Subject: Re: Configure default time range in 'Find' 

It has just occurred to me that you may also have to check the non-English files, (./resorces/eloglang_xxxx) as this change introduces a new term "All time" that would need translation into the other lexicons.

 

By the way, in further testing, the "Show last" selection over-rides whatever two dates are selected, so if you ask for any entry in Dec 2014, but the "Show last" selects "week", nothing is found - very quickly.  I trust that is what you're after, Eoin.  I'll keep my change to the coding, but that's personal choice.

David.

Hi there, In the "Find" page, I changed the default of the "Show last" drop down box in the Entry Date section from the (unstated) "All time" to "Day", and added back in an "All Time" option at the very bottom.  This gives a default of searching the last day, and one has to think and select the period of time to search back on.

I did this on my 2.9.2-2475 version, recompiled and it works.  Two lines of code changed and even my cr*ppy coding was up to the task.  I don't know if Stefan would want to put this into the Master copy (I'll forward the changes if you want Stefan, but it's pretty easy if I can do it), but if you can edit and recompile (Eoin) I can tell you which to lines for immediate functionality.  Back up everything first, though!

Yes, this works, but users inevitably forget to select "last week" or whatever, and just leave it blank, which means their search unintentionally takes a long time. It would be much better if one could configure it to default to something "fast".

Have you tried in the "Find" page to set a start date, or select "Show last: Month". This shoudl speed up searching quit a bit.
