proposed UI change: trailing week

[jbclements]

Currently, the weekly UI displays fixed weeks; I believe it would be more intuitive if instead it showed the last seven days. The UI would then have to change to add "week back" and "week forward" buttons, and would probably need to show the dates currently in view.

Ah okay, may take a bit of work, will think it through.

Would the week back and week forward buttons not show fixed weeks as well? Little confused. I will have more time to work on this tomorrow!

Also this is just my opinion but isn't the drop down for the week more intuitive? I just like how the three drop downs look like a calendar that you can change up. It may even be quicker for the user, for instance if the someone wanted to go from week 1 to week 4 with the week forward button it would be three clicks while with the drop down it would be one click. That is something to consider. Just my opinion, if you still want the UI changed, and if we are not running behind schedule then I can still do it, I don't foresee it being too difficult.

sorry, let me try to explain better. Suppose today is october 1st (as in fact it is). Then I would expect that when I first go to the temperature page for (say) the bedroom, I would see the dates September 25th on the left through October 1st on the right. If I click the left button, I would expect to see data for the 18th through the 24th of september. Does this make more sense?

Ah I see that is much better, I will get it done tomorrow.

doing a good bit of code refactoring, not difficult just time consuming, can you remind what the timeline for this is again, it needs to be done by Sunday? I should have it done in 2 hours or so if everything goes okay.
