In-Depth Information
The default Server page is controlled by the
$cfg['DefaultTabServer']
parameter.
This parameter defines the initial starting page as well. For multi-user installations,
it is recommended to keep the default value (
main.php
), which displays the
traditional home page. We could choose to display server statistics instead by
changing this parameter to
server_status.php
, or to see the users list with
server_privileges.php
. Other possible choices are explained in the configuration
file, and the server administration pages are explained in Chapter 18.
Icons for Home Page and Menu Tabs
A configuration parameter,
$cfg['MainPageIconic']
, controls the appearance of
icons at various places on the right panel:
•
•
•
On the home page
At top of page when listing the
Server
,
Database
, and
Table
information
On the menu tabs in Database, Table, and Server views
This parameter is set to
TRUE
by default producing, for example:
We can also display menu items without tabs by setting the
$cfg['LightTabs']
parameter to
true
, producing:
Query Window
It is often convenient to have a
distinct window
in which we can type and refine
queries and which is synchronized with the right panel. This window is called the
Query window
. We can open this window by using the small SQL icon or the
Query
window
link from the left panel's icons or links zone.
This link or icon is displayed if
$cfg['QueryFrame']
is set to
TRUE
. The
TRUE
for
$cfg['QueryFrameJS'] tells phpMyAdmin to open a distinct window and update
it using JavaScript commands; of course, this only works for a JavaScript-enabled
browser. If this is set to
FALSE
, clicking on
Query window
will only open the right
panel and will display the normal SQL sub-page.
