How to turn left navigation tree to old style in phpMyAdmin

phpmyadmin

Solution

There is no configuration directive to change to the old (pre-4.0) style.

However there have been improvements regarding the navigation panel in 4.0.x (current stable is 4.0.9) and in the newly released 4.1.0-rc1.

Updated: With the version 4.4 of phpMyAdmin (soon to be released I think), it will be possible to revert back to old-style navigation panel with a database selector and only current databases' tables being displayed. For switching this behavior, set configuration option $cfg['ShowDatabasesNavigationAsTree'] to 'false'.

Problem

I don't like new AJAXed style of navigation tree in phpMyAdmin and I would like to change it to the old one. Is there some config directive I can change? - Old version: 3.3.7 - New version: 4.0.4 - Original theme in both of them.
