[Phpmyadmin-devel] about ErrorReporting and SendErrorReports
Hi Mohamed, Why do we need two configuration directives? I guess that instead of verifying whether ErrorReporting is true, we could just verify whether SendErrorReports is different than 'never' to load the js files. If you confirm my suggestion, I'll make the changes. -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

One was actually meant for the hoster of the phpmyadmin installation and one for the user. If you donot want the phpmyadmin deployer to have control over it you can remove it. I just thought this is a new system and if a fatal bug is not caught before a release we need to have an easy way for a deployer using that release to disable it. Or if for whatever reason the data is secretive enough that he diesnt want it on our publc servers if he doesnt trust it is anonymous enough.

Hosters can disable ErrorReporting and add it to UserprefsDisallow: $cfg['UserprefsDisallow'] = array('UserprefsDisallow'); That way users won't be able to override their settings. -- Regards, Piotr Przybylski

Yes, you are right. I just gave it as an example that it can be done with just one switch. -- Regards, Piotr Przybylski

I see what you mean. So we don't need the ErrorReporting directive. To block the feature completely, the deployer would do $cfg['SendErrorReports'] = 'never'; $cfg['UserprefsDisallow'] = array('SendErrorReports'); -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

Exactly, that's what this function is designed to do. We just need to add SendErrorReports to setup script in place of ErrorReporting. Then setup script will display a checkbox that allows for adding it to UserprefsDisallow in generated config (right aligned checkbox at [1]).
