Hi,

My name is Mohit Goyal and I am a 3rd year undergraduate in BITS Pilani K.K. Birla Goa Campus. I am new to the open-source community and thought I would start with PHPMyAdmin as I have used it in projects before.

To start understanding the codebase, I thought I would start with one of the bugs listed. The bug I started with was Bug #4184 Switch to Wrong Page After Adding Index : https://sourceforge.net/p/phpmyadmin/bugs/4184/

While trying to figure out the issue, I did the following :

In libraries/structure.lib.php, in lines 1835 - 1845 ( in function - PMA_getHtmlForActionRowInStructureTable() )

Removed line : ($hasLinkClass ? 'class="ajax add_primary_key_anchor" ' : '')

Added Line : 'class="ajax" '

As a result, I am getting a javascript function that enables editing of the index ( adding names and comments etc. ). I have also attached a screenshot for the same. The indexes are being added and the original issue of switching back to the wrong page is solved.

However, I think that this particular functionality had been disabled initially as the function had been pre-written. Can anybody please shed some light on this ?

Thanks

Warm Regards,
