Hi Michael and Belén, I have created a V2 of the date range patch to address Michael's recommendations:
1) This patch includes 7461 "Filters not working as designed" I hid the filter counts and turned off the button disables. I did keep the backend code around so that we reuse/adapt it later. 2) The javascript from "filtersnippet.html" has been moved to "/static/js/filtersnippet.js" To compensate I have added context values (to pass the values) and "data-*" attributes (to hold the data with the respective controls). The latter is needed because "datepicker" loses all its settings when its input box is disabled, so I have to be able to restore the state on the fly. A side benefit is that I was able to remove almost all of the added unnamed tuple variables. I left just one so that I did not have to re-write Belén dense hover pop-up that allows one to switch the filter back to "Show All", but we are otherwise no worse than Toast-1.7. FYI, I found I had to use DOM to fetch some elements in these routines, because jQuery just could not find those same elements. 3) There is no longer a page redirect to validate/reconstitute the dynamic date range filter To compensation I have added a routine to catch and modify the filter_string after it is fetched but before it is used, plus I added some more context variables. FYI, I spent a lot of time trying to do the whole validation and reparsing of the date range filter string in the javascript before it is returned to the view classes, but I finally gave up when I discovered that the date() support in javascript does not support date addition. This feature is needed because the "to" date is expected to include that date, and that in turn means it must be incremented to the beginning of the next day before being used. (I could have played with fetching the object's UNIX time integer, adding a day's worth of seconds, and making a new Date object, but that looked ugly and un-safe). 4) Various other style improvements I have tested it in managed and interactive mode, using valid and empty/in-valid dates (which are caught and forced to 'today'). The only usage oddity is that if you do use Belén hover pop-up to switch the filter back to "Show All", the date range pickers lose their previous values (since they are passed in the URL), but that is a small thing and the values are easily re-entered. We can fix that when we update our persistence model in YP-1.9. - David
