620023 - default date range should be less than all time and end at today

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tree Management Graveyard :: OrangeFactor, defect)

Description

[Jeff Hammel]

Currently the default view
(http://brasstacks.mozilla.com/couchdb/orange_factor/_design/woo/orange.html)
displays data for all time.  By default, this should display e.g. the
last three months.  bug 609986 will allow selection of arbitrary
periods when implemented.  Additional filters and charts should also
appear on this page.

This applies to all relevant views, eg TestRun.

I'm thinking maybe 3-4 weeks, actually.  Should be a fair bit faster to load and probably contains enough data.

Comment 3

[Mark Côté [:mcote]]

4 weeks loads pretty quickly on my machine.  I'm going with that unless I hear a convincing argument otherwise.

Comment 4

[Mark Côté [:mcote]]

I also made the defaults slightly more interesting:

- default end day is today
- default start day is 4 (currently) weeks before end day

So if someone goes directly to the URL for a graph over time and only specifies an end day, the start day will be 4 weeks before that.  Shouldn't be possible in the UI, but you never know what people will try as URLs.

Done with my patch for bug 620045.  I will leave this bug open until we're sure that 4 weeks is what we want.

We'll go with this.
