[Phpmyadmin-devel] GSoC 2010 proposal - User Preferences
by Piotr Przybylski 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hi, I would like to take part in this year's Google Summer of Code to implement the User Preferences proposal. I took part in GSoC two years ago, implementing phpMyAdmin's new setup script, which I hope works as intended :) Currently I am on the first year of postgraduate course for master's degree on Poznań University of Technology, specialization - Data Processing Technologies. In accordance with project proposal, all settings would be stored in pmadb, with an option for easy export and import. User will be able to change all relevant PMA features which do not affect performance or security settings. After taking a quick glance at config.default.php I believe these settings should be considered for customization: * DROP confirmations * show executed sql (ShowSql) * LeftFrame*, table comments in tooltips * displayed rows * INSERT form customization * default files (DefaultTab*) * maybe export/import default options? * MySQL manual type * window title * SQL Query box settings * hiding some tabs under one drop-down menu (eg. I have never used Designer or Query by example for database / Import for single table) -- Regards, Piotr Przybylski

[Phpmyadmin-devel] GSOC proposal - Increase Accessibility and enhance PMA
by sutharshan balachandren 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Dear sir, I’m Sutharshan from SriLanka. I’m an undergraduate student and also a part time developer as well. I’m interested in participating gsoc this year. I’m working as a freelance developer for last few years (4 years) and I’m having good experience in Web designing, web development, and software development as well. I’m having deep knowledge in php, JavaScript, Java and web designing aspects (css,html etc. ). I’m using pma for last several years and I have done modifications on that to suit my needs and I have uploaded some of them that I’m using currently which can be benefit to others as well. I would like to participate in the gsoc this year with pma and I would be greateful if I’m able to do with pma. Currently I’m doing few additional stuffs which can work together with pma and can provide lots of benefit to users. Those are follows 1. * **pma phptoolkit *– it will generate php code to access the selected database tables and the codes will be perfect oop and the html and php are differentiated as much as possible. It will generate php,html and the css files for each selected functionalities. Since its increase the speed of development and also reduce the time for development, which add more value to pma. a. Its capable of providing php codes following functionalities i. Display results in table format with record navigation ii. Insert records to the table iii. Delete records from the table iv. Update results to the table v. Search results based on selected fields b. Its has two modes i. Wizard mode (ajax based) ii. Expert mode (Specially for updating,deleting and seach) c. Each generated html form elements style can be changed by modifying the css 2. * **Advanced Query builder* – I have already did the basic query builder and updated that patch already. I’m having an idea to develop wizard type advanced query builder which works like visual studio query builder. Haven’t started yet. But I have the clear idea of how I’m going to implement that. It’s basically will be designed using JavaScript for most parts and little bit php. It can be used to generate any sort of query and able to integrate with pma phptoolkit as well Also I’m able to do some of the gsoc ideas which was published in the pma website as well. Those are · User interface cleanup · Make pma functioning based on ajax · Also able to handle oop I’m looking forward for opinion regarding my new ideas and I’ll be able to handle Both my ideas together and also able to work in gsoc ideas listed in the website, I have gone through my ideas to a certain extend, therefore i can able to add some more changes in the pma interface with my ideas to make it easy to use and add some user friendly stuffs using ajax as well. This is just my opinion. Please let me know if there are any possibilities that can be add more value. Some of other projects I have done using php,ajax, JavaScript, css are listed below (not all are listed..) · www.gsoc.izonedevelopers.com/test.html - Load website articles in any website by using a sinble piece of javascript which can be customized in lots of ways. Also able to track views and clicks from each publisher websites. Similar to the functionality of the adsense. its loads the content of my website www.izonedevelopers.com · www.izonedevelopers.com –my own cms based website and the admin panel is ajax based with js content editor (nicEdit) · http://hosting.izonedevelopers.com/ipanel/ - hosting panel using php and javascript. The main advantage of this panel is its runs in a shared hosting. Not in a reseller hosting. Therefore any shared host can be turned into reseller hosting account. Not all the parts are implemented. its still under development. But most important parts are already finished. · Demo username – javaconvert.co.cc · Demo password – 123456 · www.iads.izonedevelopers.com/trace/ - email tracking system which can be used to view how many emails that we have send was viewed by the users. Users need not to click on anything. Just opening the email is enough. Its works with all email sending programs perfectly.eg: sendblaster · Demo username –demo · Password – 123 Hope these examples will demonstrate my ability to work with php and javascript as well Hope to get a good response from all. Regards, Sutharshan

