Hi

Messages like 'A newer version of ...' and 'Directory config, which is used by the setup..' should not be displayed to user because they shouldn't be able to change/ update those things. Only the main user/ root should receive these.

Users would only become confused upon seeing these.

Hi,

I agree with the idea that the messages might not be displayed to everyone, but... Not that it might be only displayed to root user. Why? Because when phpMyAdmin is used in companies, the root user might not be used, so nobody would be notified by these messages.

So, if it's not everybody and not only root, is there another way to define the users to notify?

Hi,

I agree with the idea as well. I think, we can have by default root user as the admin and have a config option with value username of admin user. Also, ideally it should allow to make multiple(comma separated list of usernames as value) or all(may be value "all") users as admin. So here all admin users get notification. I'm not sure this the right way, there might be better way(may be without config change) to achieve this. Any other suggestions ?

Regards,

I don't think it would work this way - most users are lazy and won't set it up. I think on shared hosting the maintainer of the server will almost never use phpMyAdmin, so he won't see the notification anyway, so best way to handle it there is to set $cfg['VersionCheck'] = false;.

The use case for this feature is single user installing phpMyAdmin for his own and he should get these notifications regardless username he has in MySQL.
