On This Day

Route

  • URL: GET /discover/on-this-day
  • Controller: App\Http\Controllers\Web\DiscoverController::onThisDay()

What the page reads

This page is a direct MySQL query over artworks. It does not use Meilisearch.

Query logic

The controller selects artworks that are:

  • public
  • published
  • approved
  • published on the same month/day as today
  • from a previous year only

It then sorts them by published_at DESC and paginates 24 per page.

Equivalent logic:

MONTH(published_at) = today.month
AND DAY(published_at) = today.day
AND YEAR(published_at) < today.year

Data sources

  • primary source: artworks
  • supporting eager loads: user, user.profile, categories

Cache behavior

  • no explicit controller cache

Background jobs and schedules

No dedicated cron drives this page.

It only depends on correct published_at values and the usual public/published scopes.

Notes

  • This is a calendar-history page, not a popularity or momentum page.
  • The current implementation simply orders by newest qualifying published_at, not by views, downloads, or favourites.
  • There are also legacy TodayInHistoryController variants elsewhere in the codebase, but /discover/on-this-day currently uses DiscoverController::onThisDay().
