The Idea behind enabling and disabling AJAX is that I
am trying to develop
it as a plug-in to the existing code, and the user can choose not to use
this feature. Since PMA is also being used by many hosting sites apart from
personal users, this may be up to the discretion of the service provider to
use this plug-in. he may uninstall this plug-in by changing the
cfg['advancedAjaxInterface'] to FALSE and the plug-in even it is installed
will be inactive and if the user(service provider) feels like people should
use this plug-in he just have to change the value of the above mentioned
variable.
Let's forget about making plugin, you will really have to touch lot of
code (or duplicate it), so it really can not be separated.
I have past experiences with Ajax and a few of them
are not pretty gud. At
times when using ajax, on a slow connection (or for a busy server), this
becomes a problem more than a feature. this does not make AJAX intrusive but
on the contrary provides a flexibility to either use or do not use this
functionality (for the person who has installed PMA ) .
And that only answered part of the question, why do you need two
configuration options?
Yes, it probably makes sense to have single option to disable AJAX.
This is for the user to make a choice whether or not
he wants to use this
feature or not. Say, he has to log in remotely, of from a different browser
which does not support JAVASCRIPT. Even though this can be detected but what
about old browsers (IE-6 etc which support javascript but are pretty slow
with JavaScript and may bore the user to death :) ) and slow
net-connections(say the user is using in prime-time). The user may need to
just load a basic html view and this drop-down box provides him an option
to do that. However the default view takes care of the the graceful
degradation even if JavaScript is not enabled, (or present). Also if the
user chooses to use the Advanced UI and if javascript is not present or
enabled PMA will switch back to the normal view as it isnow with an alert to
the user.
The same technique is being used by ZIMBRA <http://www.zimbra.com/> and
GMAIL.
Well I don't think this should be handled so specially. For now, use
just setting in config file and user will be able to change it once per
user preferences will be implemented (hopefully someone will finish it
this GSoC).
Can a git repository be accessed through a http proxy
like squid?
