[Phpmyadmin-devel] stable-branch todo
by Olivier M. 04 Jun '01

04 Jun '01

'morning As some of you told me, it would be soon the time to release a stable version of the current tree. What in your opinon must be done before ? Here a few personal ideas: please comment or add your ideas: [ ] fix the mysql_select_db($db) problem (cf. my other post an hour ago) [ ] fix (or if it's too much work: move to the -devel tree) the user administration routines (cf. other post) [ ] create a FAQ file or page (look at the questions asked on http://www.phpwizard.net/phorum/list.php?f=1 : they are almost always the same...) [ ] table view (tbl_properties) : move the "Table type:" at the end of the page, as well as the "Table comments:" input field. But display the comment (if any) under the title (Database ___ - table \n $comment) [ ] table view (tbl_properties): move the "Select" and "Insert" links higher (before "Check table") : important functions should be higher on the page than functions used less often. [ ] what about using bigger input fields and textareas while editing records ? Dynamicaly (if length of field < 40, show a field of the right size, otherwise show a field of size 40), or by adding 3 variables to the config file (text_field_length, textarea_rows_nb, textarea_cols_nb...) [ ] update CREDITS, DEVELOPERS, README files [ ] record editing: remove "insert new row" if we are not editing an entry (inserting a new one), and rename the button as "Insert as a new row" (will need a new text label I guess). [ ] when creating a new table (table view -> create table): what about ignoring fields when the field name is empty ? When creating a table, I (and probalby others :) not always know exactley how many fields I need. What do you think? Would be more user-friendly. [ ] (low priority) add an "about phpmyadmin" page to the code, like for example http://admin.omnis.ch/admin2/?A=about (containg the most important links, feedback form, etc.) [ ] try to contact all the translators to let them update their files... (they should all be on the translators mailing list : would be the easiest I guess). [x] have a nice week-end :) Cheers, Olivier -- _________________________________________________________________ Olivier Mueller - om(a)8304.ch - PGPkeyID: 0E84D2EA - Switzerland qmail projects: http://omail.omnis.ch - http://webmail.omnis.ch

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Access denied for user: 'wwwrun@localhost' in /home/admin/www/mysql/lib.inc.php3 on line 6
by Olivier M. 04 Jun '01

04 Jun '01

Hello, Currently trying the latest "stable" tree, and since the "mysql_db_query deprecate" (lem9, http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/phpmyadmin/phpMyAdmin/lib.in… ), I get this error... (php4.0.5, using adv_auth and std_auth). Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'wwwrun@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /home/admin/www/mysql/lib.inc.php3 on line 6 Warning: MySQL: A link to the server could not be established in /home/admin/www/mysql/lib.inc.php3 on line 6 In the setup, the user is "mysql", not "wwwrun" (that is the webserver id). Isn't this a bug ? :) Also tried the new "user admin feature": just look great, but also also maybe not ready: GRANT Select, Insert, Update, Delete, Create, Drop, Reload, Shutdown, Process, File, References, Index, Alter ON cyphor.* TO 'olivier'@'%' with grant option MySQL a répondu: Can't find any matching row in the user table --> on my mysql server, ther user-table looks like that: CREATE TABLE user ( Host char(60) NOT NULL, User char(16) NOT NULL, Password char(16) NOT NULL, Select_priv enum('N','Y') DEFAULT 'N' NOT NULL, Insert_priv enum('N','Y') DEFAULT 'N' NOT NULL, Update_priv enum('N','Y') DEFAULT 'N' NOT NULL, Delete_priv enum('N','Y') DEFAULT 'N' NOT NULL, Create_priv enum('N','Y') DEFAULT 'N' NOT NULL, Drop_priv enum('N','Y') DEFAULT 'N' NOT NULL, Reload_priv enum('N','Y') DEFAULT 'N' NOT NULL, Shutdown_priv enum('N','Y') DEFAULT 'N' NOT NULL, Process_priv enum('N','Y') DEFAULT 'N' NOT NULL, File_priv enum('N','Y') DEFAULT 'N' NOT NULL, Grant_priv enum('N','Y') DEFAULT 'N' NOT NULL, References_priv enum('N','Y') DEFAULT 'N' NOT NULL, Index_priv enum('N','Y') DEFAULT 'N' NOT NULL, Alter_priv enum('N','Y') DEFAULT 'N' NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (Host, User) ); so the fields name are not corresponding... Maybe a mysql-version compatiiblity problem ? (MySQL 3.23.30-gamma) Loic: thanks for your NS4-display fixes: now looks and works perfect, merci :) Regards & thanks for your work! It these bugs can be fixed this week-end, what about a new pre-release next week, and then a _real_ release ?

