Milestone
A user suggests the following:
Is there a way to fix the filenames for emailed PDF reports? Matomo defaults to the file name of (for example) "Report abc Website - March 18 - April 16, 2022.pdf" but this makes it impossible to list reports chronologically when they are in alphabetical order.
If archiving PDF reports from Matomo, the problem is severe enough that I would classify it as a bug.
Matomo should be using international ISO 8601 dates by default, i.e. "Report for abc Website - 2022-03-18 to 2022-04-16.pdf". Using "Year-Month-Day" allows sorting the archived PDF files chronologically in alphabetical order. The ability to generate custom report titles (such as "Report for abc Website" instead of "Report abc Website") is a much-needed feature for Matomo.
EDIT from matt: proposed to use
Report for URL Website - YYYY-MM-DD to YYYY-MM-D2 - $Translated_Date_string
so we still have the nice date, but first have the ISO date.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
