Week Start - Thursday?

5 years 6 months ago #3321

Hello there!

I've been trying out CoalaWeb Traffic for use as a counter, and so far I'm really liking what I see. There is, however, one problem.

For various reasons, I need to count hits week-to-week from Thursday to Thursday. That is to say, a week for me starts and ends on Thursdays. I've seen that there are options for Week Start in the General Options section, but sadly it's limited to only 3 days (Sun through Mon). Is there any way of opening this up so I'd have it functioning as I need?

I'd be able to make do if not if only the week's worth of hits counted the last 7 days, not the number since the Week Start day.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

So to get your week starting on Thursday open up the helper.php file found here:

modules -> mod_coalawebtraffic

switch ($weekDayStart) {
            case 'sat':
                $weekstart = $daystart - ((date('N') + 1) * 24 * 60 * 60);
                break;
            case 'sun':
                $weekstart = $daystart - (date('N') * 24 * 60 * 60);
                break;
            case 'mon':
                $weekstart = $daystart - ((date('N') - 1) * 24 * 60 * 60);
                break;
            default:
                $weekstart = $daystart - ((date('N') - 1) * 24 * 60 * 60);
                break;
        }

$weekstart = $daystart - ((date('N') - 4) * 24 * 60 * 60);

Hi Steve!

Thanks, that's amazing.

I've set that up, and I'll give it a proper test in the coming weeks, but I've no reason whatsoever to doubt it works at this point.

Thanks so much!

Hi Ross,

It was lucky that you asked me on Friday so when I was doing my initial testing its was easy to check the Total was correct by adding Yesterday to Today but I encourage you to do your own testing as you mentioned just in case there are any issues.

Let me know if you find anything and we can work through a solution.

Cheers,

Steve
