In the newly designed phpMyAdmin, how can you set the export to default to "View output as text"?

Question

In the newly designed phpMyAdmin (currently 3.4.2), how can you set the export to default to "View output as text" ?

This used to work but no longer does:

$cfg['Export']['asfile'] = false;

I tried these things after looking through the code of display_export.lib.php, but with no luck:

$cfg['Export']['repopulate'] = true;
$cfg['Export']['view_as_text'] = true;

Their documentation does not seem to be updated: http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/Config

Recommended Solution

Until anyone can find the "right way" to change this, I would recommend modifying this line in display_export.lib.php (currently line 328). The bold text is my addition. Also there is one parenthesis which is bolded to the right of the first set of bold items.

<li><input type="radio" id="radio_view_as_text" name="output_format" value="astext" <?php echo (!empty($cfg['Export']['view_as_text']) || isset($_GET['repopulate']) ) ? 'checked="checked"' : '' ?>/><label for="radio_view_as_text"><?php echo __('View output as text'); ?></label></li>

Answer 1

$cfg['Export']['asfile'] = false;

works fine under phpMyAdmin 3.5.2.2

Restart apache after adding the above line to your phpmyadmin configuration
