Odoo8: create quotation from backorders - odoo

What method is responsible for the creation of quotation? i looked in sale.py but i can't find it. Indeed i want to use that method in backorders process to create a quotation from the backorders.

A quotation is a sale.order in draft state. The method that creates records for the sale.order model is the create method. Indeed this applies to all the models of Odoo/openerp. You can find this method around line 362 in addons/sale/sale.py

To create a sale order in draft mode (which is a quotation). You simply need to call the create method for the 'sale.order' model. Something like the following:
self.env['sale.order'].create({
'state':'draft',
'partner_id':
....
})
Put all the other values inside the dictionary as per your needs.

How can we make an Item in socialengine?

I know how to get an item of the particular table. Like for user we can have
$userItem = Engine_Api::_()->getItem("user", $userId);
or for a custom table
$customItem = Engine_Api::_()->getItem("custom", $customeId);
I want to know the code or method how can I make my $customItem to work the same way as $userItem works for users table. So that I can get data or manipulate the data of custom table
Thanks for your help. :-)
You can achieve that by creating a model. Check how it's done in /application/modules/User/Model. There is User.php file that declares User_Model_User and methods available for User such as getTitle, get Href etc.
You may use similar approach for your custom item. You will also need to create a file similar to /application/modules/User/Model/DbTable/User.php to declare table for your custom items.

Which way is it better to call ORM methods in Odoo 7?

Let's say you have in your code an object of model 'account.invoice' and inside a method you want to update the partner. I noticed that you have two ways of calling the 'write' method on model 'res.partner'. You could either do :
invoice.partner_id.write({'name': 'Mister Test'})
OR
partner_obj = self.pool.get('res.partner')
partner_obj.write(cr, uid, invoice.partner_id.id, {'name': 'Mister Test'})
I always used the second way because it is the one that is always described in documentations. However, I discovered that the first way is also working and is shorter. Is it ok to do so ?
When object is browse record than I direct write browse record object.write({'field_name': value})
invoice.partner_id.write({'name': 'Mister Test'})
This line give error because partner_id is a many2one field so it's store integer number. So you can’t use this.
For this you must to browse that partner_id and than you may to write on partner object.
And second point, if you want write something in invoice object than you can use this for example invoice.write({'field_name': value}) this will work.
Hope this make a sense.

Can we draw table in openerp Project/task/description?

I need to create a table in a task, there is no place to do it except description in tasks,
but the problem is I can't find a toold to help me with it.
I tried once to create a table using simple lines like "_" and "|" but every time we want to add things to that table it is all messed up;
So is there a solution to add a table to some TASKS descriptions ?
You could create a simple module that overrides the description field of the task to use html. You'll need a model that inherits from project.task and redefines the description field like this:
_columns = {
'description': fields.html('Description')
}
Then you can use HTML tables in your task description. The downside is that people creating tables need to be familiar with HTML as you will have to write the HTML code by yourself, not using a table tool because the OpenERP HTML editor doesn't provide that option.

Modifying one of OpenERP's core fields using a custom module

Sometimes our OpenERP users want to make a small change to a field in a core OpenERP module. For example, they want the product screen's Rack, Row, and Case fields to be longer than 16 characters.
Can I change an existing field without making changes to the module that declared it? I'd rather make the changes using our own custom module, instead of editing the product module itself.
I've got this working, but I'm hoping that someone else knows a cleaner way.
You can inherit the core module's class in your custom module, and then just declare a new field with the same name as the one you want to change. Essentially, just copy the field declaration from the core module, paste it into your custom module, and then make the changes you want. For example, our product_notes module widened the Rack, Row, and Case fields to 255 from the product module's 16.
_columns = {'loc_rack': fields.char('Rack', size=255),
'loc_row': fields.char('Row', size=255),
'loc_case': fields.char('Case', size=255)}
The reason I don't like this is that you now have duplication for all the other attributes of the field. If you change the field length, and then the core module changes the help text, you will still have the old help text. I was hoping that there would be some way when the modules are loading to go in and adjust the field attributes of your parent, but I couldn't find any hooks at the right time.
One change that you can make more easily is the default value of a field. Just declare a default value for a core module's field in your custom module, and it will replace the original default. For example, we changed the defaults for sale_delay and produce_delay from those in the product module.
_defaults = {'sale_delay': lambda *a: 5,
'produce_delay': lambda *a: 0}
In ODOO we can change any attribute of a field using xml.
<field name="loc_rack" position="attributes">
<attribute name="string">Axis</attribute>
</field>
But some case like extending the size of a field its failed.
You need to inherit the product form.
Here you go.
from openerp.osv import fields, osv
class product_product(osv.Model) # <<<v7
_inherit = 'product.product'
_columns = {
'loc_rack': fields.char('Rack', size=<your size>),
'loc_row': fields.char('Row', size=<your size>),
'loc_case': fields.char('Case', size=<your size>)
}
In simple words you just need to override the field and apply your attribute changes it will reflect.

How to assign unique id attribute to each table row of a CGridView?

I am attempting to assign a unique id to each table row in Yii's CGridView.
Preferably something like $data->id from the database table.
I have been unsuccessful at adding an id attribute to each rendered <tr>.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
CGridView have an option called 'rowHtmlOptionsExpression' , you can declare like the followings to assign row an id
'rowHtmlOptionsExpression' => 'array("id"=>$data->id)',
It's better than hacking into 'rowCssClassExpression'
Good luck !
Modern solution (since Yii 1.1.13)
This is now possible to do using the rowHtmlOptionsExpression attribute, which allows assigning arbitrary HTML attributes to each rendered table row. For example:
'rowHtmlOptionsExpression' => '["id" => $data->id]'
Original answer (earlier versions)
Not directly possible because CGridView does not support it, but there are a couple of straightforward solutions that you can try.
Subclass CGridView (good)
Simply create your own class MyGridView extends CGridView and override the renderTableRow method to spit out ids on every row. Have a look at the stock implementation, which does for the class attribute exactly what you 'd like to do for the id attribute.
Use a CSS class instead (not so good)
Speaking of class attributes, the rowCssClassExpression property can be used to dynamically generate classes out of the box. IMHO this is a bad workaround, but it's there.
You could extend CGridView to add that functionality.
or be a bit hacky with rowCssClassExpression.
'rowCssClassExpression' => '\'" data-id="\' . $data->rowID'
Try the information I posted here:
How to set key value in CGrideView when grid is populated from table-view
In essence, as long as your dataprovider to the CGridview provides the data->id in a form that it understands, it will auto handle the $data->id stuff for you automatically so that it's easily available to javascript.
CGridView.rowHtmlOptionsExpression is undefined
I don't think that we can use rowHtmlOptionsExpression
