[Phpmyadmin-devel] Documentation
by Michal Čihař 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Hi for quite some time I was thinking about way we provide documentation and I think there is lot of place for improvements. As my current favorite tool to build documentation is Sphinx <http://sphinx.pocoo.org/>, I gave it a try. To name some of the benefits let me quote from their home page: * Output formats: HTML (including Windows HTML Help), LaTeX (for printable PDF versions), manual pages, plain text * Extensive cross-references: semantic markup and automatic links for functions, classes, citations, glossary terms and similar pieces of information * Hierarchical structure: easy definition of a document tree, with automatic links to siblings, parents and children * Automatic indices: general index as well as a module index * Built-in fulltext search I've done quick and dirty [*] conversion of FAQ and few introductory sections, you can find source here: https://github.com/nijel/phpmyadmin-doc And the generated documentation in HTML and PDF here: http://tmp.cihar.com/pmadoc/index.html http://tmp.cihar.com/phpMyAdmin.pdf What do you think about changing our documentation from HTML to something else (be it Sphinx, Docbook or something completely else)? [*] I've lost all text formatting and links in text, but that should not be hard to convert properly, I just did not want to spend much time on prototype. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://phpmyadmin.cz

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Upgrading sf.net project
by Michal Čihař 17 Nov '12

17 Nov '12

Hi maybe you've noticed, maybe not, but sf.net is slowly moving to new platform called Allura [1] and projects can opt in for upgrading. There seems to be quite a lot of improvements [2], especially in the Issue tracking (you can see Allura's own tickes [3] as an example). There are upgrading information on separate page [4] and none of not migrated things does not affect us, so I'd go for upgrade. Any comments on that?

[Phpmyadmin-devel] grid editing not with single-click?
by Marc Delisle 20 Oct '12

20 Oct '12

Hi, After reading [0] I am almost convinced that grid editing with a single-click is not the best idea. So, for 4.0, I suggest to switch to some other action to activate grid editing.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] phpMyAdmin security alert (PMASA-2012-5)
by Marc Delisle 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

Hi, the PMASA-2012-5 security advisory has been published on http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/security/PMASA-2012-5.php. In short, a SourceForge.net mirror server was compromised, leading to the distribution of a doctored phpMyAdmin kit containing a backdoor. phpMyAdmin-3.5.2.2-all-languages.zip fetched from this mirror server is known to be affected. To our knowledge only one mirror is affected, which appears to be taken offline already. All other SourceForge.net mirrors are unaffected. phpMyAdmin security team

[Phpmyadmin-devel] ready for 3.5.3-rc1?
by Marc Delisle 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Hi, the QA_3_5 branch no longer has Highcharts. There is still work to do, to merge the new chart code to master, but I believe that we are ready for 3.5.3-rc1. -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Supporting SSL connections to MySQL
by Isaac Bennetch 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Hi, While there is a configuration directive ($cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl']) to use an SSL connection for connecting to the MySQL server[1], it doesn't seem to work. PHP requires a number of extra variables when initiating an SSL connection (certificate path, key file, etc). I think I've fixed up the existing code, but I don't have an ssl-enabled mysql install. Yeah, I'll probably eventually compile my own, but right now I don't have time for that. Is anyone in a position to test my branch? https://github.com/ibennetch/phpmyadmin.git in the ssl branch or https://github.com/ibennetch/phpmyadmin/zipball/ssl -- you'll want to refer to Documentation.html for the appropriate configuration options. Thanks 1 - not from the client to phpMyAdmin, that is ForceSSL and beyond the scope of what I'm talking about)

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Status on the jqplot conversion
by Marc Delisle 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Hi, things are going well, but I just noticed that one part has not been done yet. In js/server_status_monitor.js, a call is made to PMA_createProfilingChart(), which calls PMA_createChart(), which uses Highcharts. There is a similar function, PMA_createProfilingChartJqplot(), which does it the jqplot way and is used in js/sql.js. Any volunteer to work on this? -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info
