How to prevent EasyPHP DevServer 16 to add prefix 'edsa' for alias

It seems to be hardcoded in a code (...), but fortunately the code is in php, so you can just edit it out and be OK (until the update I guess).Go to the eds-dashboard subdirectory and edit the index.php file.

In the current version (17), the code is on the line 95:

$new_alias[0]['alias_name'] = 'edsa-' . $_POST['alias_name'];

Just remove the silly part from it

$new_alias[0]['alias_name'] = $_POST['alias_name'];

save the file and you should be done.

Tested on windows

Thank you for this solution which works like a charm!

One should also alter the line 511 in order to print the name of the alias properly in the dashboard. Otherwise, by default, the PHP script removes the 5 first characters, which are supposed to be "edsa-".

Change :

<?php echo wordwrap(substr($alias['alias_name'],5), 20, "<br />", true); ?>

for:

<?php echo wordwrap(substr($alias['alias_name'],0), 20, "<br />", true); ?>

Tested on Dev Server 17 for Windows.

I would also replace the html part of the page, changing:

<p style="color:silver;padding-left:25px;"><b>Note</b>: the prefix 'edsa-' will be added to the name in order to avoid any conflict.</p>

to:

<!--p style="color:silver;padding-left:25px;"><b>Note</b>: the prefix 'edsa-' will be added to the name in order to avoid any conflict.</p-->

And two lines after that:

<span class="input-group-addon input-sm">edsa-</span>

to:

<span class="input-group-addon input-sm"><!-- edsa- --></span>
