Greetings...

	According to the status of this project I recognize myself to start
work on version 3.6 of phpMyEdit project. I have plan to implement set of
new features, listed below.

- implementation of view action - requires change of $labels, but it is
  neccessary
- column ability to be showed and read-only in add/edit screen
  (example of use: description column of property/config table)
- fix page number after search (that means: I'm on page 4/50, I search for
  some records and result is a few (in example 5) records, all of these 5
  records are able to fill 1 page, but I will be after search on page 4/1 -
  that's really strange :-/)
- fast moving between list pages (pulldown menu with page numbers)
- $where variable in options to specify where clausule for working only
  with subset of data
- data removing protection - delete will only mark record as deleted

	All comments and suggestions are always welcome. I will be also glad
to see some comment about this ideas from current project maintainer.

	Have a nice days,

	=Nepto=

[PHPMyEdit-Discuss] Is anything happening in this project

[Jakob L. <jl...@it...>]

Hi,

As an active user of PHPMyEdit I am a bit nervous to see that absolutely
nothing has happened for the last couple of months.

As far as I can see Jim scheduled a new release medio August, but
nothing has happened as far as I can see...

So what the story guys.  Dead or alive?

Best regards, and thanks for a wonderful PHP tool.

- Jakob

That sounds good.

'something' should be a function name. You can just
call the function using $triggers['ins']['pre']($parameters);

See manual/functions.variable-functions.html in the PHP manual.

I'm not too familiar with transactions so I can't comment on that.

On a unrelated note, if there's a 'description' set for the column,
PHPMyEdit fails to display the record if there's no matching entry
in the references table. I'd rather prefer if would display <null> or
something similiar, instead of supressing the whole record.

Andreas,

These sound like great ideas.

I should be releasing a new major version of PME in two 
weeks with a bunch of new features.

Can I make some guesses as to how the interface would look?

Jump:  Select box with page numbers

For the callback, how would you do it?  I've thought it'd be 
wise to emulate SQL triggers and use include files as stored 
procedures, so an array like this in the code generated by 
SETUP.PHP:

$triggers['ins']['pre'] = something;
$triggers['ins']['post'] = something;
$triggers['upd']['pre'] = something;
$triggers['upd']['post'] = something;
$triggers['del']['pre'] = something;
$triggers['del']['post'] = something;

where something is either a filename or an unevaluated code 
fragment passed to eval() later on.  I'd prefer the include 
file, myself, due to issues with quoting and with eval().

In the PME.inc file, do conditional includes or evals on 
these somethings.  Any thoughts on the fact that MySQL 
doesn't have native transactions?

Subject: [PHPMyEdit-Discuss] PHPMyEdit ideas


Hi,

I have a few ideas about how to make PHPMyEdit even more useful,
and I'm willing to contribute a bit.

First things that popped on my mind today:
- I want to be able to jump directly to page 5, when Page 1 / 8 is
  displayed
- I want to add a callback that gets called before the
  new record is updated in the database (for example to auto-generate a
  password field)