Hi, we got a suggestion in the forum: "phpMyAdmin looks nicer with a font-size of 8pt in header.inc.php (body,th,td,form)" I tried it and I like it better. Feedback? Marc

[Phpmyadmin-devel] releases: pre4 and alpha-20010604 snapshot
by Olivier M. 03 Jun '01

03 Jun '01

Bonsoir, good evening, Just released on the project download page: *** "stable": 2.2.0pre4 *** http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin-2.2.0pre4.tar.gz *** "unstable/devel": 2.3.0alpha-20010604 *** http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin-2.3.0alpha-2001060… I still get the warnings in lib.inc.php3 on line 6 (with pre4), but it seems I'm the only one, so nothing against a release. And this way we'll surely get some more feedback. Now that we got the Ok from Tobias, what about a 2.2.0-final before the start of the summer ? (2-3 weeks). The "Feature Request" page is now uptodate ( http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=377411&group_id=23067&func=browse ), please simply pick (and assign yourself) what you want :) Regards, Olivier -- _________________________________________________________________ Olivier Mueller - om(a)8304.ch - PGPkeyID: 0E84D2EA - Switzerland qmail projects: http://omail.omnis.ch - http://webmail.omnis.ch

Re: [Phpmyadmin-devel] $cfgMaxInputsize
by Loïc 21 May '01

21 May '01

Hi Marc! [About bug ] Sorry not to have replied to your previous mail: as phpMyAdmin doesn't work at all with NN4.75 for win I can't test the bug... The solution you suggest (an error message if text size > 32 ko) seems convenient IMHO. [About style="width:...] >However, it doesn't work in Netscape 4.x, but works in >IE 5. Is this style="width: " an IE extension? Nope but the implementation of CSS2 in NN4 is really crappy. About this selector itself, you may have a look at these addresses: http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/css/properties/dimension/width.htm http://css.nu/pointers/bugs.html#NN4 Once again, your solution is the good one as far as we want to keep phpMyAdmin 'Netsbug' compliant.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] $cfgMaxInputsize
by Marc Delisle 21 May '01

21 May '01

Hi, this variable is used at some places in phpMyAdmin, in input fields and textareas: tbl_properties.inc.php3: <input type="text" name="comment" style="width: <?php echo $cfgMaxInputsize;?>" maxlength="80"> However, it doesn't work in Netscape 4.x, but works in IE 5. Is this style="width: " an IE extension? I suggest to add a variable that we could use as the COLS attribute of TEXTAREAs. -- Marc Delisle Service de l'informatique Collège de Sherbrooke, Québec

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Bug #422188
by Marc Delisle 21 May '01

21 May '01

Hi, doing research about this bug (editing large blobs), I was able to see a TEXT field of 1,030,000 bytes in the textarea. However, I can't type or modify anything in the TEXTAREA. Anyone has an idea why? PS: Netscape 4.7 -- Marc Delisle Service de l'informatique Collège de Sherbrooke, Québec

by Olivier M. 21 May '01

21 May '01

Hello, Just repackaged and "re-released" the 2.2.0pre3 including the latest bugfixes: just saw that somebody announced it on freshmeat this morning, but without any changes description :( Is "ZapZap" on this devel list ? Next time, please at least do a resumee of the important changes: there were lots of improvements between pre2 and pre3!
