Period selector: + today + yesterday #9094

Open hpvd opened 8 years ago

hpvd commented 8 years ago

when using piwik regularly, one often look into e.g.

with current period selector, one has always to choose the date again.

With adding "today" and "yesterday" in the period selector, one simply relogin and see the desired values or if still logged in one only need to refresh the browser...

please see attachment how this could be done without needing to much room 2015-10-26_11h13_22

We were also thinking about adding this to the new search bar. Eg today, yesterday, last week, ...

So you would only type f to activate search followed by today or maybe only tod or to (depending on search results) and select the found item in the search. This could be done with this issue as well.

Maybe it would be not even needed anymore in the date selector once it is available in the search? Although I agree it would be not intuitive and one would not know one can do it etc. so might need it in date selector and search.

Edit: Actually the current implementation of the search bar even requires that it is present somewhere in the date selector so we could easily solve both at the same time

"so we could easily solve both at the same time" => :-)

btw just noticed that there is some kind of automatic day switching to today integrated. yesterday I selected 04.11.2015 today after reload its 05.11.2015 some how strange. hmm is it by intend?

It's automatically switched when the URL says date=today or date=yesterday

Be careful with keyboard shortcut because of accessibility, during Piwik 2.x release we did a a11y audit then pushed some pull-request about it. The big trouble is that each language has a different word for day/month/year so the character wouldn't fit.

I better suggest a personal setting to enable/disable that feature and the ability to bind custom keys on it.
