[Phpmyadmin-devel] Information about "Refactoring: SQL executor, Column's structure manipulation" project idea
by Supun Nakandala 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Hi devs, I am planning to apply for the "Refactoring: SQL executor, Column's structure manipulation" GSOC project idea. I went through the code and found that most of the code contains a mix of php code and HTML tags which reduces the readability of the code and thus should be refactored. I would like to know your opinion about this and any possible refactoring that can be done in order to improve the quality of the code. Regards Supun

[Phpmyadmin-devel] jshint errors
by Michal Čihař 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Hi all I've took some time to look at jshint checks found on our code: http://ci.phpmyadmin.net/job/phpMyAdmin-continuous/3132/violations/?#jslint I've fixed some obvious ones (like missing ;, typecast safe comparing, missing radix for parseInt), but there are still many of them. Most of them fit into following case: - ['strSave'] is better written in dot notation. This error is raised to highlight an unnecessarily verbose and potentially confusing piece of code. More detailed explanation is at: http://jslinterrors.com/a-is-better-written-in-dot-notation/ - 'type' is already defined. / 'type' used out of scope. Most of these come from following constructs: if (foo) { var bar = 1; } else { var bar = 1; } alert(bar); This is not an issue for javascript (it has no block scope for variables), it can be confusing, more details at: http://www.jshint.com/docs/#funcscope So both are more just matter of coding style rather than real bug and can be disabled in jshint. The question is whether we would prefer to hide these warnings or fix them. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

[Phpmyadmin-devel] version 4.0.0-rc1 going well
by Marc Delisle 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hi, Nine days later and with more than 10600 downloads, RC1 seems pretty stable. I think there was only one bug ticket (3870) for this release and it came from myself. If it continues this way, how about a release of 4.0.0 on April 19? (in time for the Percona Live MysQL Conference and Expo 2013). -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Translations and CI for 4.0
by Michal Čihař 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hi all our continuous integration server now follows 4.0 branch as well: http://ci.phpmyadmin.net/job/phpMyAdmin%204.0/ The builds are currently run nightly, just let me know if more frequent builds would be needed. Also translation server provides 4.0 branch for translations (though there are no differences yet): https://l10n.cihar.com/projects/phpmyadmin/4-0/ For now I plan to keep 3.5 enabled in both as well, just in case we will need another release in 3.5 series. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://phpmyadmin.net

[Phpmyadmin-devel] GSoC Project - AJAX Error Reporting
by Abhishek Kandoi 14 Apr '13

14 Apr '13

Hi, I am a first year undergraduate at IIT Roorkee. I saw the list of proposed projects for GSoC 2013 and I am really interested to work on the project idea of AJAX Error Reporting as I have worked on a few projects based on JavaScript AJAX and was really excited about it. I have been working with JavaScript and jQuery since 2 years and I consider myself as having a good working knowledge of it. I am really excited about this project and would like to contribute. I recently developed a simple yet elegant todo web application using AJAX, the source code for which can be found here<http://github.com/abhikandoi2000/flowork> . For the Error Reporting part I would like to suggest the following ideas: 1). Using JSON for the data-exchange b/w the server and client. 2). Encryption of sensitive information for protection from eavesdropping. 3). Authentication to confirm that the request is made by a valid user. I was also thinking of a webpage to visualize the amount of errors occurred over a period of time. As in this can include graphs helping the user to identify amount of errors occurred over time and also a log list of errors in chronological order. Please comment to let me know if these features would be helpful to the phpMyAdmin project. It would be helpful if you could provide me with some details about how to proceed further for GSoC .

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Gsoc Interface Improvement
by ayush choubey 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

Hello, I was going through the Gsoc 2013 idea list and i understand that to have a chance i need to write few codes for phpmyadmin. So i was going through all the feature request that are listed there and that was quite a big list. Do we have to implement all the features or some of them can do? Actually i started with this https://sourceforge.net/p/phpmyadmin/feature-requests/1385/ --to hide/unhide the tables Can you tell if my approach is correct? In the right pane: I want to Use the top left corner of the table(the one which shows all the table inside the database) as the button described in the request. Now there are two ways to hide 1) If no checkboxis checked and if button on top-left corner is clicked then all the tables will get hidden 2) Select some of the checkbox and then upon clicking on the top-left corner button will hide only those tables that are selected. I guess first one will not be the right way. But anyway i would like a comment on it or if there is some other way And i wish to write it on the codebase of V 4.0.0-rc1. Is that all right??

Re: [Phpmyadmin-devel] [phpmyadmin] add Class PMA_Navigation_test to cover navigation test (#246)
by adam 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

Hi Rouslan, >Try to write tests for the smallest functions that you can find first. That way, the tests will actually be useful in checking whether a function does what it's supposed to. > Thanks for your help about this. I try to apply the GSOC project: Automatic testing. In fact, I have finished Have merged: https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/pull/233 add test case for PMA_Header_test https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/pull/240 Still on review: https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/pull/245 add test case for Table Class https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/pull/244 add test case for PMA_Footer_test.php https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/pull/243 add test case for Config.class.php Still on working: https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/pull/246 add Class PMA_Navigation_test to cover navigation test =============My information in preview mails=========== I am very familiar with the CI env and PHP code coverage, because I just finished a similiar project when I Intern on Yahoo! last year. I finished a automatic testing job: 1. PHP UNIT code and Functional testing code. 2. Commit to GIT will trigger a CI build. 3. The CI build is done by: slenium + Firefox+ Xvfb (so that we dont need display) 4. output the code coverage report. About the topic, at least two things should be done: 1. create more test cases to increase the code-coverage of the test-suite From the following data, Total 48.55% 11386 / 23452 48.04% 368 / 766 15.79% 9 / 57 libraries 47.45% 10894 / 22960 48.04% 368 / 766 15.79% 9 / 57 2. set up the necessary scripts to automate this. https://github.com/adamgsoc2013/phpmyadmin/tree/master/scripts Thanks, Adam

[Phpmyadmin-devel] gsoc: Refactoring: Server view
by xmujay＠gmail.com 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hi, I am new here. I am quite interested on the topic of Refactoring: Server view. from the code learning: 1. server view display code is listed on ROOT folder with prefix: server_ .php (most code is used to echo page elements) 2. the user request action is sent out using Ajax (js folder) 3. the backend logic is on library folder, some is on ROOT folder. I want to know that: 1. what kind of improvement ? user experience and UI change or code refactor? 2. If it is user experience changes, are there some todo guides? 3. is there some user survey and user experience feed back to guide us improve the Server view ? xmujay(a)gmail.com
