Display time as UTC in odoo

Question

Is there any way to display time(datetime) in UTC by default in odoo?

By default it is displaying time according to System's timezone.

Thanks

Answer 1

I hope this will help your problem.

import pytz

timezone = pytz.timezone(self._context.get('tz') or 'UTC')
self.date_depart_filtre = timezone.localize(datetime.strptime(self.date_depart,'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')).astimezone(pytz.UTC)

In odoo this type Of stuff also do :

@api.one
@api.depends('date_depart')
def _get_filter_date(self):
    if not (self.date_depart):
        self.date_depart_filtre = self.date_depart
        return
    my_tz = pytz.timezone(self._context.get('tz') or 'UTC')
    #my_tz = pytz.timezone('Europe/Paris')
    utc_tz = tz.tzutc()
    my_dt = datetime.strptime(self.date_depart,'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
    utc_dt = my_dt.replace(tzinfo=utc_tz)
    self.date_depart_filtre = utc_dt.astimezone(my_tz)
    return

You can set the timezone as UTC from Preferences menu, defined under the Logged user name, at the Top right of your Odoo screen.
