wrong times on sign in/sign out

[Paulo Pinho]

When a employee does "sign in" or "sign out" , the list view of attendance doesn't display the correct times .
In the other hand in the report "Attendance error report" the 'date signed' field appears correct but the 'date recorded' field is wrong.

the timezone of my server is " (UTC) Dublin, Edinburgh, lisbon, London " - Windows 7
the client side is the same " (UTC) Dublin, Edinburgh, lisbon, London " - windows 7 too

example:
The employee signs in at 9:00 AM Lisbon.

in the list view of attendance appears - 10:00 AM

in the database , on table hr_attendance
the 'create_date' field - 8:00 AM - The correct time in UTC
the 'name' field - 9:00 AM - The correct time in lisbon

if i create the report with timezone preference in blank the result is this:

    in the Attendance error report
                                      - Date Signed - 9:00 AM - The correct time in lisbon
                                      - Date Recorded - 8:00 AM - The correct time in UTC

if i create the report with timezone preference "Europe/Lisbon" the result is this

    in the Attendance error report
                                      - Date Signed - 10:00 AM - The time in lisbon plus my timezone preference(+1)
                                      - Date Recorded - 9:00 AM - The correct time in UTC plus my timezone preference(+1)

So the 'name' field is saved in my server's timezone is saved as a timestamp with no timezone information, but which is already offset to GMT. Then the offset is applied again for some reason. The create_date shows the correct time in UTC because it may be managed by openERP itself. I'm not sure.

Solution

in the module hr_timesheet_sheet .
file - hr_timesheet_sheet.py
class -class hr_attendance(osv.osv):
method - def _get_default_date(self, cr, uid, context=None):

change the line :
    return time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
to
    return datetime.utcnow().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
