Every chatter message, precisely timestamped
Replace vague relative time with the exact date and time on every chatter message, and see who uploaded each attachment and when — right where your team already works.
The problem
Odoo's chatter shows message timestamps as relative time like “3 months ago,” which tells an auditor nothing precise, and attachments carry no visible upload date or uploader. Weeks later, reconstructing who did what and when means digging through logs instead of reading the record.
The solution
This module shows the full, unambiguous date and time on every chatter message and adds upload date, time, and uploader details to every attachment — so provenance is visible the moment you open a record, with no digging required.
Everything your audit trail was missing
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Full Absolute Datetime on Every Message
Every chatter message shows the complete, unabbreviated date and time inline, replacing ambiguous phrases like “3 months ago” with a precise timestamp you can rely on.
Relative Time, Shown Alongside
Prefer the familiarity of “2 hours ago”? It stays visible in parentheses right beside the absolute date and time, so you get both precision and context at a glance.
Attachment Upload Date & Uploader
Every chatter attachment shows when it was uploaded and who uploaded it, directly under the file name — the authorship detail Odoo's chatter leaves out by default.
Full Provenance on Hover
Hovering over an attachment reveals its filename, upload date and time, and uploader in one tooltip, keeping the attachment list clean while the full detail stays one interaction away.
Configurable Datetime Format
Leave the format empty for a locale-aware full date and time, or set an explicit format in General Settings to match your organization's regional conventions.
Subtle, Odoo-Native Styling
Timestamps and uploader details are presented in restrained, native Odoo styling — informative without ever competing with the message content itself.
Zero Configuration Required
Install and the full datetime and attachment provenance appear immediately with sensible defaults. Every display option can be adjusted later, but nothing needs to be configured up front.
How it works
Install & Go
Install the module and the full absolute datetime appears on every chatter message immediately — no setup required.
Open Any Chatter
Visit any customer, invoice, project, or ticket record and view its message and attachment history as usual.
Read Exact Timestamps
Every message shows the full date and time inline, with relative time beside it; every attachment shows its upload date, time, and uploader.
Fine-Tune in Settings
Adjust the datetime format, and toggle relative time or attachment metadata from General Settings > Chatter Provenance.
