Hi,
how about add an 'Registration' in main.php which leads to local registration form
this form could collect, of course after explaining and asking for permission:
- number of servers/databases/tables handled with this installation - currently installed versions of PHP, PMA, MySQL - used extension mysql, mysqli - changed configuration (different from default) - used theme - registration information (email, name, company, ... ) - hash of installation path (as unique id for installation) - hash of server connection string (as unique id for servers) - a free textfield for additional comments
this can be stored local, or at least a hash over all, to recognize changes and update registration
and of course in the phpMyAdmin project database
so we can
- make most used settings to default - send security alerts on specific versions - statistics on used versions - and much more ...
Hi Sebastian, I guess that if we implement this, the registration form should be displayed only to a super-user. But I'm not sure I like the idea, for those reasons: - I would not like to have to handle all this data - I think that users would have a negative perception, seeing "registration" - if we use the project database for this, we would have to remove our demo (believe me, for security reasons) - the whole user settings system should migrate to db-based user preferences, and/or an installation GUI - about the alerts, we already send them, with indications on the affected versions I think that download stats about themes indicate correctly the popularity. Besides, each user of a multi-user installation can choose his theme, so you want each user to participate in the registration? Marc
