collecting info for error report

When an error report happens now I collect certain relevant info about
the error and current phpmyadmin configuration.

I currently collect error message, line number, file_name, stacktrace
if available, phpmyadmin version, user browser name and version, user
os and steps for reproduction by the user.

do you think any other thing is relevant to the report. I can easily
add any more info if required I just cant seem to find what is
important for debugging. I thought I would ask you since you have a
lot of experience debugging problems in phpmyadmin

surrounding functions by try and catch

Using window.onerror I don't have access to the stacktrace. to get the
stacktrace I need to surround code by try and catch.

I may be able to use javascript to change all references to global
functions and surround them by try and catch statements. surrounding
each and every global function in the window namespace would probably
create a performance hit. however doing the same for only a subset of
functions may be easier. I may for example surround only functions
that start with PMA_ and the functions in the AJAX object.

According to this test [0] the performance hit is not that great so it
may not hurt to add try and catch to all methods but I don't like to
play with code that I donot own since it may cause problems that I may
not be able to understand.

What I am trying to ask is should I surround only PMA_ and AJAX
functions or should I add some extra functions (such as jquery
functions) to the list or should I skip this entirely and rely only on
line number and file name from the window.onerror

redirect after js error caught

Since I catch uncaught exceptions there is a chance that the page
would be unusable. should I refresh the page or redirect to the
homepage or should I just leave it as is.

error report form mockup

I have attached some screenshots [0] of the current implementation of the
error report dialog. when an error occurs a small notification appears
at the bottom asking the user if he wants to submit an error report.
if he does the modal dialog is opened showing him the info that would
be sent and asking him for any additional info he might have.

what do you think?

Improving the navigation bar in 4.1

Hi,
The navigation bar permits to navigate within a results set; it contains 
the page number selector, the begin/previous/next/end arrows, etc.

Reading [0], I noticed that there is much room for improvement. Based on 
this feature request, here are my recommendations:

1. Remove the "Headers every __ rows" dialog; it's too prominent, is not 
often changed and is configurable via normal config and user prefs

2. Change the default number of rows from 30 to 25 (related to the next 
suggestion)

3. Replace the input field in "Number of rows" with a dropdown 
containing preset values 25/50/100/250/500. Selecting a value would 
immediately have an effect. I never felt the need to display, say, 37 
rows in a page. This flexibility harms usability.

4. Remove the "Show" button and the Start row dialog. I rarely have to 
change the starting row value. Arrows and page selectors are sufficient 
to navigate (not mentionning Search).

Comments are more than welcome.

javascript caching

The javascript files seem to be cached pretty aggressively in my
phpmyadmin. I have to clear the cache on each code change so that it
is reflected. Is there some setting in phpmyadmin to help me with the
cache problem or is the problem with my server configuration

not uglifying js for production

Uglifying js code would prevent any meaningful reports from reaching
us in the error reporting system since all function and variable names
are useless and all the scripts are inlined. I am suggesting that we
refrain from uglifing js code in production. Since bandwidth is now
sufficiently large to handle pretty js code in production. It would
give us access to a wealth of info to help us diagnose and reproduce
error reports that may not be feasible with ugly js scripts.

what do you think?
