How to pass input box value to a button action function in OpenERP? - odoo

Question

There is an input box, labeled "Original", on the popup form, containing typed value '105-0045', picture attached. Button click action code is in the function action_replace(). What is the way to pass the input box value to the button function action_replace() when the "Replace" button is clicked?
Here is my XML code where the input box is defined:
<record id="replace_all_in_BOM_form" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">replace.all.in.BOM.form</field>
<field name="model">product.template</field>
<field name="priority" eval="20"/>
<field name="type">form</field>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<label class="text-inline" for="original_name" string="Original"
></label>
<input name="original_name" id="original_id" ></input>
<group>
<field name="default_code" string="Replacement" readonly="1"
invisible="0" />
<field name="uom_id" invisible="1" />
<field name="uom_po_id" invisible="1" />
<field name="type" invisible="1" />
<field name="categ_id" invisible="1" />
<field name="name" invisible="1" />
</group>
<button type="object" string="Replace" name="action_replace" />
</field>
</record>
<record id="action5" model="ir.actions.act_window">
<field name="name">Replace all in BOM</field>
<field name="type">ir.actions.act_window</field>
<field name="res_model">product.template</field>
<field name="view_type">form</field>
<field name="target">new</field>
<field name="view_id" ref="replace_all_in_BOM_form"/>
</record>
<record id="ir_BOM_structure5" model="ir.values">
<field eval="'client_action_multi'" name="key2"/>
<field eval="'product.template'" name="model"/>
<field name="name">Replace all in BOM</field>
<field eval="'ir.actions.act_window,'+str(action5)" name="value"/></record>
Here is the part of py code:
def default_get(self, cr, uid, fields, context=None):
product_obj = self.pool.get('product.template')
record_ids = context and context.get('active_ids', []) or []
res = {}
for product in product_obj.browse(cr, uid, record_ids, context=context):
if 'default_code' in fields:
#in 'default_code' is a field name of that pop-up window
res.update({'default_code': product.default_code, 'name': product.name, 'uom_id': product.uom_id.id,
'uom_po_id': product.uom_po_id.id, 'type': product.type, 'categ_id': product.categ_id.id })
return res
def action_replace(self, cr, uid, ids, context=None):
txt_value = ''
for record in self.browse(cr,uid,ids,context=context):
txt_value = record.original_id
return {
'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
'res_model': 'product.template',
'name': _('Replace all in BOM'),
'res_id': ids[0],
'view_type': 'form',
'view_mode': 'form',
'view_id': 1212,
'target': 'new',
'nodestroy': True,
'context': context
}

Answer 1

Whenever a button is clicked, the default behaviour of the system is to save the data first and then to execute the button click function. So in the button click you will find 'ids' of current record. Following is the way where you will get the value of that textbox.
def action_replace(self,cr,uid,ids,context=None):
for record in self.browse(cr,uid,ids,context=context):
txt_value = record.original
<<your further code>>
return True
