Configurable "Rows to display" for evolutionLimits #5206

Same as #5188 but for evolutionLimits.

Use case: Showing 1 month, 7 days (or 1 week) all seems like interesting values to have when using "Evolution over period" graphs.

Actual numbers taken from /plugins/CoreHome/javascripts/dataTable.js :

            evolutionLimits =
            {
                day: [30, 60, 90, 180, 365, 500],
                week: [4, 12, 26, 52, 104, 500],
                month: [3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 120],
                year: [3, 5, 10]
            };

Thanks for the feature suggestion.

I would also appreciate more flexibility or more reasonable numbers. Once again I stumbled over the uneven ratio for a monthly display:
3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 120
3x2=6
6x2=12
12x2=24
24x1,5=36
36x3,33...=120
If doubling numbers would continue, it would be fine for us:
3,6,12,24,48,96
But I guess some people need a longer max-interval to see all data.

And I do not know, why anybody would want to see only three or six months, since this is included
good enough in a 12 months report or some weekly report. Just my 5 cents.

Any news on this topic?
I would really appreciate more insightful numbers, eg. numbers that always double the time range.
The better alternative would be custum settings.
Kind regards
Fritz

@fritzgithub we can maybe add some new numbers to the list.

The current list is at https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/blob/3.x-dev/plugins/CoreHome/javascripts/dataTable.js#L655-L661

What would you suggest as the new list?

Hi, thank you for listening.

• day: suggested new values are fine with me (day: [8, 30, 60, 90, 180])
• week: suggested new values are fine with me (week: [4, 12, 26, 52, 104],)
• month: current values: month: [3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 120]
  • I dont see any sense in 3 month, but that is only my personal opinion
  • I would reduce the gap after three years:
    • either add two values: 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 120
    • or doubling intervals: 6, 12, 24, 48, 96
• year: current values: year: [3, 5, 10]
  • you know better what might the longest existing timerange of matomo/piwik data. In less than two years we need a longer timerange
  • I suggest: 5, 10, 15 (or 3, 5, 10, 15)
