How can I output a odoo 8 datetime field without time on a qweb report?

Question

I want to output a odoo 8 datetime field in the localization format but without time.

I extended the t-field with the option hide_time. Is there a simpler built-in solution?

Solution 1

You could try specifying a format in t-field-options, like this:

<span t-field="object.datetimefield" t-field-options='{"format": "MMMM d y"}'/>

just adjust the format as you want.

Solution 2

I have just faced this issue and now it's possible to do it in an easy way. This way shows only the date without the time in addition to keep the respective format lang of the date according to the user who printed the report.

<p t-field="o.your_datetime_field" t-field-options='{"widget": "date"}'/>

Warning: the quotes of t-field-options must be exactly like I wrote, otherwise, that line won't work.

Hope it helps in the future to anyone who needs this.

This doesn't seem to preserve localization choices.

Ups, I didn't noticed about it. Maybe this could help : odoo.com/es_ES/forum/help-1/question/…

This is easily the simplest and most flexible option. Works great in Odoo 9. Thanks!
