I'm new to OpenERP and not really getting how to do this.
What I need is a new field in the purchase requisition form called “project”. A user should be able to select to which project a quotation belongs. Then if the requisition is accepted and a quotation is formed this field should also be loaded to that form (with the correct project, that was selected on the requisition).
I’ve been reading a lot on the internet, but either can’t find the answer or I just don’t understand it.
I read some stuff about needing to create your own module to customize the forms, and found some step to step explanations. But then I still don’t get how to link the fields.
So if someone could give me an answer on how to do this, or direct me to an (easy to understand) explanation. That would be great.
yes you should make a custom module for this. you will find enough tutorials on how to do that on the internet (e.g. http://www.pixelite.co.nz/article/adding-additional-fields-using-custom-module-openerp-7).
in this custom module you have to extend the model purchase.order with one new field, call it like project_id. it will be a many2one type of field and so called other object (relation) will be either project.project or project.task.
after that you have to extend the form view (and maybe the tree view) of purchase.order (xml_id: purchase.purchase_order_form). just add your field where you want to have it ;-)
now get it done :-P i hope i could've helped you :-)

Ok, you if you got Admin rights on the OpenERP System you can try it the in-system-way. just open the models menu unter settings -> technical -> database structure
search for purchase.order and open the model form view. now edit the record and add a new field like (scroll down and click "add new item"):
now you have to create a new view, to extend the original one. go to settings -> technical -> user interface -> views.
create a new one like this:
that's it. if you open a purchase order, you will see the project field right under the supplier reference.

I am creating a custom module with additional part numbers on a separate tab in the products screen. I have built the module, but am having trouble figuring out how to display the information so it matches the layout in the attached image. I have tried tree view but have not been able to get the fields on the same line. Can this only be accomplished through css or is there a table view that I am not aware of?
I also need to make sure that all of the information in row 1 stays tethered together for additional forms, etc. My plan is to make the field names for each row end with a different number (i.e. x_mfrname1,x_mfrpn1,x_mfrname2,x_mfrpn2, etc.). Can somebody please just tell me if I am on the right track. This is the initial Odoo setup for a client of mine and I don't want them to come back to me down the line and find out I forgot something. I have been scouring the internet and reading a few books but I am not completely confident.
Here is a link to a layout of what I am talking about:
MFG Part Number Tab
Thanks!
class sub_part_details(models.Model)
_name='sub.part.detail'
primary_pn=fields.Boolean('Primary P/N')
obsolete=fields.Boolean('Obsolete')
pn=fields.Char('P/N')
desc=fields.Char('Description')
upgrade=fields.Char('Upgrade')
part_detail_id=fields.Many2one('part.details')
class part_details(models.Model)
_name='part.details'
cat=fields.Char('CAT')
sub_ass=fields.Char('Subassembly')
main_ass=fields.Char('Main Assembly')
notes=fields.Text('Notes')
sub_details_ids=fields.One2Many(''sub.part.detail','part_detail_id')

