I'm trying to use three different models in one view. I've created a new model that inherits the models which seems to work fine.
from openerp import models, fields, api
class ProjectNote(models.Model):
_name = "triangle.project.note"
_inherit = ["note.note", "project.project", "triangle.note"]
My problem is in the view. I use my new model as the model and inherit a view from project.
<record id="view_project_notes_form" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">triangle.project.note.form</field>
<field name="model">triangle.project.note</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="project.edit_project"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<data>
<xpath expr="//field[#name='privacy_visibility']" position="replace">
<h2>
<field name="title" placeholder="Title"/>
</h2>
</xpath>
</data>
</field>
</record>
I don't get any errors but my field is not being added.
Any help is appreciated!
If you're trying to open a project.project view and wondering why there is no field title in it: there can't be. You aren't extending the project view for model project.project but are defining a form view for your model triangle.project.note which inherits the project view.
So the project views are untouched, you've just created the first form view for your new model.

I want to update the field done_date which is part of the project.task form view when pulling a Kanban tile on the stage that is indicated as being the final stage.
My code below works fine if the field is part of the Kanban view but fails to write if the field is only part of the task form view and not part of the Kanban project view.
The done_date field should be written even without being part of the Kanban view.
models.py
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from odoo import models, fields, api
class project_set_end_date(models.Model):
inherit = 'project.task.type'
last_stage = fields.Boolean(string="Final stage")
class project_set_end_date(models.Model):
_inherit = 'project.task'
#api.onchange('stage_id')
def _set_end_date(self):
if self.stage_id.last_stage:
self.date_finished = fields.Datetime.now()
views.py
<odoo>
<data>
<!-- explicit list view definition -->
<record model="ir.ui.view" id="project_set_end_date">
<field name="name">project.task.type.form</field>
<field name="model">project.task.type</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="project.task_type_edit"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//field[#name='fold']" position='after'>
<field name="last_stage"/>
</xpath>
</field>
</record>
</data>
</odoo>
Odoo doesn't write to a field that doesn't exist in the current view. So I suggest adding the field but with the attribute invisible = True to avoid showing it:
<field name="your_field" invisible="True"/>
I need to inherit mail.group kanban view (mail.view_group_kanban). But some of the fields in this kanban view is defined in mail.thread model. Now my requirement is, i need to display count of members in a group on kanban view.To do this i have inherited mail.thread model and added new field. But i getting an error:Fieldnew_fielddoes not exist.
I have tried below code:
*.py
from openerp import models, fields, api, _
class mail_thread(models.Model):
_inherit = 'mail.thread'
_columns={
'new_field': fields.char(string='New Field')
}
*.xml
<record id="view_group_kanban_inherit" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">view.group.kanban.inherit</field>
<field name="model">mail.group</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="mail.view_group_kanban"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<field name="alias_domain" position="after" >
<field name="new_field" />
</field>
<xpath expr="//div[#class='oe_kanban_footer_left']" position="after">
<field name="new_field" />
</xpath>
</field>
</record>
You should define class definition like below:
class MailThread(models.AbstractModel):
_inherit = "mail.thread"
Best Thanks,
Ankit H Gandhi.
just code like this :
from openerp import models, fields, api, _
class MailThread(models.AbstractModel):
_inherit = 'mail.thread'
_columns={
'new_field': fields.char(string='New Field')
}
but if you want to override fields in AbstractModel ,I dont know for it .
thanks
I am trying to add a custom field to Odoo 9 res.partner model using module. I have used scoffold command to generate the module files and added following code to models.py and views.xml.
models/models.py
from openerp import models, fields, api
class SeicoPartner(models.Model):
_name = 'res.partner'
_inherit = 'res.partner'
no_of_ac = fields.Integer('No of AC', default=0)
review = fields.Char('Company Review')
views/views.xml
<openerp>
<data>
<record id="res_partner_field_ac" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="no_of_ac">10</field>
</record>
</data>
</openerp>
Upon installation of this module from Apps screen, I got the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 9.0-20160719\server\openerp\addons\base\ir\ir_ui_view.py", line 344, in create
ParseError: "arch" while parsing file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Odoo%209.0-20160719/server/openerp/addons/mymodule1/views/views.xml:4, near
<record id="res_partner_field_ac" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="no_of_ac">10</field>
</record>
From the Settings -> Database Structure -> Fields I can see that res.partner has the no_of_ac field, but the field is not visible while editing any customer details.
That's because you're missing the arch field with describes the type of view (either xml or html), in most cases xml is just fine,
You're also missing the model name, the view name, so odoo doesn't know which model your view belongs to. you also have to specify the existing model form you want to over-ride and the position where you want the new field to be, in this case i used an xpath expression to display the field after the website field in the parent view, it can be anywhere you want it to be.
<openerp>
<data>
<record id="res_partner_field_ac" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">res.partner.form</field>
<field name="model">res.partner</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_partner_form"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//field[#name='website']" position="after">
<field name="no_of_ac" />
</xpath>
</field>
</record>
</data>
</openerp>
also you don't need to specify _name if you just want to extend a model and add extra fields to it, so change your model code to this
from openerp import models, fields, api
class SeicoPartner(models.Model):
_inherit = 'res.partner'
no_of_ac = fields.Integer('No of AC', default=0)
review = fields.Char('Company Review')
If you want to add a data record you should use res.partner as model and define the required fields:
<record id="res_partner_field_ac" model="res.partner">
<field name="no_of_ac">10</field>
<field name="name">NEW PARTNER NAME</field>
<!-- define required fields -->
</record>
To define a view, take a look at Odoo views
You are inserting a new record in ir.ui.view data model.
