[Phpmyadmin-devel] about $cfg[PropertiesNumColumns]
by Marc Delisle 11 Jul '06

11 Jul '06

Hi, can someone explain the purpose of this? In a db with 22 tables, if I set this parameter to 6, I get 6 groups of table names. Why is this named PropertiesNumColumns? Marc

[Phpmyadmin-devel] $is_superuser and ShowPhpInfo
by Marc Delisle 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

Hi, after this change: http://phpmyadmin.cvs.sourceforge.net/phpmyadmin/phpMyAdmin/main.php?r1=2.8… we no longer present the "Show PHP information" to superusers if $cfg['ShowPhpInfo'] is false. But, our doc says: $cfg['ShowPhpInfo'] boolean $cfg['ShowChgPassword'] boolean $cfg['ShowCreateDb'] boolean Defines whether to display the "PHP information" and "Change password " links and form for creating database or not for simple users at the starting main (right) frame. This setting does not check MySQL commands entered directly. As I read this doc, it seems to apply to "simple users". So I would like to revert to previous behavior. IMO, a superuser should always see this link. The intention of the ShowPhpInfo parameter was to block this information for simple users -- well, at least, to block displaying the link. Marc

Under phpMyAdmin heading is all that is configured inside phpMyAdmin or related to the phpMyAdmin installation. -- Sebastian

[Phpmyadmin-devel] lost quotes in cfg (Documentation.html)
by Marc Delisle 09 Jul '06

09 Jul '06

Hi, I just noticed that at revision 2.190, http://phpmyadmin.cvs.sourceforge.net/phpmyadmin/phpMyAdmin/Documentation.h… the naming of almost all configuration parameters changed and quotes were lost, for example from $cfg['blowfish_secret'] to $cfg[blowfish_secret] I guess this was not intentional?

[Phpmyadmin-devel] PEAR coding standards about require_once
by Marc Delisle 08 Jul '06

08 Jul '06

Hi, don't you feel that something is not consistent between http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.including.php and http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.control.php "require_once" and "if" are both statements, so why does the PEAR standard say that you need parenthesis for "if" and not for "require_once"?

[Phpmyadmin-devel] font sizes, css, IE quirks mode, scrollbars
by Sebastian Mendel 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, at the moment phpMyAdmin forces IE into quirks mode, what makes most of the current CSS problems removing the XML declaration enables standard compliance mode for IE, what makes IE to behave 'more' towards the CSS standards but this also reveals the horizontal/vertical scrollbar bug IE displays a unneeded/unwanted horizontal scroll bar as soon as it display a vertical scrollbar, whether the horizontal scrollbar is required or not. there is no satisfying solution on the web (most just completely remove the horizontal scroll bar or display them always) i have figured out some possible solutions: http://sebastianmendel.de/ie_scrollbar_bug/frameset.htm the first two uses conditional CSS, the first seems to be make problems, the second seems to work fine - just the space between window-border and content is now between scrollbar and window and not between scrollbar and content the third is a (bot complete) JavaScript solution - -- Sebastian Mendel www.sebastianmendel.de -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (MingW32) iD8DBQFEq4+IX/0lClpZDr4RAgNaAKCdw1fw1CAcubxTZgrwH6kF5JVu0wCfcKdq N78O1MofDCr/umrQ+0tUG04= =IVnB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[Phpmyadmin-devel] config.inc.php (again)
by Marc Delisle 04 Jul '06

04 Jul '06

Hi, I would like to reopen the discussion about this issue. I know you're tired of it, but there are lots of problems for users. I noticed at least one distro that just copy our libraries/config.default.php into ../config.inc.php! Unfortunately, many users do not read the doc about installation, and even for some who did read it, there are still problems: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1471501&group_id=… Having to close all browser windows is another thing that is not evident for many. For some reasons, the setup script is not as popular as we hoped (probably due to the directory manipulations related to its use). My opinion is that we have to think about was it "normal" and expected for the configuration of OSS products. Is it too late to revert to our old way of keeping BC by compensating with code for missing options? If it's too late, what about having a config-dist.inc.php that would contain the minimum lines (one server section connecting to localhost with root and no password). People could copy it into config.inc.php and be more happy. Marc
