[Phpmyadmin-devel] GSoc 2010 - Charts in server status page
by Madhura Jayaratne 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

Hi everyone, My name is Madhura Jayaratne and I am an undergraduate from the University of Moratuwa Sri Lanka. I have few years of experience in using php and mySql and was a user of phpMyAdmin for few years. When I was going through the GSoC idea list I noticed the project idea on charts and was interested as I have engaged in developing a general charting framework during my internship. I went through the requested feature list and had a look at the area of the codebase where I have to do the development. I have few ideas to add in this regard. My feeling is that, before adding charts to the runtime information tab we should put in place a framework that would allow us to extend charting facilitates wherever we want to have it in phpMyAdmin. What I'm proposing is a general data structure that would facilitate multiple types of charts (we can learn a lot from Google Visualization API in this regard), and a set of interfaces that would facilitate different implementation for different chart rendering engines( we can even go for something other than CD2, if we feel like that sometimes down the line) Though this would take few weeks of extra time, I feel that this allows a lot of extensibility. When we have this framework in place we can do the implementation as for the requirement we have now and we can go on to add different charts to phpMyAdimn in the future as the requirement arises. Would love to hear your opinion about this Thanx in advance Regards, -- Madhura Jayaratne

[Phpmyadmin-devel] GSOC project - User interface cleanup
by Isuru Udana 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

Hi, I am an undergraduate from University of Moratuwa. I would like to do the "User interface cleanup" project for google summer of code. I have some experience in user interface design and php. I went through the given feature requests. I wonder whether these given feature requests are the features I have to implement. Is there any place where I can find list of enhancements to be done for the user interface? -- Isuru Udana Undergraduate Department of Computer Science & Engineering, University of Moratuwa, Web: http://isudana.tk/ Blog: http://mytecheye.blogspot.com/ gTalk : isudana skype: isudana

[Phpmyadmin-devel] committing a patch to git
by Dieter Adriaenssens 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, Yesterday, I tried to commit a patch to the QA_3_3 branch and then merge it with master. Everything went well until I had to merge my changes in the QA_3_3 branch to master. This is what I did : git pull (to sync with current changes in git) git checkout QA_3_3 (made changes to main.php and ChangeLog) git commit -a -m "message" so far no problems, but then git checkout master git merge QA_3_3 and then I got this : $ git merge QA_3_3 Auto-merging ChangeLog CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in ChangeLog Auto-merging Documentation.html Auto-merging libraries/config.default.php Auto-merging main.php Auto-merging tbl_change.php CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in tbl_change.php Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result. I understand the automerge of Documentation.html and libraries/config.default.php. They are probably different between branches. I understand why merging ChangeLog had difficulties, because I changed something there. I can imagine why main.php (the file I changed) merged without problem, probably because that file was previously unchanged, so the merge was no problem. But what I don't understand is why the tbl_change.php caused problems. I didn't touch that file, so as far as I'm concerned, that file should have been correctly merged the previous time (commit before me). After manualy changing the tbl_change.php and ChangeLog file, I did this : git add ChangeLog git add tbl_change.php (because git status instructed me to) and then git commit git push This resulted in these two commits : Changed link to git repository on main page Merge branch 'QA_3_3' It then turned out I forgot to solve two conflicts in tbl_change.php (indicated by >>>>>> HEAD and <<<<<< QA_3_3). I changed this file and commited again : fix mistake in merge Merge branch 'master' of ssh://phpmyadmin.git.sourcefor... (the last commit happened automaticaly when I did a git pull, before git push, because Marc had pushed a commit in the meanwhile) So, I think everything in git is as it should be now. But I guess I made some mistakes, or there must be a way to avoid these kind of problems. (4 commits to change 2 lines of code seems a bit too much. ;) ) Everything went well until the merge part, so I wonder how you guys do it. Is it possible to only merge the changes in the last commit, and ignore all other files? Thanks for the help.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] gsoc idea
by anirvana mishra 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

hello, I am a computer-science student.I have a strong background in c,c++,php,python and ajax.I am very much interested in ajaxifying the current phpmyadmin interface.I am giving links to some of my past works. 1. troika.dcetech.com (tech fest website fully in ajax) 2. mist10.dcetech.com (online code breaking game fully in ajax) 3. repertoire.dcetech.com apart from that many minor projects. i am web assistant at ACM's crossroad magazine and council member at mozdev.org. I am admin at dcetech.com(fully phpbb) i would like to carry forward this idea of ajaxifying the UI.We can use jquery to simplify the code and different functions to display alerts and ajax loaders etc.Looking forward for Lem9's feedback. Thanks -- Cheers Anirvana Mishra

[Phpmyadmin-devel] PMA UI Idea
by Vipin Nair 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Hello everyone, I am back with my small crazy Idea! I think a Drag-n-Drop database creation feature(Something Similar to MySql Workbench) would be a very good idea implement as a part of new UI. PMA could be next Workbench Killer, if implemented properly. I tried to implement drag-n-drop using JqueryUI and did get some initial success. Since PMA is going to get a facelift, i think this feature is a must. Right now, my code can add a database and a table to the database using drag-n-drop (Not using PMA). There are a few UI bugs, removing which i'll upload the code. I do hope my idea gets implemented as it'll be a revolutionary change in the way a database is created using PMA. Thank You, Vipin Nair nair.vipin(a)ymail.com swvist(a)gmail.com

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Idea for Google Summer of Code - Cleaning up phpMyAdmin interface
by Ramindu Deshapriya 20 Mar '10

20 Mar '10

Hi, I am a student at the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka and I have 2 years experience working with PHP and MySQL. During this time I have made use of phpMyAdmin during all my projects involving MySQL and database management, therefore I would like to give something back to phpMyAdmin in the form of a GSoC Project. The project idea that interested me the most was 'cleaning up the interface' idea. I went through the feature requests that have been posted with regard to this idea, and I think I could manage to provide these requirements. It would also be interesting if I could collaborate with whoever is taking the 'AJAX for the interface' project and complete both projects as a combined effort. e.g. A feature that could be provided on the interface via AJAX could be, when the mouseover event is triggered on a specific database's name, a drop down Javascript list could be generated which would allow the user to select a specific table for viewing. Hope to hear your feedback on this. Thank You! -- Yours Truly, Ramindu Deshapriya.
