But usually you have to wait a second or two until the "yellow bubble" pops up, don't you? > Excuse my ignorance but what would a js tooltip add to > this behavior? I thought about a tooltip that pops up instantly. If you want an example, go to http://www.janaserver.de/start.php?lang=en and move your mouse over the top menu bar. Regards, Alexander

I disagree. Instead, we should think about how we could make our icons better. Text does take too much GUI space. This is basically why I'd prefer the iconic view. As a compromise, we could try to make some JS Tooltips that appear instantly next to the pointer if you move it over an icon. Regards, Alexander

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Little patch for little bug
by Mehdi 15 Sep '03

15 Sep '03

Hi all, I've found a small bug this morning on phpMyAdmin 2.5.1 in build_dump.lib.php Here's an unified diff of the fix (the mysql_free_result() call should be inside the if statement) : @@ -83,8 +83,8 @@ $schema_create .= '# ' . $GLOBALS['strStatCheckTime'] . ': ' . PMA_localisedDate(strtotime($tmpres['Check_time'])) . $crlf; $new_crlf = '#' . $crlf . $crlf; } - } mysql_free_result($result); + } } $schema_create .= $new_crlf; I've browsed the current CVS tree and this file seems to have been deleted, but I think the same problem is now in librairies/export/sql.php, line 169. Can someone fix it ? Cheers, Mehdi Achour - Nexen.net

[Phpmyadmin-devel] sort by key
by Marc Delisle 12 Sep '03

12 Sep '03

Hi Michal, It looks curious when I have some choices for "Sort by key", but the corresponding fields have not been SELECTed in the results. Maybe enable "Sort by key" only if the select expression is "*" ? Marc

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Re: [Phpmyadmin-cvs] CVS: phpMyAdmin ChangeLog,1.2742,1.2743

Hi Marc! > + * libraries/mysql_wrappers.lib.php3: bug 795443: wrong results coming > + from mysql_list_fields, so modify PMA_mysql_list_fields to use > + SELECT * FROM db.table LIMIT 1 > + (Thanks to Peter Beckman (ooglek)) I haven't looked into this, but your ChangeLog-entry rang a bell: Couldn' we instead use 'SHOW FIELDS FROM'...? I think that selecting the first row from a table could lead to performance issues. Like when you have a table having about 1MB binary data in a blog in the row, the database would have to fetch all data if understand correctly.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Improving Select sub-page
by Marc Delisle 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

Hi, On the Select sub-page (which I suggest we rename Search), I often have this problem: I enter some criteria, hit Go, and get results. But if I want to refine criteria, I cannot go back to my initial page. We could - display results in another window - display results in the same window, but have a link to go back to the initial page, with chosen criteria in place - display the criteria and the results on the same page Comments please.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] about arbitrary auth_type
by Marc Delisle 10 Sep '03

10 Sep '03

Hi, I find this a valuable addition. However, I suggest we use 'cookie' mode for it. The server choice list could be always expanded to add a choice like "other...", and when it is chosen, the field to enter the server name would be made visible. One less choice for configuration, keeps things more simple, avoid maintaining a seperated "arbitrary" script. Marc
