'Between' Operator for Date Fields

Added by Chris Platts over 13 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to add a 'Between' operator for queries on date fields. For example, it would be possible to specify that a query includes issues created between date X and date Y.

I'm something of a newbie to RoR, so I wondered if anyone could offer any advice. I've got as far as adding a new operator (">=<") to the date_past field type. However, I'm now struggling to present the correct date entry fields on the page. The problem seems to be that the date_past type is coded to only show a single small textbox for the number of days. I'd like to extend this so that if my 'Between' operator is chosen from the dropdown, two textboxes (or possibly date-pickers) are shown in the UI.

Can anyone offer any ideas?

Many thanks,
Chris

I've got some code for a client that adds a date range filter (after X but before Y). I'll have to dig it up and see if it can be added to the Redmine core for 1.1.

Ah, superb!

I've bought myself some time on this by writing a desktop app to run adhoc SQL queries against the Redmine database. Slightly hacky, but it's working for the time being.

Thanks, Eric!

Chris.

i have opened an issue with the same theme: #6954.
I'll try a patch but it seems to be not so simple.
