[Phpmyadmin-devel] Better table navigation
Hi all, Current table navigation seems to be little messy, so I tried to make the table navigation tidier and more compact. You may see the screenshot at [0] or try the demo at usual location [1]. Feel free to give any comment or suggestion on this. [0] https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Xs_dOR1F0WoXW4_dTB1CLhOTKK2V2rX6_OFfHt... [1] http://demo.phpmyadmin.net/gsoc-aris -- Aris Feryanto

Aris, removing "page number" might be a good idea, but I'm not sure about combining the two lines as more horizontal space is needed. It's true that the right side of it is used less often. We could remove the "horizontal (rotated headers)" feature and this would help shorten the line :) What about shorter phrases like: Show [Start row X] [Number of rows X] [Mode X] [Headers every X rows] Here "Show" is the button. (I always found difficult to understand that in the current phrase, we first indicate the number of rows then the starting row). -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

This is great, I've also found the navigation pretty messy but couldn't come up with a good idea. But as Marc mentions, the bar needs to get smaller. On my X61s Thinkpad with only a resolution of 1024x768 a big part will be outside the visible area. Making the horizontal/vertical select list smaller would be one step (or removing it altogether)

Seeing very few positive feedback on the devel and users list about the vertical browse mode, I am in favor of removing this feature. Or ...we could make the appearance of this select list configurable, the default being not visible. This way, people relying on this very old feature could configure it if they want to, but for the majority, the selector would be out of the way. If we decide to do this, we should remove vertical support for the special features like inline edit and the column reordering. All the new stuff would be planned only for horizontal mode. -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

Sounds like a good idea. Making it invisible by default, then check how many people complain about its disappearance ;-) Then, if only little people notice the change, it could be removed completely altogether.

I think making it invisible by default is a good step towards removing vertical mode support. As Tyron said, we can check if there is complain about it. Btw, (just to make sure) if we really want to remove the vertical support, it will be done in the next version after 3.5, isn't it? -- Aris Feryanto

I was hoping to remove it for 3.5; in fact, a quick decision about this would give clear indications to GSoC 2011 students (I know it's a bit late but at least, it would help for the rest of GSoC 2011). -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

Probably easier to ask who disagrees ;-) I'd suggest to hide the feature / disable by default first, then remove it in the next version.

We already know that some persons disagree.

In current master, the display mode selector is now hidden by default. I suggest to remove all js code that deals with special features for vertical display mode. For example in js/sql.js for the appendInlineAnchor() function, the first "if" would become empty. The results of this would be that inline edit for rows would appear just for horizontal display mode. -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

Well, as mentioned before, my suggestion would be to remove it in a future version only. Or is there any reason why it should be removed now?

Hi Tyron, I think the reason is like what Marc has written: "a quick decision about this would give clear indications to GSoC 2011 students", IMHO. Some of GSoC-ers may have to deal with features supporting vertical mode. The removal will give a better direction about how to implement these features. The benefit will be simpler and cleaner code. -- Aris Feryanto

Ah, alright. But from what I've seen the code for vertical and horizontal mode is fairly separate. Is it causing much trouble to one of the gsoc projects? Anyway, since we can always revert any changes to the code (if vertical mode turns out to be really needed), feel free to remove it. Clean code is always good.
