[Phpmyadmin-devel] GSoC 2010
by Kaarel Nummert 02 Apr '10

02 Apr '10

Hi! I'm Kaarel Nummert from Estonia doing BSc in Computer Science and Mathematics in The University of Edinburgh. I've been writing PHP for quite a few years now. For the last three years I've been involved in developing a web platform (and applications for it) in PHP with an Estonian company. Project for GSoC will be to port a part of PMA to OO structure. I will dive into more detail in my application which I will post over the weekend. I'll ask for comments once it's up there. This e-mail is just to let you know of my existence and my plan to contribute to PMA. So far I've only submitted a tiny fix for a bug, but I will submit at least one more over the weekend. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2976790&group_id=23067&atid… I've opened up a blog where I plan to post reports on my progress on GSoC. Nothing there yet though. http://gsoc2010.blogspot.com/ Best Regards, Kaarel Nummert

Thanks for all your help! bhdouglass

[Phpmyadmin-devel] common.js and Mootools
by Marc Delisle 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

Hi, Now that js/update-location.js is converted to jQuery -- thanks Michal -- I believe we could remove the loading of mootools.js from index.php. Unless there is some dependency to Mootools inside js/common.js but I think not. -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

I was thinking about storing configuration values in a database or file like the current config.inc.php. Is the project to large? I didn't think it would be that big, but you probably would know better than me. Should I narrow my focus? bhdouglass

Hi Michal, Thanks for the heads up, I planned on submitting the real thing later this week. I just wanted to post it up here for any feedback to make it better. But if no feedback can be given I'll just send it along to the GSoC website.

Re: [Phpmyadmin-devel] Proposal for GSOC 2010

Hi Marc, Do i need to submit any patch or sample work before submitting the proposal in GSOC site?? Thanks and Regards R Hemanth Kumar Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2010 09:22:59 +0530 From: Hemanth kumar <hemanth147(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Phpmyadmin-devel] Proposal for GSOC 2010.

Regarding Exporting it to XML format what i intended to say was i want to exporting whole database into XML format with one click. I've an idea on how to do it. MySQL supports converting sql query result into XML and Mysql also displays complete list of tables using "show tables;" We have to merge both the features. I Dont know if its extensively useful but as an admin UI i want to provide all the features.

Hello all! Just realized that I was on the wrong mailing list and figured out that I should be on this one (embarrassed). But, no matter, I wrote up my proposal while wondering why no one was talking to me. If you would like to view the rough proposal I wrote up you can view it here - https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AXQtkzw9tbFUZGZzZGg5ZHZfOTU0dDV3c3NkcA&h…. I would appreciate any feedback that I can get (about the project, the timeline, anything), I would enjoy working with PMA as part of GSoC. Thank you! bhdouglass

[Phpmyadmin-devel] problem with _pgettext() in English (US)
by Marc Delisle 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

Hi, in libraries/messages.inc.php we have $strCreateTableShort = _pgettext('$strCreateTableShort', 'Create table'); This gives a good result for all languages I tried, except English (US). -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info
