Wow, those icons really look amazing! Your interface looks
like a completely different tool! :-)

I would so much LOVE to see that included into PMA, but I
guess we need a backwards compatible way or take the
Iconic-Option into account, because some users don't like to
see icons at all.

However I think we should use all of your supplied icons,
they're much better than our current ones.

It would be really cool if you could find the time to port
your patch to the 2.6.0-alpha release. It's already quite
stable, but code structure has changed on some places and is
also more XHTML compliant.

If you could to that, we just need a DIFF (can be created
with WinCVS, it's not hard) and see which changes exactly
you made.

Thanks a lot for your contribution, I'm seeing light at the
end of the tunnel. :-)

@garvinhicking

thanks...

the demo version is backwards compatible anyway, because
there are some many new options in config-file, so if users
don't like icons, they may be still use the old (text-based)
navigation and links, if they configure.

In all other files, which uses images or my modifications is a
checkup routine for the configured values.

I will patch soon as possible the new release, but first I must
find out how this WinCVS works for me (think I'm to be
newbie in this tools, I couldn't connect to server).

There are many changes in file structure and coding between
2.5.x and 2.6.0?

It looks really nice and I like how it looks :-).

Few comments:

- while browsing table, I get only 400px high div (IMHO
should be relative to window size) which can not be scrolled
with mouse wheel (this one is probably mozilla bug)

- header with database/server/table is added also to print
view, I don't thing it should be there

- you changed sort indication arrow direction, I guess
nobody would notice this when we wouldn't have bug report
for this recently :-)

- use title for image links, especially these in left frame
were unclear to me till I clicked them

- I do not like may nested tables, these constructions are
usually not needed - like
[...]</table></td></tr></table></td></tr>[...] in your
tbl_select.php.

- keep some alignment of HTML and short lines, it makes code
much more readable for others

- at least try to be valid XHTML 1.0 as this is what you
still declare in page headers - almost all img tags are not
closed, <td nowrap> is also not valid, etc. Simply validator
921 errors on browse page (with your pma_column_info table)
is TOO MUCH.

And one IMPORTANT: do not distribute your username/password
for MySQL, it is not much wise...

There were quite many changes in 2.6.0, some also affected
html code (recently I did some cleanup), but I do not thing
it will be hard to port your changes.

I agree to what Nijel pointed out. Regarding the config
options: Please try to reduce them to the shortest amount
possible. I see some options like border width/height could
be put inside the .css file and then a user could modify
that file instead of the config.

The changes for 2.6.0 shouldn't impose problems for you, I
think.

If you need any help with WinCVS, let me know (via email, if
you want and in german). Remember to access CVS with
anonymous access, as write access is only possible with a
developer account.

I'm so excited. :-)

Hey all,

okay I'm working on the new PMA at the moment.
Didn't know, how you like the look... now just I've something
to do now.
Sorry about my bad english (I'm German).

The nested tables are made for the f... old Netscape 4, or it
want not show the changes I've made. I dont like them really
too.

Okay alternative tags for images may be important.
The indication arrow shows the current sortorder (early it
shows what happend when it clicked). I've had a problem
with the original indication ;-)

XHTML 1.0 oops sorry... (I should change the Doctype of my
MM DW-MX editor next time, then it will support XHTML)

Arck my Datebase Login? - Terribble! But don't worry, it's my
own localhost at home without internet-connection ;-)
But I've put a new config.inc into the archiv...

Hopefully at sunday or so it will be finished...
I've working at normal job too :-D

I don't thing we need to make code to look it exactly same
in Netscape 4 as in modern browsers. I thing that just make
it work is enough.

And one more thing: please use png for graphics instead of gif.

Hey,

must the images really png instead of gif?
There are many of images (all transparent) and I've not all
sources of them anywhere (long time ago, when I've designed
them with PS). And my gifs are very small, somtetimes smaller
then png (in kilobytes).
Unisys will lost their patent on lzw-algorithm next time and
then gif should be free like png.

The Unisys patent is still valid in some countries.
Converting gifs to pngs is just typing one command line in
shell :-)

But I'm looking for convert the gifs to pngs...?
I must it to with other things (I'm not a linux guru).
But I will find the sources on cd at home... (puh ;)
so one PS-Coment may be same as your command-line on
shell ;)

I like your redesign. Perhaps we can still merge this for
2.6.0? :-)

Marc? :o)

Whats difference between converting gif to png and creating
png from sources? You should get equal images (unless you
use alpha channel in source).

2.6.0 is good time for design change, but we should delay
release for one or two weeks...

Hi,

now I've rebuild my icons to png's. There's no problem.
Some new icons available too (like forbidden, error, tipp,
warning ...)
The icons are ready now!

I'm patching now all files wich uses icons.
The file main.php may be ready for include...
take a look at the posted file...

Note:
Some images are named as the original, please do not
replace the originals now, because the files wich need the
originals are not patched.

Best regards

the patched files (only the patched are included)

Hi,

I've made some modifications to your ZIP file.

First of all, I've patched all files against our CVS HEAD
branch. Please use our CVS tree instead of 2.6.0-alpha1 for
your modifications, as this would be easier to maintain.

The next thing is that you did not update config_import.lib,
so my running your patch with my devel config file spits out
lots of warnings. I added the missing directives to our
backwards compatibility library.

Thanks for your great work!

I've merged the icons with Michal's list-layout and moved
all references to the new icons to the CSS file.

The new version of my patch against the patch (*g*) is
attached to the tracker.

Hi,

thanks ...
now I'm still working on PMA and there's many to do for
redesign, but it will be done soon.

But my biggest problem:
can anybody explain me how the cvs is used and how it
workss (perhaps WinCVS). I've searched google for csv but
I've not found any good tutorial (and I think there will be
nothing in german language?)
Thanks!
If have CVS, then I may be using the CVS version.... ;)
