phpMyEdit TODO list
-------------------
* change SQL table aliases from "TableN" to "phpMyEdit_table_alias_N" or
something similar
- done with "PMEtableN" and "PMEjoinN" for lookup tables
* filter should be allowed only if $opts['options'] contains 'F'
- multi-part date handling
- finish converting date handling to internal date handling functions
- abstract date field gathering to get rid of _many_ redundant lines of code
- there was some kludged fix for dateformat'ting where '%'s are removed
- better support for more date format macros
- better documentation for valid date format macros
- aggregates - firstly make specification and than implement such feature(s)
- data validation: expand JS field validation to match JS regexes
- data validation: create PHP field validation to match PHP regexes
* do_add_record() triggers - change $vals_ori to $vals and $vals to $vals_quoted
- $vals_ori changed to $values
* do_add_record() triggers - make $vals available also in "before" trigger
- template based control of add/change/copy/view/delete record page; maybe also
control of list page
* add ['display']['form'] parameter to control HTML tag;
policy for this: if missing => display form, if not and true => display form,
if not missing and false => do not display form
* array compatible "sort_field" option to have possibility of default sorting
according to more than one table column
* fix sorting problem when using table lookup with divs (separator)
* if picture/text links enabled, use texts for filter/search/hide buttons
* create URL links also in record view/delete
- fix this: `filters' option works fine, but when there is column with the same
name in main table and also in join table, it must be prefixed by table alias
(TableX.); prefixation with table name of course does not work; maybe note
should be added into this option to use aliases, because this is difficult to
fix without CPU expensive SQL parser
* add original variables which will persist whole session support
- implemented via ['cgi']['persist']
* reimplement actionStyle to have possibility spefify where you want navigation
buttons (up, down or both) and/or image/text action links
* implement repeating save in change operation (after repeating save is change
record displayed again instead of table listing)
- "Apply" function works fine
* extend patch from Shaun Johnston and add divs['-1'] to implement prefix and
divs[$n + 1] to implement postfix
* what is difference between default_sort_columns and sort_field
- not important now, default_sort_columns remove and sort_field brings amount
of usable features, check doc/ChangeLog file for more information
* after save of records, fields are incorrectly displayed (in example
Description field in Authors is showed)
- nasty bug created in 4.x, fixed and works fine
* URLtarget to specify URL target
* links and buttons - booth used for records manipulating is not good
idea?
- good idea, implemented, use `navigation' option key for this
* when using images or links instead of buttons, change and delete links
are constructed with English words (not national):
http://example.com/authors.php?sfn=0&fl=0&fm=0&operation=Change&rec=1
http://example.com/authors.php?sfn=0&fl=0&fm=0&operation=Delete&rec=1
Than it is impossible to change or delete record via links. Other
functions such as view and copy works well.
- fixed, works fine
* images should be transparent, and not GIFs but PNGs
+ path prefix specification to graphic image styles
+ default sort columns are cool, but is there a way to specify
descending ordering? In this case empty strings goes first and
I want them at the end of list
* value of 0 in number of records to display on the screen will cause
"Division by zero" error; so this should have the same functionality
as -1 (display all records)
- fixed
* according to language uand settings use htmlentities()
or htmlspecialchars()
- problematic htmlentities() is not used anymore
+ abbility to take more than one column from external table when using
optional description field;
Example:
I have a table of authors with surname and firstname fields.
I have also table of articles with author_id field.
I want during adding new article to select from authors, but not only
by surname, but by both, surname and firstname.
Posible solutions:
1. specify one field '@concat(surname, ', ', firstname)
2. specify by array
Although this seems to be difficult to implement.
+ ability to resize set of values from external table about value 'not set'
Example:
I have table of organizations.
I have table of users with organization_id field.
Every user may be in organization, but he/she mustn't.
So I wanted to select from organization table names or select nothing and
than organization_id will be 0.
- implemented via ['values2']
+ security hole with View (remove View ability and use operation=View, it will
also give you a view ability)
- should be checked
+ the same with Change (after saving, records will be surprisingly added)
- should be fixed
* allow to set CSS's clases for | (odd and even), | , |
