[Phpmyadmin-devel] Merging server pages
I'd like to merge some of the server pages, so that we have a smaller menu and less links ending up in the 'More' tab. What I have done already is put the processes table into the status page as it fits very well into the server traffic (jquery-)tab. And secondly I would merge together Engines, Charsets, Replication and Variables into a (jquery-)tab-separated page named "Configuration" Since an average user rarely requires the information supplied on those pages I think it is a good idea to free up the space in the menu bar. Any objections on this? :)

All links fit with 1440px wide screens (unless you are root and see all tabs, then you need 1600px). I think moving all these tabs deeper into navigation structure is pointless. While Processes can go there (they are related to server's current, live status), Variables, Engines and Charsets are about global configuration and don't change during server's operation. I think they should stay where they are now. -- Regards, Piotr Przybylski

Processes could go to the status page, but this would have to be well communicated. I think this page is used quite often, so moving it to another tab will cause confusion. IMO, the Variables, Engines and Charsets page are used less frequently, at least I don't check them that much. I think they make a better candidate to be grouped together in a 'Configuration' (or another name) tab, to make room in the tab bar. Replication doesn't belong in this group and should still be available as a separate tab. Kind regards, Dieter

You're right here, disappearing tab might cause some confusion here.

Indeed these are not much used. But moving them to end of menu is IMHO better idea than to group them together...

Indeed. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

Just got a merge conflict while trying to merge back from master and found some oddity. In your commit you removed the link to the binary log. Was that on purpose? Commitdiff on repo.or.cz: http://repo.or.cz/w/phpmyadmin.git/blobdiff/80701c70cf5ab0d78d05a24060c5c356...

It's just moved as well, it's removed in one place and added further in the code. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

Oh, right. Must've overlooked that.

Yea, having only the processes tab disappear into "Server traffic" is pretty misleading. hm. If I don't find a clever naming for this I will revert my this again in my repos.

Why not simply move the rarely used menu tabs to the right side? -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

Yes, if there are any issues with them (have we got any reports about cluttered menu?) this would be the best solution. -- Piotr Przybylski

Yea, thats also a solution. Though, the processes I would still put together as it's such a nice fit.. Traffic - Connections - Processes. Also I'm about to implement some realtime charting for connections and processes (into the same chart).
All links fit with 1440px wide screens (unless you are root and see all tabs, then you need 1600px). I think moving all these tabs deeper into navigation structure is pointless.
Well, as for me I am currently working on a ThinkPad X61s where I got a res of 1024x768 and here I have 6 pages grouped into the 'More'-Menu. Most of the small notebooks still got a small resolution.
