I am trying do display a form in read only mode;
I am trying to hide/disable the whole form header if posible; if not individual elements: bread crumbs, buttons (edit, create, more, delete, duplicate, next, previous) from the Form.
as shown in red selections
I tried modifying the invisible attribute using xpath as shown in
hide buttons Create, Delete and Edit
<xpath expr='/form/group/button[#string="Edit"]' position="replace">
<button type="action" attrs="{'invisible': [('uid','!=',0)]}" />
</xpath>
but all I can manage is this:
How to hide the header section or it's individual elements?
What Is the best practice in OpenErp 7 to make a form in read only mode.
Thanks
Hide it in /openerp/addons/web/static/src/xml/base.xml at line number 510
To hide the more button go to /addons/web/static/src/css/base.css and find:
.openerp .oe_sidebar {
white-space: nowrap;
}
and replace it with:
.openerp .oe_sidebar {
display: none;
white-space: nowrap;
}
This will hide the element so that the browser does not render it, it however will still be visible in the source code.

I would like to customize typeahead / bloodhound's display of the results list by adding a clickable font awesome icon. The use case is to allow users to initiate editing of one of the result items, rather than selecting it.
Is this possible?
I have added this suggestion template:
suggestion: function(el){
return '<div><strong>' + el.value + '</strong>' +
'<span style=display:inline-block; float:right;">
<i class="fa fa-minus-circle"></i><span></div>'},
}
This displays the icon and makes it clickable, but the icon is displayed right next to the el.value.
The answer is to not use inline styles, instead add a new class definition:
.tt-suggestion span {
display: : inline-block;
float: right;
}
and the icon is displayed correctly, aligned at the end of the suggestion row.
I am trying to find a way to display the checkbox and some text to the right properly. The default way the MVC View lays them out puts the checkbox below the label / text. So I tried to get them on the same line with this simplified code, but the text still rides up about half a line above the checkbox. How can you display a checkbox and some text to the right of the checkbox on the same line with proper vertical alignment for the text on the right? Thank you!

This must be a CSS issue. The standard site.css might cause that behavior:
label {
**display: block;**
font-size: 1.2em;
font-weight: 600;
}
If you change it to
display: inline
it should work. The following lines in the standard site.css can help you too:
label.checkbox {
display: inline;
}
Write your checkbox like something as:
<label class="checkbox">#Html.CheckBox("MyName", false) My text</label>
How can I internationalize the button text of the file picker? For example, what this code presents to the user:
<input type="file" .../>
It is normally provided by the browser and hard to change, so the only way around it will be a CSS/JavaScript hack,
See the following links for some approaches:
http://www.shauninman.com/archive/2007/09/10/styling_file_inputs_with_css_and_the_dom
http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/inputfile.html
http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/showtopic15621.htm
Pure CSS solution:
.inputfile {
/* visibility: hidden etc. wont work */
width: 0.1px;
height: 0.1px;
opacity: 0;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
z-index: -1;
}
.inputfile:focus + label {
/* keyboard navigation */
outline: 1px dotted #000;
outline: -webkit-focus-ring-color auto 5px;
}
.inputfile + label * {
pointer-events: none;
}
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" class="inputfile">
<label for="file">Choose a file (Click me)</label>

Take a step back! Firstly, you're assuming the user is using a foreign locale on their device, which is not a sound assumption for justifying taking over the button text of the file picker, and making it say what you want it to.
It is reasonable that you want to control every item of language visible on your page. The content of the File Upload control is not part of the HTML though. There is more content behind this control, for example, in WebKit, it also says "No file chosen" next to the button.
There are very hacky workarounds that attempt this (e.g. like those mentioned in #ChristopheD's answer), but none of them truly succeed:
To a screen reader, the file control will still say "Browse..." or "Choose File", and a custom file upload will not be announced as a file upload control, but just a button or a text input.
Many of them fail to display the chosen file, or to show that the user has no longer chosen a file
Many of them look nothing like the native control, so might look strange on non-standard devices.
Keyboard support is typically poor.
An author-created UI component can never be as fully functional as its native equivalent (and the closer you get it to behave to suppose IE10 on Windows 7, the more it will deviate from other Browser and Operating System combinations).
Modern browsers support drag & drop into the native file upload control.
Some techniques may trigger heuristics in security software as a potential ‘click-jacking’ attempt to trick the user into uploading file.
Deviating from the native controls is always a risky thing, there is a whole host of different devices your users could be using, and whatever workaround you choose, you will not have tested it in every one of those devices.
However, there is an even bigger reason why all attempts fail from a User Experience perspective: there is even more non-localized content behind this control, the file selection dialog itself. Once the user is subject to traversing their file system or what not to select a file to upload, they will be subjected to the host Operating System locale.
Are you sure you're doing your user any justice by deviating from the native control, just to localize the text, when as soon as they click it, they're just going to get the Operating System locale anyway?
The best you can do for your users is to ensure you have adequate localised guidance surrounding your file input control. (e.g. Form field label, hint text, tooltip text).
Sorry. :-(

