[Phpmyadmin-devel] saving server, db and table in cookie
Hi, i would like to introduce saving server, db and table in cookie too, but only checked in index.php so a user will always return to the last opened server/db/table // with true phpMyAdmin will save last opened server/db/table in a // cookie and restore it when phpMyAdmin re-opens $cfg['RememberLastPosition'] = true; -- Sebastian Mendel www.sebastianmendel.de

Good idea.

I think this would be better if configured per user, but we don't have framework for that... -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

OK.

I would avoid adding another config parameter. I don't see why someone would not be happy to see his last server/db/table. Fear of having more cookies? Marc

I would not be happy, because I work on different database most time :-) -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

When you return to the same db, you would be happy. When you have to switch, you have to choose it anyway from the left panel. So ? Marc

Ok I see your point. On a multi-user installation of PMA, how a $cfg['RememberLastPosition'] (be it true of false) will please everyone? Marc

with set to false, phpMyAdmin can present a link on the main.php that will 'warp' them to the last opened object -- Sebastian Mendel www.sebastianmendel.de

Not a bad idea! So PMA would always remember these in a cookie; Michal has a problem with what PMA does with what is remembered :) The setting could be named ShowLastPosition, true would warp automatically and false would provide a warp link. Marc

ShowLastPosition = false Should automatically switch to last position? This is confusing, isn't it? -- Sebastian Mendel www.sebastianmendel.de

ShowLastPosition = true automatically switches to last position ShowLastPosition = false provides a link to go to last position
Or call it "AutoLastPosition".

AutoLastPosition does imply the automatic idea. But if the team prefers Remember, no problem. It's just that "remember" for me means "store in a cookie", not what you do with what is remembered. Marc

ShowLastPosition = false means that phpMyAdmin remembers position? It's confustion. I think RememberLastPosition is better (and when it's false, link will be shown). -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

I said that true goes automatically and false provides a link.
I think RememberLastPosition is better (and when it's false, link will be shown).

No way :-). We should finally move to per user configuration... -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

like letting the user choose lang,theme, and now even fontsize :) why not a litte checkbox "remember table" or "always save position" on main.php ? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/saving-server%2C-db-and-table-in-cookie-tf2038121.html...

good idea , but only everything what is useful for the user and is not server dependent. maybe on a "separate userconfig" page. just my 2cent. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/saving-server%2C-db-and-table-in-cookie-tf2038121.html...

This is a new feature we have been discussing for many years: user preferences in pmadb. A separate page as you say would be important. Marc

You are right, but I still think that we should not add too many cookies. Besides, using pmadb would enable possible sysadmin interventions in terms of correcting user preferences in case of problems, implementing site-specific default for them, etc. marc
an option is "cookies" as they are mandatory now. You are right, but I still think that we should not add too many cookies. i think of only one pma_cookie with "bitcoded options" as most parameters are boolean.
Besides, using pmadb would enable possible sysadmin interventions in terms of correcting user preferences in case of problems, implementing site-specific default for them, etc. ok (if the isp has not too many users. BTW is there any info available, which isp serves how many users via pma ?)

I can tell you at my school that there are 440 MySQL student accounts all using a single PMA installation. PMA project has a bug entry for an installation having thousands of databases, probably just not one user :) Marc

Yes :) my FF profile (+ cookies) follows me on the network; OK it does not follow me at home, you win :) Marc

ok, that is a striking argument. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/saving-server%2C-db-and-table-in-cookie-tf2038121.html... Sent from the phpmyadmin-devel forum at Nabble.com.