I want to add possibility for clients to receive orders personally in one of our shops. I tried to find some module which gives possibility to select in which shop they want to receive order but I haven't found anything for free. Because of that I want to create new module for it. What's more I'm totally new in prestashop and I don't know where to start or how to create this module. I spend two-three days reading how to do it and these are my assumptions:
New carrier module can be created by extending CarrierModule class.
I read some articles / documentation about hooks.
I have created my first carrier module by editing module attached in this article http://www.prestashop.com/blog/en/carrier_modules_functions_creation_and_configuration/.
What I achieved is that I installed module and used hook 'BeforeCarrier' to add some layout to page after selecting my carrier.
This is how my carrier should work:
It should be a part of carrier list so customer is able to select it.
If carrier is not selected nothing hapens. If carrier is selected by customer then button 'Choose shop' should be shown.
After pressing button 'Choose shop' new window should be show with addresses of our shops (instead of new window it may be placed somewhere in current page).
Window with shop adresses will contain list of addresses with radiobuttons and button to confirm selection.
After confirmation of selection window will be closed and address should be shown as a part of carreir.
E-mail with confirmation will contain information in which shop customer can collect order.
Suppose that addresses will be hardcoded in php code.
These are my questions:
I created new carrier module so I assume it works correctly (as described here http://www.prestashop.com/blog/en/carrier_modules_functions_creation_and_configuration/).
How to add new button 'Choose shop' near selected carrier?
Can I use hooks to add 'Choose shop' button?
Where should I remember choosen shop address? Has 'Carrier' class place for it?
How to add shop address to e-mails? Should I edit layouts? Does e-mail layout contain place for it or do I need to add new 'placeholder' for it?
How to show chosen address on admin side?
To describe my problem more detail I have created few scenario (see attachment).
I will be greatful for any help.
I've posted the same question on prestashop forum.
These example are usually old and poorly written. They lack structure. But for your purpose I suppose they're ok.
Use hookDisplayCarrierList($args). Check $args to see which carrier has been selected, then return <select> element which you
shop addresses. This hook is triggered every time a user selects a carrier and is return via Ajax. Therefore, you may not use ajax here.
You should include you javascript in a file. Use hookDisplayHeader to detect when to insert this file into your page:
public function hookDisplayHeader(){
$propExists = property_exists($this->context->controller, 'php_self');
if($propExists){
$controllerName = $this->context->controller->php_self;
if(in_array($controllerName, array('order', 'order-opc'))){
// $this->context->controller->addJS($this->_path.'js/customcarrier.js');
This Javascript file should check whether a valid shop has been selected before going to the next step;
Because your Js code is in a file and the hookDisplayCarrierList cannot contain any JavaScript (because it returns Ajax),
you should also make use of hookDisplayBeforeCarrier. Here you could insert you custom carrier ID - this way you'd know
when to check for errors with your JS file.
Same question as #2.
The correct way to save the information would be to add a model. CustomCarrierSelectedAddress - or something like it.
It would have these columns: id_cart, id_shop_address;
The way you implement shop addresses is up to you. You may define them as constants or even make a new model for them.
Models arent that hard to create, you just need to declare class properties, static variable $definition that's it.
You may add you own methods. You should also add createTable()/dropTable() methods for convenience.
This is more complicated. You could:
Send your own email about selected shop address.
Search the controller method which send the email you wish to change.
Then you should override that method by copying the file to your module, delete all the other methods and
rename the class definition inside -> class AdminAddressesController extends AdminAddressesControllerCore
There should be an array of email placeholders and their values, which the controllers assigns.
for example '{order_id}'. You should add your email variable to array {chosen_shop_info} and assign whole
paragraph of text to it. Then you may use it in the actual email template which you can edit in BO.
This is more or less the only way I know to edit the existing templates, because you can't do conditional statements inside email templates.
To add chosen address to order page in BO, you should use another hook - hookDisplayAdminOrder.
here you can add your own block to be display in order summary.
To find out which hooks are available, go to Hook.php and look for method exec(). Add this line error_log($hook_name).
When you perform a specific action, executed hooks will be logged and you will see what kind of hook you need.
I have a content type that was created by another developer long ago. After deployment, the content type does not show up in the list creation screen. Even when filtering lists and custom types. It's just not there anywhere. The feature is successfully deployed and if I do a template of the list from another farm, and then create the list from that template everything works as expected.
Thanks for anyone that knows what I might be missing here.
The answer was that it needs to have a list definition added to the project.
Sharepoint is quite limited when it comes to multi-Lookups because it saves that information in strings. So I changed the Page-Property
"Elements (MultiLookup-> elementIds" on the propertyPage
to an inserted List "PageElements":
"
(SingleLookup)pageId , (singleLookup) elementId"
Because this is quite hard to maintain for my content admins I want that they can enter that information in the page properties like before instead of adding lines into "PageElements"
Therefore I want to add a control that handles that.
I do not need a solution for the task how to achieve that specific function, but a general hint how to add any custom control into a Page property.
I starting point link would be very nice. I just doen't seem to find the right words to feed google with my topic.
Solved this by using a custom field type with that logic. Basicly Described here: http://avinashkt.blogspot.de/2011/07/creating-custom-field-in-sharepoint.html
Yii framework, yii-user extension (using latest version of both, to date): how do I add a simple "checkbox" field for the profile of all users?
I am logged in as admin, and went to user/profileField/admin. I can add new field but the closest I get to is adding a "BOOL" field which is rendered as a dropdown, while I need a checkbox... . When "BOOL" is used I cannot specify the widget and even if I could, there's no documentation on those yii-user widgets.
Any help is welcome!
Open up modules/yii-user/views/user/registration.php. Around line 40, add something like this:
else if ($field->field_type=='BINARY') echo $form->checkBox($profile,$field->varname,array());
Now when you want to create a checkbox field, choose the BINARY field type. If you want to require that it's checked, add this to the 'Other Validator' field: {"compare":{"compareValue":"1"}}
I've had a look around the docs for that extension and I don't actually see a single checkbox anywhere in the screen shots or mentioned anywhere in the wiki either.
You might be able to dive in and add support for one in the places you need it, Yii nicely handles all the HTML elements so it shouldn't be too hard to add the feature in a primitive form. CHtml::checkBox() or CHtml::checkBoxList().
Then again if your already running into problems with it, it's probably going to be easier in the long run for you to write what you need yourself.