<openerp>
<data>
<record id="res_partner_field_ac" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="no_of_ac">10</field>
</record>
</data>
</openerp>
But you want to insert data to : res.partner
<openerp>
<data>
<record id="res_partner_field_ac" model="res.partner">
<field name="name">a name here because it's required when the field type != 'contact' </field>
<field name="no_of_ac">10</field>
</record>
</data>
</openerp>
NOTE :you encountered a problem because arch is a requrired field inir.ui.view model.
I am trying to customize the crm lead object. Class is defined this way
class yvleads(models.Model):
_inherit = 'crm.lead'
_name = 'crm.lead'
Now I added a menu item to display the added elements for which I have both a tree view and a form view. I have added a lett menu item referening a ir.actions.act_window. When this action is defined as
<record model="ir.actions.act_window" id="yvleads_mgt">
<field name="name">Leads Yves</field>
<field name="res_model">crm.lead</field>
<field name="view_type">form</field>
<field name="view_mode">form,tree</field>
<field name="view_id" ref="tree_view_yves_leads"/>
</record>
this works fine for the list-tree view but when I click on any item or the create button, I get the default form view for crm.
To add my customized view for form also, my understanding of odoo documentation is that I should use view_ids element but I was not able to get it right
I have tried several syntaxes with/without brackets, using eval="" or inside the xml definition but with no success. Searching this forum for string name="view_ids" was not very helfull, may be it is not the best practice to do that? any help appreciated
<record model="ir.actions.act_window" id="yvleads_mgt">
<field name="name">Leads Yves</field>
<field name="res_model">crm.lead</field>
<field name="view_type">form</field>
<field name="view_mode">form,tree</field>
<field name="view_ids">(tree,tree_view_yves_leads),(form,form_view_yves_leads)</field>
</record>
this is the right syntax :
<field name="view_ids"
eval="
[
(5, 0, 0),
(0, 0, {'view_mode': 'tree', 'view_id': ref('tree_external_id')}),
(0, 0, {'view_mode': 'form', 'view_id': ref('form_external_id')}),
]"
/>
The view_id you used in your action is valid only when you click on the menu connected to that action.
What you need to use is view inheritance, i.e. you need to redefine the existing views:
<record id="new_view" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">new view</field>
<field name="model">crm.lead</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="crm_lead.existing_view_id"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<data>
...
</data>
</field>
</record>
inside the data tag you can accomplish the modifications you need following the instructions in the provided link.
In theory you could also change the whole view, but this could ba problematic if other modules inherits that same view.
This way every time you open crm.lead model in any way, your view is used.
Btw the correct syntax for view_ids would be:
<field name="view_ids" eval="[(6, False, [ref('view_id_1'), ref('view_id_2')])]">
I think very useful for this link so please check it.

I'm having a problem with the create button appearing in tree view. Neither does the next or previous buttons appear in the form view. However, the data is being retrieved from the database.
Tree form with missing buttons
The module I'm trying to make is an extended module of the human resource module, like the included HR attendance module. The extended module doesn't inherit anything and security hasn't been added yet. Only a menu item is added to the main module.
A module I previously created by inheriting the main HR module created the buttons as expected.
Expected outcome(different module)
training.py:
from openerp import fields, models, api
class ew_training(models.Model):
_name = 'hr.training'
var = fields.Char( string='variable')
training_view.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openerp>
<data>
<!-- Main Submenu -->
<menuitem id="menu_training_tree" action="action_view_training"
parent="hr.menu_hr_main" sequence="6"/>
<record id="action_view_training" model="ir.actions.act_window">
<field name="name">Training</field>
<field name="res_model">hr.training</field>
<field name="view_type">tree</field>
<field name="view_mode">tree,form</field>
</record>
<record id="view_training_tree" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">hr.training.tree</field>
<field name="model">hr.training</field>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<tree>
<field name="var"/>
</tree>
</field>
</record>
<record id="view_training_form" model="ir.ui.view">
...
</record>
</data>
</openerp>
Please try avoid using the old API
EDIT
This should be work if you are trying to call differents views in differents actions.
The problem is not the button create, the problem is that you are not calling the tree view on your action action_view_training, try adding this line after view_mode:
<field name="view_id" ref="view_training_tree"/>
EDIT
To solve your case you only need to change in the view_type, you should use form:
<record id="action_view_training" model="ir.actions.act_window">
<field name="name">Training</field>
<field name="res_model">hr.training</field>
<field name="view_type">form</field>
<field name="view_mode">tree,form</field>
</record>
It should be work perfectly!!! I hope this could be helpful for you.
Just for Information.
in action view_type tree can be used when you want to create hierarchical view, It will not give you ability to create or update record. view of company structure in Odoo is the example of view type tree.
and view_type to form in action will allow you to create normal tree, form view with ability to Create, Update, Duplicate, Delete.
Hope this helps.
