Hello all I just put online new phpMyAdmin website. I hope that all old links should work (= are same or should redirect to appropriate page on new web), but if you find anything what is not working, please drop me a note (I will try to check error logs also). Official announcement will follow soon, if no problems appear. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Usability problems in SVN trunk
by Garvin Hicking 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

Hi! The first time for maybe 2 years I am in need of using phpMyAdmin intensively again, and now had a closer look on the current SVN trunk (3.2.0-dev), where I was surprised to see some common usage cases changed in a way, that makes my life harder to use phpMyAdmin. I would like to put some work into that, but first ask for the reasoning behind if, and if my work on that is appreciated. Mind me that I have not yet read the sourcecode on these issues, so I might not be aware of any hidden config options that toggle this changed behaviour. * On the table structure page, the indices have been hidden by default. For me and for many others, Indexes are REALLY important for MySQL administration. Having an additional click on "+ Details" (which needs some specific designing/icon for the future) to expand those details is slowing things down. I suggest to either add a config option to be able to turn on the Details by default again, with the values "Yes, No, Cookie". When choosing Cookie, a per-table cookie would be created that indicates if the indices are shown by default or not. Also, the "Details" link appears below the repeated navigation for tables with many keys. I suggest to have Details BEFORE the repeated navigation. Plus, when clicking on "Details" on tables with many keys, the browser jumps to the top of the page, and I need to scroll down again to see the actual indexes. * Much more problematic for my own work is that when I browse tables, the "FULLTEXT" icon was removed. What was formerly one click to reveal larger table contents is now three clicks, and needs to be performed for every pagination resultset. That really curbs down easy access to table contents. I suggest to re-add the Fulltext toggle icon. The other content of "+ Options" when browsing can stay how it is can stay, I think those options are used fairly rarely. Plus, when expanding the "+Options", the browser cuts of the last 2-3 pixels of the box, so no ending border remains and it makes the whole dropout appear a bit ugly. ;) * The actions for browsing a table and viewing the structure from the left frame has been reversed. What is the reasoning behind this? I think many users got accustomed to that, so switching it is hard to understand, as I also see no real benefit to the change other than creating confusion? I'm eager to hear your feedback on this. :-) Best regards, Garvin -- ++ Garvin Hicking | Web-Entwickler [PHP] | www.garv.in | ICQ 21392242 ++ Developer of | www.phpMyAdmin.net | www.s9y.org ++ Make me happy | http://wishes.garv.in

[Phpmyadmin-devel] new setup and Swekey
by Marc Delisle 14 Nov '08

Hi, I think that the Swekey config file option should not be under "signon login options", maybe under "Server configuration". Comments? Marc

[Phpmyadmin-devel] about 3.1 and new setup
by Marc Delisle 11 Nov '08

11 Nov '08

Hi, I have always disliked the "config" directory that we use as a workspace for setup purposes. Beside needing a manual creation and renaming and specific rights, many users do not grasp the concept because other OSS use a config directory to store the effective configuration. This is why I suggest to get rid of it, for 3.1.0-beta2 :) Instead, we could use cURL or FTP extensions to load and store the configuration directly in the main directory. FTP credentials would be passed to the interface and used for setup purposes. Comments? Marc
