[SOLVED] Activities time is always "plus 2 hours"

GammX1 wrote: 1) Each time and 'Activity' is saved the time frame finally saved is always 2 hours later of the real time but the worst is that if modified and saved again additional 2 hours are added... This could never be acceptable if the target is to keep a 'real time' report that could be presented to the final customer at any time...
>> Is there a way to set that to accept the date & time introduced manually (regardless the time that your program thinks is the real one as per server settings or any other consideration may have)?

In the activity view, start and stop time are handled using the Joomla calendar function.
You can manually edit the time, as default TrackTime takes the current server time.
Sadly it could be very different from your local one (time zone and daylight save settings). However, the extension only "suggest" it: if you change the value, TrackTime will save that value.

If you use the timer, things are different.
Start and stop time are calculated client-side (in your browser using javascript), so you'll have the correct time.
Can you tell me the steps to reproduce the error you're reporting?

2) You have been very clever considering to give 'data encription' inside '#__tracktime_projects to the SU, Psswrd, DB Host, DB User, DB Psswrd, DB Name, FTP URL, FTP User, FTP Psswrd fields.... The question is why not to protect the: Domain Control Panel, Domain CP User, Domain CP Psswrd fields, too?

Whops!
We have fixed it, we're going to release a new version for this issue.

Finally, to have the option to generate a 'Project Status report' under a nice an easy presentation manner (html or PDF) that could allow to be send by email to the final customer at any time, should be a very welcome feature, too

We have just finished working on this feature: you can select a set of activities and email them to the customer.
You can find it in the Professional version (since templates are required and they're inside the pro version) as soon as we publish the new release.
By the way, do you have any particular need?
I mean, in addition of email reports, do you need any different report?
Maybe we can manage to add them inside the new version.

Thanks for you suggestions, we'll try to develop them in the next release

>> Just create a 'New Activity", set the project and its correcponding 'Hour Stack' from where to deduce the time consumed, add description, click on 'Start' at the timer': You will see the correct date and time is displayed
After 15 minutes stop the timer and 'save & close' the activity ... Will be saved but with time 2 hours late
>> Open again the recently created 'activity' change something at the description field and 'save & close' it ... You will see that 2 additional hours have been added to the lastest ones (being now 4 hours later than the real time)... That's really an unaceptable bug if we will need later to create acurate customer reports.

mhm.. sorry but everything is working fine for me...
this is what i did:

1. New activity, fill every info. Please note that the "start/stop" field are taken from the server, so they could be wrong (ie 17:33 instead of 19:33)
2. Start the timer
3. Wait 10 minutes
4. Stop the timer
5. The timer will update the start/stop fields. But now they are the corrects ones, since they're calculated client-side: start= 19:33 stop=19:43
6. Save everything

Even if i edit the record, dates are correct.
It's very strange, since you're the only one that report this bug. Are you sure you're not deleting the start/stop time?
If you do the same steps above, is everything ok?
