How to use the dayofweek function

I am trying to apply code to a certain day of the week to put an indicator on that day. Can I use the dayofweek function, or is there a better way?

last_day = friday

plotshape(last_day, style=shape.diamond, location=location.belowbar, color=green, size=size.tiny)

I was hoping this would put a shape under all Fridays, but instead it puts the shape under every day.

For Pine Script v4.

I'm not sure if you, or anyone else would find this useful, but it could be applicable as a workarounds to this kind of problems.

This code plots a background line every day, except every first day of week, when it plots another background (with a different color). It plots the backgrounds depending ON the hour, OVER and ABOVE the candlestick.

enableTLa = input(defval=true, type=input.bool, title="Enable Timelines 1D (TLa)")
colorA = input(title="Color TLa", type=input.color, defval=color.white)
enableTLd = input(defval=true, type=input.bool, title="Enable Timelines 1W (TLd)")
colorD = input(title="Color TLd", type=input.color, defval=color.yellow)
transpTL = input(defval = 80, title = "Timelines Transparency")

targetTime0     = timestamp(year, month, dayofmonth, 00, 00, 00) //  1D

timeframeRangeA = timeframe.period == "1" or timeframe.period == "3" or timeframe.period == "5" or timeframe.period == "15" or timeframe.period == "30" or timeframe.period == "45" or timeframe.period == "60"
timeframeRangeD = timeframe.period == "1" or timeframe.period == "3" or timeframe.period == "5" or timeframe.period == "15" or timeframe.period == "30" or timeframe.period == "45" or timeframe.period == "60" or timeframe.period == "120" or timeframe.period == "180" or timeframe.period == "240" or timeframe.period == "D"

// 1W, first day of the week, at first hour
bgcolor(targetTime0 == time and enableTLd and timeframeRangeD and dayofweek == dayofweek.monday ? colorD : na, transp=transpTL, editable=false)
// 1D, day of the week, at first hour
bgcolor(targetTime0 == time and enableTLa and timeframeRangeA and dayofweek != dayofweek.monday ? colorA : na, transp=transpTL, editable=false)

This is the result on 1h timeframe:

As you can see, it does not plot background into the future.

In v3, as you seem to be using, would need to be:

plotshape(dayofweek==friday, style=shape.diamond, location=location.belowbar, color=green, size=size.tiny)

Note that is in the exchange's time zone. https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-reference/v3/#var_dayofweek
