Problem: There is an error in phpMyAdmin export page -- “Field:group: xxx has no type”

Solution: update Form.php in phpMyAdmin path.

1. Add below function in Form.php

    protected function cleanGroupPaths(array $form): array
    {
        foreach($form as &$name) {
            if (mb_strpos((string) $name, ':group:') === 0) {
                $name = str_replace('/', '-', $name);
            }
        }
        return $form;
    }

2. update loadForm function

    public function loadForm($form_name, array $form)
    {
        $this->name = $form_name;

        $form=$this->cleanGroupPaths($form);

        $this->readFormPaths($form);
        $this->readTypes();
    }
}

Problem: Some day enter Phpmyadmin then an message pop up -- “configuration storage is not completely configured, some extended features have been deactivated.”

Solution: You can create a table for storing configuration.

1. import script from phpMyAdmin/sql/create_tables.sql
2. create user and grant SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, ALTER privileges in phpMyAdmin.
3. open config.inc.php and update below line (uncomment it)

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'pma';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = 'password_you_set_in_phpmyadmin';

/* Storage database and tables */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] = 'phpmyadmin';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable'] = 'pma__bookmark';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] = 'pma__relation';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info'] = 'pma__table_info';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] = 'pma__table_coords';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] = 'pma__pdf_pages';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info'] = 'pma__column_info';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['history'] = 'pma__history';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_uiprefs'] = 'pma__table_uiprefs';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking'] = 'pma__tracking';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['userconfig'] = 'pma__userconfig';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['recent'] = 'pma__recent';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['favorite'] = 'pma__favorite';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['users'] = 'pma__users';
