Let plugin developers customise the list of "Report date to load by default"

[mattab]

Tassoman requested in the forum the ability for plugin developers to customise the list of "Dates" that can be set as "Date to load by default" in the Piwik user settings.

This is useful for example to remove ability for users to set by default the Custom Date ranges, which can be performance intensive.

So let's add a new Event that will let plugin developers easily overwrite the list.

Thank you very much!

I was able to publish our first Piwik Plugin ever: RerUserDates, any feedback is welcome.

Ciao Matt, I'm removing ranges also from calendar because was asked first day as first issue since I published the plugin.

This ticket's fix worked for users profiles but, when user still have its default to prev7/prev30 range, I would force it to yesterday.

After setting user's default dates to yesterday in the GET request period argument still equals to range and discovers last seven days custom range.

Desired behavior would be having period equal day (instead of 1day ranges)

So how can I force period=day? I gave a look to Range Class but I can't really get into it. Maybe is an Api.get call? How can I do inside PHP?

After some deeper reading of Developer's Guides, I've integrated this feature since version 1.1.0 using Piwik class and redirectToModule method.

I feel writing Piwik Plugins very clear thin and straightforward. Also guides and documentation helps a lot. Grazie 1000!

RerUserDates plugin would help administrators minimizing problems derived by ticket #4768
