[Bobs-devel] .. responsible for gui ? / changing of structure ["list"]

[Jochen M. <ml...@om...>]

Hi,

who did the concept for the gui?
Joe or Rene?

What I think about, is if it is possible to change the "list" item
in config.

The advantage would be, that one could seperate option and value,
which would be better if a option should be longer.

I am running into problems, creating another backup method in the 
options.

At present:
<option value="rsync">rsync</option>
<option value="rsync_ssh">rsync_ssh</option>

Could be:
<option value="rsync">rsync (using daemon)</option>
<option value="rsync_ssh">rsync (using ssh)</option>

Only two changings would be necessary for this:

1. definition in config.php.in
now:
$server_defs["backup_method"]["list"]["0"]      = "rsync";
then:
$server_defs["backup_method"]["list"]["rsync"]  = "rsync (using
daemon)";

2. little changing in "html_list":
gui.pinc

now:

  
        foreach ($options as $option){
            $html .= "<option value=\"$option\"";
            if ($value == $option) {
                $html .= " selected";
            }
            $html .= ">$option\n";
        }

then:
foreach ($options as $index => $option){
            $html .= "<option value=\"$index\"";
            if ($value == $index) {
                $html .= " selected";
            }
            $html .= ">$option\n";
        }

Advantages:

o Option could be more descriptive and independent from value
o Better support for probably multilanguage - support

Disadvantage:
o config.php.in not downwards compatible to 0.6.0

Looking forward to your feedback
