I've tested a few things today, here is a little something to (re-)open the discussion :)
Unfortunately, the setup script I started a long time ago seems to be lost. If you want to take over this RFE, feel free to do so. :-)
:-) well, can you describe a little bit how your script worked? what was your idea?
What about something simple like that? : http://www.phpmyadmin.net/swix_pma/setup/
This is a good start, but it's almost as "complicated" as filling out the config itself. :-)
yep, that's right, that would be more for "advanced users" than for starters. The positive things are that you can create your file directely while watching the docs, and that it doesn't require a lot of of work on our side.
A setup script should guide novice users through the configuration step by step. It should detect what php / MySQL version the user is running and which extensions are available, ask the user what his copy of phpMyAdmin is intended for and offer the best configuration variables based on that information.
ok, +1 :-)
