Actually, It's such a big work that it should come in 3.0 and not before :) I think quite everything has to be changed. It's like restarting from scratch. PhpGroupWare people have really spend a lot of time on their kernel desing to acheive such modularity capabilities. PhpMyAdmin was definitely never designed for that. Tobias had not that time to spend on it.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] [locati@users.sourceforge.net: proposal]
by Olivier M. 10 Aug '01

Hello, Just got this interesting mail from Stefano. I guess it's better if we discuss that on this list... I think the idea is fine, but also that we _first_ should finish the 2.2.0 release before working on any new (even if cool) feature. Otherwise we will have rc5, rc6, ... rc99 like the linux kernel :) Comments welcome! Swix, going back to school work (preparing exams) ----- Forwarded message from Stefano Locati <locati(a)users.sourceforge.net> ----- Subject: proposal From: Stefano Locati <locati(a)users.sourceforge.net> Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2001 04:07:46 -0700 i'm a user of phpMyAdmin since long time and i'm seeing it improving and getting better and better. i've an idea about a future feature that i need and that i would develop myself and also share with others. it's about db documentation. i'm working on many websites projects and keeping an uptodate db documentation is a problem. i don't want to use commercial tools like the good power designer. what i would like is something very simple in phpmyadmin style. i would add another link after the common browse - select - insert. A documentation link that would allow any person to write information about the db tables and fields. the next step would be info about relationship. this information would be stored in three db tables. i would add a button to create those tables in the case they were not detected in the current db. the metaschema of the db would be extracted giving the possibility to just click side of a field / table to document it. i would work on a cvs copy without committing until the software isn't good enough for at least a test drive. i've experience with php and cvs. the tables i would add would be something like: sch_table(name, description) sch_field(name, tablename, description) sch_relationship(name1, tablename1, name2, tablename2, description) what do you think about this? i'm open to start a discussion phase with members of this project about the willingness to include such feature, and how to do it. bye and keep up with the good work stefano ----- End forwarded message ----- -- _________________________________________________________________ Olivier Mueller - om(a)8304.ch - PGPkeyID: 0E84D2EA - Switzerland qmail projects: http://omail.omnis.ch - http://webmail.omnis.ch

[Phpmyadmin-devel] left.php suggestions
by Dan Allen 10 Aug '01

10 Aug '01

Here is a patch for tuning left.php to be more style and option friendly...any global variables that you see that are not in the config.inc.php I have obviously added and you need to to the same if you want to use this left.php... The easiest and must exciting change is the addition of a title attribute to the table links (so that the table name pops up when you fly over the table if you are using even a halfway decent browser)...helpful for long table names. If anyone is interested in seeing it all in action, or wants to get some ideas about what I came up with, check out http://65.5.154.16/phpMyAdmin/ There is no real data on the site, so just be polite and view only... p.s. I patched the rc4 version Enjoy! Dan

Hi Marc & all! About the binary bug found by steve, Marc wrote: >Is someone working on this? Gess what: yes ;) Indeed the problem exist whathever is the variable type: since there is no backup of the current value and we have to replace double quotes by & quot; in html fields values, a sql field not changed by the user may be seen as changed by tbl_replace.php3. I'm also working on enum's problem at the same time.

You don't like original colors and display, do you ? :) If it were not written, it would be hard to say it's really phpMyAdmin! Anyway, templates like in phpGroupWare would be the best way to provide easy customization, but the current design is not suitable for that. We should choose between some customization with some cfg variables and a better design allowing themes.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] error in defines.inc.php
by Dan Allen 10 Aug '01

10 Aug '01

In defines.inc.php in rc4 it tries to get the mysql version, even if the $server variable is set to 0, as it is if no default server is set to start with...simply add an if($server) around this last part of defines.inc.php Dan

[Phpmyadmin-devel] style preferences
by Dan Allen 10 Aug '01

10 Aug '01

I really think that phpMyAdmin needs more configuration variables...It is fine to go ahead and give them defaults which many people will not change, but if someone does want to tune the look, it is really difficult now. Here is a general suggestion to start out... Everytime a table is used with this code <table border="<?php echo $cfgBorder; ?>"> It should instead be <table border="<?php echo $cfgBorder; ?>" cellspacing="<?php echo $cfgSpacing; ?>" cellpadding="<?php echo $cfgPadding; ?>"> Here are my other suggestions: - Have a variable for font size (and since windows and unix handle font sizes so differently there should be OS sniffing to scale the size) - Like W3C recommends, font-sizes should be in em and not in pt - There should be more color preferences...such as link color backgrounds for hover and all that I have patches for most of this stuff, but phpMyAdmin is changing so fast I just can't get a patch made that will work with the version...obviously I need to learn CVS, but at least I can make suggestions while I am learning. Please comment on the ideas. Dan Allen
