Enhancement: Allow today for the saved reports as the end date
Some saved reports could benefit from using current date (today) as their end date.
Maybe the date_end parameter could have special expression today that could be then easily translated in the code to the current date in getSavedReport function.
I have added this:
if ($parameters['date_end']=='today') $parameters['date_end']=date('Y-m-d');
after line 149 in inc/reports.php and manually overwritten ending date for those reports that I would like to see always fresh.
Works like charm.
I'm interested to know more about the reason for wanting to see today as the end date.
Google Search Console doesn't provide up to the date data - it's a few days behind. For that reason, the data in Organic Search Analytics will never display todays data.
The reports are designed to use the most recent data as the latest possible end date. Any date after that would not have any data.
Well, it specifically does not have to be 'today', but rather last day available in the reports.
The reason is I want to be able to see up-to-date reports as opposed to an old one that I have to work with to get to update (depending on when I last created one).

The default functionality is for the end date to be the last available date based on the data in your database - as populated by the data capture process. I personally don't know of a scenario where this doesn't work as desired. Can you provide a sequence of steps to recreate the issue on a non-modified installation?
I'm more than happy to address bugs like this - but not sure how to create the issue.

When creating a report, I set the ending date to the desired day (e.g. today). After looking at the report later, it still ends with the date set instead of showing data until the last available day.

When creating a report, I set the ending date to the desired day (e.g. today).
Today isn't an option (as mentioned prior) - not sure how this is possible...
After looking at the report later, it still ends with the date set instead of showing data until the last available day.
What steps do you to take to get to this point?
- Refresh the page?
- Save the report to the Quick Links?
- Other actions?
Maybe a wrong wording, by "today" = I mean the latest available day.
Steps: Saved report to Quick links

That makes sense now. You want to save a Quick Link report that has a rolling date range with a hard start date.
Rolling dates are available for the 7, 30, or 90 day preset date range options. Save a report to Quick Links with one of those date range options, capture more data in the coming days, and view the saved reports. The end date would be the most recent date.
But it sounds like you want to set a hard start date and have the end date grow with time. I.E. a year to date report, or a report since a feature was released (May 3rd for example of a random date) and the end date is the most recent.
That makes sense and would be a nice addition - agreed.
@nekromoff Sorry - re-reading your title this makes more sense now. The request wasn't clear to me from the get go (as I'm sure you can tell)...
No problem, you have guessed it in the end. Fixed starting date and open / rolling ending date.
