How many specific MyDates can I enter #121

Open axysnz opened 3 years ago

axysnz commented 3 years ago

Hi

How many specific YYYY-MM-DD dates can be entered into MyDates field in miq-assistance.js Since flights from the States only arrive on certain days then there's no point in searching for other days but I think I read somewhere there there is a limit to how many days you can enter but I can't find the reference again. If there are two good days per week and you want to check the next 3 months that's around 24 dates....

I don't see anything in the .js that limits the number of dates. I suppose a large number of dates may cause the program to slow down, but should be a minimal effect compared to other factors such as website latency.

Thanks Mark I have loaded 24 dates and (once I got the syntax correct without any missing commas) it certainly didn’t crash. I just hope that it will only alert me when those dates come up. I also set the findAnyDate to false which I assume is needed for specific dates.

I have about 20 specific dates (and findAnyDate=false) and I've successfully gotten a few alerts (but was too slow to lock them in). The only other thing I learned was to be sure to include the leading zeros in the months and days, e.g. 2021-08-01 Good luck!

Thanks Martin. Did it select the date for you or did you have to click on it then the captcha and next?

It was selected. I then did captcha, clicked next, only to discover that I was too slow. Those dates seem to only last for 2-3 seconds at most. One of these days I'll be lucky.

How about a combination of days and months? For eg: '2021-10-14', '2021-11'

Would that work or it has be in YYYY-MM-DD format only? Thanks

axysnz commented 3 years ago

The sample miq-assistance.js has both formats in it so I assume that it's possible. It's important to include the leading zero on single digits.

'2021-09', '2021-10-04' etc.
