Team income table doesn't say when payday is

[Changaco]

From https://nerdculture.de/@ij/107688101193614453:

would it be possible to have the dates of Last/Next Paydays being listed on /$user/receiving or mention the dates somewhere als on the page?

I'll start working on this.

@Changaco I'm looking at team-members.html, which I think is where this table is produced. Could you tell me what templating language this is using (is it Pando?) and where I can find the data for when the paydays occur?

[Changaco]

@biskwikman The templates are Jinja. (This is mentioned in the README along with other things that new developers need to know.)

Payday is supposed to be Wednesday and almost always is. The exact start times of past paydays are in the paydays database table.

[biskwikman]

@Changaco so I think what needs to be done is to add either the most recent ts_start or ts_end time from the paydays database table into the table header which already has Last Payday, and then add the date of the upcoming Wednesday into the table header which already has Next Payday in team-members.html

If this is correct, how would I go about making a database query to paydays? From what I can tell, it needs to be done in www/%username/recieving/index.html.spt Is that correct?

[Changaco]

It's possible to query the database directly from the team-members.html file, but it's probably better to copy the code of the compute_next_payday_date function from liberapay/billing/payday.py, put it in a new method of the Website class in liberapay/website.py, adapt it to return the date of the previous payday alongside the date of the next payday (using a single database query), and call that new method from team-members.html.

I just made a PR in #2157

[biskwikman]

@Changaco Is it alright with you if I close this issue?

[Changaco]

@biskwikman This issue should have been closed when #2157 was merged. This would have happened automatically if you had included “Closes #2119” in the description of #2157.

@Changaco I see. I wasn't aware of that feature.
