  1. Wow – this block is more and more interesting for me. Waiting for a setup file where I can specify the time range: today (from 0:00 to now) or 24 h (from now back 24 hours). Today is only showing a pie piece versus rolling 24 hours may always show a full circle od data.

    • Hi Reinhard,
      not sure I want to do this, this was the whole point of this block, I like the fact you see exactly the progress of the day and you know that up is midnight, bottom is noon. Changing this to 24h would mean the hours on the circle would be at different position and it was supposed to represent “clock”

        • Well we obviously have differnet opinions about this one. But my goal was to show the progress of a particular parameter during the day and I was thinking about including a calendar too, so that you can choose a particular day, not just today, but I always wanted this to be from midnight to midnight. The problem is that creating a calendar, then checking which days are available in the db etc etc. – this gets quite complicated in terms of the number of requests to the db, the actual javascript to create the calendar, render the available days etc. and I always try to make blocks as lightweight as possible because you are loading many of them. I might do the calendar thing in some plugin.
