themes is sensible way to go. Otherwise if user installs old theme, it is hard to find out what's going on. And I saw such problem several times. However user might not be able to notice this himself, so I'd put warning on bottom of main.php if theme is outdated (saying that some parts might be displayed wrongly due to too old theme). The only problem is how to check whether theme is compatiblem. I thought generation/version will be best solution when I wrote that code, because I expected theme changes don't have to be with each version... -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

[Phpmyadmin-devel] saving server, db and table in cookie
by Sebastian Mendel 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

Hi, i would like to introduce saving server, db and table in cookie too, but only checked in index.php so a user will always return to the last opened server/db/table // with true phpMyAdmin will save last opened server/db/table in a // cookie and restore it when phpMyAdmin re-opens $cfg['RememberLastPosition'] = true; -- Sebastian Mendel www.sebastianmendel.de

[Phpmyadmin-devel] 2.9.0-beta1 showstoppers?
by Marc Delisle 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

Hi, Apart from sending a message to translators and receiving their updates, I think that the auto-numbering issue in Documentation.html is the biggest (maybe the only) showstopper before 2.9.0-beta1. https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1446538&group_id=… I remind you that this feature only works in FF 1.5. I saw it non-working on IE 6 and the bug tracker has an impressive collection of non-working (or with weird results) browsers about this. In 2.8.2: FAQ numbers hard-coded, other sections are not numbered In HEAD: auto-numbers for all sections. I am volunteer to remove the auto-numbering and put back the FAQ numbers like in 2.8.2. In fact, there was an idea behind not changing the FAQ numbers over time: to ease reference for FAQ numbers mentioned in the forums. Marc

[Phpmyadmin-devel] 2.8.2.1 tomorrow and Documentation.html changes
by Marc Delisle 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

Hi, I just merged in HEAD a patch by Isaac about the quick installation procedure, please comment. It was suggested by Isaac and Juergen that this improved installation procedure be merged for 2.8.2.1 so I'll wait for your comments about the contents and the opportunity to backport it to 2.8.2.1 for a release tomorrow.
