[Phpmyadmin-devel] Interested in Two Projects for GSOC 2011
by HasithaAb 23 Feb '11

23 Feb '11

I am Hasitha Abeykoon who is a final year Computer science and Engineering undergraduate from University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. Examining the ideas list of phpMyAdmin for GSOC 2011 on [1], I found two projects which took my sincere interest. I would like to know more information about the projects and the expected improvements with some technical details so that I can read up and choose one project to follow up. 1. The first project is “Support for Stored Procedures”. I suppose manipulating stored procedures in a nice way means improving the user Interface for the phpMyAdmin users so that they can type stored procedures, view and edit them more easily? As a first step into the project I looked into the “phpMyAdmin improve” page [2] and learnt how to use GIT and get the source code. 2. The second project I like is “User Interface Cleanup”. I have many ideas and thoughts even now which I would be pleased to see in phpMyAdmin interface. For a project on information management of annual functions at CSE we used phpMyAdmin tool, which I felt very admirable. Please direct me on the technologies and any documents that I need to refer in order to learn more about GUI Designing and binding between the Interface and core of phpMyAdmin. • I’m familiar with PHP, MySQL and JAVA. • I have experiences about GUI designing by my internship at Virtusa Cooperation, Sri Lanka [3]. Think it would be nice to work with you. Thank you in advance.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Getting involve!
by Kasun Lakpriya 23 Feb '11

23 Feb '11

Hi all, I am Kasun Lakpriya from Univesity of Moratuwa, SriLanka. I am following a BSc in Computer Science and Engineering and now I am in my final year. I have participated in 2010 Google Summer of Code and worked for Apache Software Foundation's Directory project. My work with mentor can be found here [1]. I have PHP, MySQL knowledge and unit testing knowledge in Java. While I am going though some interested projects I found phpMyAdmin wiki has some interested ideas. I am very much interested about the second idea [2]. I installed Git and cloned the phpMyAdmin module to my Ubuntu 9.10 machine and had a look into some of the code. And now I am looking into Selenium tests. I would like to work with you all to get familiar with the code-base. Your ideas are welcome to get me started with phpMyAdmin! Thank you, Kasun [1] - http://code.google.com/p/dirstudio-ldap-tooling/ [2] - http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/GSoC_2011_Ideas_List#Automated_testing

[Phpmyadmin-devel] 10 years on SourceForge.net
by Michal Čihař 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Hi all I've just noticed that another nice anniversary is coming - 10 years of project existence on SourceForge.net. The project was registered on 2001-03-18. While it would be nice to release 3.4.0 on that date, I don't believe the testing will go so smoothly... -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Strings freeze
by Michal Čihař 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

Hi as we're getting closer to the release, we should give translators chance to catch up. Therefore I propose to make no strings changes from now. Should there be need for some change, it needs to be discussed before here on mailing list (or on security list in case it is pushed by not yet public disclosure). -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

I was trying to connect phpmyadmin with drizzle. It says error in SQL Query : SET CHARACTER SET 'utf8'... I tried running it in drizzle and same error appears there. How can i disable the charsets/collations that we do on connect ? And is there any specific reason for why drizzle does not support utf8 while mysql does ? ___ Regards Aamir Khan

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Testing request: Ajax features
by Marc Delisle 20 Feb '11

20 Feb '11

Hi, there have been changes this week about HTTP headers handling for Ajax, in particular due to bug [0]. I have just pushed commit 67339bab2aa1cc20b0ba0d55d7d6b5feb538607d as an attempt to rectify the remaining problems but I have doubts. I would like testers for Ajax features in current master. For a list of things to test, look at [1] (however this list has not been updated to indicate what has been implemented).

[Phpmyadmin-devel] unserialize in user preferences
by Michal Čihař 16 Feb '11

16 Feb '11

Hi all while looking at user preferences I've noticed that it uses serialize/unserialize for storing the data in database. As this functions is quite famous in terms of security, I think we should avoid this. Any reason for not using json encoding there instead? It encodes just the data and would not possibly call PHP code as unserialize could do because of objects with __wakeup() methods. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Theme contest
by Michal Čihař 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

Hi all as the deadline for theme submission is over, we should create a survey to choose the default theme. As we have only three submissions, I propose to include all themes we currently have for 3.4. Links to demo server and screenshots are currently on the wiki: http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/Themes_in_Contest I've tried to setup survey on sf.net using LimeSurvey, but I failed: https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/ticket/17576 Anyway if you are developer, you should be able to ask for access to LimeSurvey at https://sourceforge.net/project/admin/features.php?group_id=23067 and go to survey preview to see it. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com
