Hello,
I've tested a few things today, here is a little something to (re-)open the discussion :) I think it would be nice if PMA would have a simple configuration generator, like in many other projects:
What about something simple like that? : http://www.phpmyadmin.net/swix_pma/setup/
Scoll to the end of the page to find the [generate] button.
It's based on the orginal Documentation.html, with some special "cfgen" tags, which are simply parsed by the setup/index.php script. (look at the .html source of the original http://www.phpmyadmin.net/swix_pma/Documentation.html )
source: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/swix_pma/setup/index.phps and http://www.phpmyadmin.net/swix_pma/setup/generate.phps
The generate.php script needs a special version of the config.inc.php files (with lines like: "$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = '%%blowfish_secret%%'; ")
Do you think something like that would be good? Is that the right way? Feedback welcome :)
regards & have a nice week-end, Olivier
