Navigation panel
The navigation panel contains the following elements:
• The logo
• The server list ( if
$cfg['LeftDisplayServers']
is set to
TRUE
)
• The
Home
link or icon (takes you back to the phpMyAdmin home page)
• A
Log
out
link or icon (if logging out is possible)
• A link or icon leading to the
Query
window
• Icons to display phpMyAdmin and MySQL documentation
• A
Reload
link or icon (to refresh just this panel)
• A table name ilter (under certain conditions, see later in the
Table
name
ilter
section)
• The names of databases and tables
If
$cfg['MainPageIconic']
is set to
TRUE
(the default), we see the icons. However,
if it is set to
FALSE
, we see the links.
The navigation panel can be resized by clicking and moving the vertical separation
line in the preferred direction to reveal more data, in case the database or table
names are too long for the default navigation panel size.
We can customize the appearance of this panel. Many appearance-related
parameters are located in
themes/<themename>/layout.inc.php
. The
$cfg['NaviWidth']
parameter contains the default width of the navigation
panel in pixels. The background color is defined in
$cfg['NaviBackground']
.
The
$cfg['NaviPointerColor']
parameter defines the pointer color. To
activate the navigation pointer for any theme being used, a master setting,
$cfg['LeftPointerEnable']
, exists in
config.inc.php
. Its default value is
TRUE
.
Configuring the logo
The logo display behavior is controlled by a number of parameters. First,
$cfg['LeftDisplayLogo']
has to be set to
TRUE
, to enable any displaying of the
logo. It is
true
by default. A click on this logo brings the interface to the page listed
in the
$cfg['LeftLogoLink']
parameter, which is usually the main phpMyAdmin
page (default value
main.php
), but can be changed to any URL. Finally, the
$cfg['LeftLogoLinkWindow']
parameter indicates in which window the new
page appears after a click on the logo. By default, it's on the main page (value
main
).
However, it could be on a brand new window by using the value
new
.
The logo image itself comes from the
logo_left.png
file, which is located in each
specific theme directory structure.
