[Phpmyadmin-devel] Server variables and settings page help - ID: 3196075
Hi, I am Samiran and new to phpmyadmin development. I found a task for juniors at http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/Tasks_for_junior_developers about server variables reference link. I want to work on it. I wont be able to make it as my GSOC project as I have not submitted any patch in this community nor other. I checked the mysql reference manual. I do not find all the description are not in a single file and also its id(for variable link) is unpredictable. So, I suggest to make a table where we would store the variable along with its description link. But this fails when mysql website moves its page to another location. "I could not figure it out about performance critical variables." I would like to work in it and I really need a mentor, to work with the community.

We already handle this, all you need to find is proper link to the documentation (see PMA_showMySQLDocu function).
"I could not figure it out about performance critical variables."
I also have no idea what reporter meant in this case, I think it should be clarified in the report. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

Thanks Michal. So, now I will have to store (because its difficult to identify the page of the reference variable) the link somewhere along with the variable name. I can than get the link back for each variable which I will have to pass to PMA_showMySQLDocu to generate the link and place it in the server_variables.php file. I guess this would work. Please suggest whether my approach is correct or not and would this be the best solution.

Yes, you need to store the mapping somewhere, I guess following code would do that: $VARIABLE_DOC_LINKS = array( 'basedir' => array('server-options', 'option_mysqld_basedir'), ); And on listing variables: $doclink = $VARIABLE_DOC_LINKS[$name]; echo PMA_showMySQLDocu($doclink[0], $doclink[0], $doclink[1]); -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com
I have completed fixing this issue. I want to make patch now. I also need some help for placement of files. I have created three tables with values in phpmyadmin database from which I use to pull the documentation link. I have the sql file but where this thing must be placed so that it executes at its setup. Someone please let me know as early as possible as I am eager to release my first patch :D and let others to test it.

Please have a look in the doc for "phpMyAdmin configuration storage" http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/Documentation.html#linked-tables this is where we document how users will create these tables.
Someone please let me know as early as possible as I am eager to release my first patch :D and let others to test it.

Hi, about patch submitting, maybe you are not familiar with GSoC 2011 timeline: http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2011/tim... Basically, we'll learn on March 18 whether phpMyAdmin has been accepted as a mentoring organization for 2011. Then students have until April 8 to send a proposal. So starting from today you have about a month to submit a phpMyAdmin patch. -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

Hi Marc, Thanks for your advice. I am trying hard to submit my first patch to this community. If successfully I would definitely apply in GSoC 2011.
