GSoC 2011 - Plugin architecture and action buttons

Hi people!

This week I have worked finishing the integration between the navigation links and the new plugin architecture. I had to refactor some files in the phpPgAdmin core to this feature be possible.

Now I am developing a new feature, creating a hook for action buttons. See the image below to understand well what these buttons are:

I have created a hook for it, and a simple example to show this feature working. There are some files in the phpPgAdmin to refactor, and some of them I have already refactored. My mentors and me have been discussing about that.

Jehan and Andreas also sent me more comments and reviews about our work so far.

That's all for while. See you guys!

GSoC 2011 - Trails, navigation links and reviews

Hey guys!

It was more a week working on Google Summer of Code 2011.

These This week I have worked on the integration between the trails component and our new plugin architecture. A preview can be saw below:

My mentors sent me some reviews of the code, and we worked together, discussing to solve them. Reviews are very important during the development of software. Some time developers do not realize some mistakes and bugs. Other opinions are also important to get new points of view.

I also have been working on the integration between the navigation links and the new plugin architecture. To make it, I had to refactor some code inside the phpPgAdmin (PPA). I confess I didn't imagined this would be necessary, but, in the other hand, it was important for me know parts of PPA that were unknown to me.

Well, that's all for today. Cheers!