[Phpmyadmin-devel] User reviews at Sourceforge
by Isaac Bennetch 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

Hi, I see that we've gotten quite a number of positive reviews in the relatively new voting feature at Sourceforge[1]. I was looking over the "Thumbs Down" votes to see what the user complaints are an a vast majority of them relate to the poor download process provided by SF. Mirrors not working or being outdated, long delays redirecting to a mirror, broken links, etc -- is there any way we can improve this process? Some projects provide a direct link to one of the mirrors as a second option to the normal download link, though I don't know if SF allows that in this case. Perhaps Sourceforge needs to be notified of the problems people are encountering and nagged until it's fixed. I don't know what's best, I'm just asking. But really, the percentage of happy users is extremely high, kudos to the team! ~isaac 1 -- https://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/reviews/

[Phpmyadmin-devel] GSoC new idea proposal
by Tiziano Santoro 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

Hi everybody, I'd like to propose some new features that could be implemented in the tool during this summer GSoC. My idea is to come up with something vaguely similar to the well known cakephp, but extremely simplified. Let's say we have a small company willing to quickly organize a meeting with some sort of planning done on a database (either existing, or created ad hoc). Maybe it could be useful from the pma tool to be able to generate a simple yet effective interface for the database so that different users can have the permission to edit, add and delete the data (selectively), allowing also for multi-user concurrent editing. This in part overlaps with my other proposal, of adding AJAX support with in-line and concurrent editing to the tool, so maybe I could work with another person in this project to come up with something good. Please let me have some quick feedback about this, so I can submit my formal proposal :) Thank you Tiziano Santoro -- In God we Trust (All others must submit an X.509 certificate.) (C. Forsythe)

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Enabling backtrace and error displaying
by Edouard SWIAC 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

Hi, I'm working on a patch for this bug https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2983056&group_id=23067&ati… On the demo server, the error happens whatever engine is chosen (MariaDB or MySQL). I am trying to reproduce the bug on my machine (Mac OSX 10.6) with a fresh 3.3.2-rc1 PMA. I already have MySQL Server, and I am compiling MariaDB to test with it, and while the falsy error is still here, Warning message doesn't display. How can I enable the backtrace mode ? Thank you. edouard

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Templates in phpMyAdmin
by Silvan Troxler 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Hello everyone Michael Keck and I were discussing about templates in PMA. We both would like to convert phpMyAdmin to use a template system. We did not make a decision yet on using Twig or Dwoo but are discussing that. I would like to contribute as a GSoC student for this transition. The problem is, that there is too much work to do for 12 weeks. That's why Michael and I were thinking about partitioning the tasks in order to be able to finish it faster. It would not be a real cooperation as we would define who is responsible for what section of PMA. I'm not sure whether Michael can or wants to be a mentor himself or it would help for the project to be done. What do you think about that? Regards Silvan

[Phpmyadmin-devel] google soc
by Tiziano Santoro 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Hello, My name is Tiziano and I am a 21 years old student of Computer Engineering from Italy. I'd like to get involved in the google soc, and I've already sent a proposal via the google form. I'd like to develop the AJAX interactive part of the tool, enriching it with in-line editing and concurrent editing, allowing for several users to effectively work at the same time on the same data. It's the first time I collaborate in an open source project, even though I have already got some experience in developing RIAs, especially with AJAX interactions. I hope to be able to start collaborating soon with you :) Tiziano -- In God we Trust (All others must submit an X.509 certificate.) (C. Forsythe)
