Hi all,
As I am currently reviewing the configuration directives that are related to the navigation system, I'd like to share what I've done so far and also seek some advice.
So far, I've dropped the following 3 directives, as they won't really make any sense in pma 4: * AllowThirdPartyFraming * LeftFrameLight * DisplayDatabasesList
However I have a dilemma about some other directives. For example, the old navigation system used the MaxDbList and MaxTableList directives to decide how many items to render on a page. These directives are also used by other code to display lists of dbs and tables in the main frame. Anyway, I'd like to lower the default values for these directives from 100 and 250 respectively to 25. This is because the new navigation system has excellent pagination and filtering capabilities, and therefore I think that it would be better to save some vertical space. That said, I think that it would be better to introduce a new directive that will be only used in the navigation without affecting the display of items in the main frame. For example: $cfg['NavigationItemsPerPage'].
I also found the following two directives: ShowTooltipAliasDB and ShowTooltipAliasTB. These are currently unused in my branch as I'm not even sure what they do. Could someone please enlighten me on their purpose?
And as a last question: Many configuration directives that relate to the navigation start with "LeftFrame*", but as frames are being dropped is it better to rename them to "Navigation*"?
Bye, Rouslan
