How to set "full texts" as default for phpMyAdmin?

Tags:

I am using phpMyAdmin v3.4.10.1deb1 to manage some MySQL-Tables on my Ubuntu-Server with fields that have the SQL-format "TEXT". When those fields are displayed, they are truncated by default. I always have to click on the Symbol "←T→" to expand the texts to their full length. But I don't want to do this click on every single query, because this means, that every query hat do be done twice.

I want that "full texts" is default. But I don't find the place where to set this.

Can you help?

I have an option in the phpMyAdmin: Settings > Main Panel > Browse Mode called: Limit column characters where you can change the default limit of characters (50). But I don't believe you can set it to NOT limit by default...

Starting from phpMyAdmin 5, follow the comment below from Alan Dev : Home -> General settings -> More settings -> Main panel -> Browse mode -> Limit column characters

FIRST: Don't change core files if it is not necessary.

To achieve this in PMA version 4.5.4.1 you just have to add this line to your config.inc.php:

if ( !isset($_REQUEST['pftext'])) $_REQUEST['pftext'] = 'F'; 

This will always set the results to FULL TEXT per default, and you can switch over if you need to partial