This answer is for those looking for any justification not to localise the file upload control.
You get your browser's language for your button. There's no way to change it programmatically.
much easier use it
<input type="button" id="loadFileXml" value="Custom Button Name"onclick="document.getElementById('file').click();" />
<input type="file" style="display:none;" id="file" name="file"/>
I could achieve a button using jQueryMobile with following code:
<label for="ppt" data-role="button" data-inline="true" data-mini="true" data-corners="false">Upload</label>
<input id="ppt" type="file" name="ppt" multiple data-role="button" data-inline="true" data-mini="true" data-corners="false" style="opacity: 0;"/>
Above code creates a "Upload" button (custom text). On click of upload button, file browse is launched. Tested with Chrome 25 & IE9.
To make a custom "browse button" solution simply try making a hidden browse button, a custom button or element and some Jquery. This way I'm not modifying the actual "browse button" which is dependent on each browser/version. Here's an example.
HTML:
<div id="import" type="file">My Custom Button</div>
<input id="browser" class="hideMe" type="file"></input>
CSS:
#import {
margin: 0em 0em 0em .2em;
content: 'Import Settings';
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid;
border-color: #ddd #bbb #999;
border-radius: 3px;
padding: 5px 8px;
outline: none;
white-space: nowrap;
-webkit-user-select: none;
cursor: pointer;
font-weight: 700;
font: bold 12px/1.2 Arial,sans-serif !important;
/* fallback */
background-color: #f9f9f9;
/* Safari 4-5, Chrome 1-9 */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(#C2C1C1), to(#2F2727));
}
.hideMe{
display: none;
}
JS:
$("#import").click(function() {
$("#browser").trigger("click");
$('#browser').change(function() {
alert($("#browser").val());
});
});
Actually, it is possible to customize the Upload File button with its pseudo selector: ::file-selector-button.

There is some drawbacks using textarea and input-text as input of text forms. textarea has a little annoying triangle in right-lower corner and input-text is a single-line input.
I try to have a input of text like the facebook update input form. The input auto resize after linebreaks. And the element or tag used was <div>. I said "used" because, after they redesigned Facebook, I can't figure-out which tag is used now. There is CSS property that enables the user to edit the text in a div element. I actually copied the CSS property, but now I lost it. Can someone tell me which CSS property it was? I have a weak memory that it began with the -webkit prefix though
If you use html5 you can use:
<div id="divThatYouCanWriteStuffIn" contenteditable>
<!-- you can write in here -->
</div>
If you couple this with the css:
#divThatYouCanWriteStuffIn {
min-height: 4em; /* it should resize as required from this minimum height */
}
To get rid of the 'annoying little triangle' in textareas:
textarea {
resize: none;
}
JS Fiddle demo of both ideas.
I know you can do this in javascript by doing getElementByID('mydiv').contentEditable='true';, but I do not know how this would be done in CSS
The Facebook update input field is a TEXTAREA element. The trick is to use the resize property:
textarea { resize:none; }
That will make the triangle disappear.
You should be able to add your style to a textarea like you do with tags like p, h1, h2 etc..
So you can target all textareas or ones with specific classes or ids on them
Example:
textarea {
font-size:11px;
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight:normal;
line-height:140%;
color:black;
margin:0 0 5px 5px;
padding:5px;
background-color:#999999;
border:1px solid black;
}
This example will target all textareas on the page.
Change textarea to .nameOfClass or #nameOfId if you want to target a class or an id.
Hope this helps.
there are clear, clear all buttons on richfaces fileUpload component.
<rich:fileUpload id="quoteFile" tabindex="10" listHeight="80" maxFilesQuantity="1" onuploadcanceled=""
clearControlLabel=""
clearAllControlLabel=""
acceptedTypes="xml"
fileUploadListener="#{loadSaveQuotes.uploadListener}">
<a4j:support event="onuploadcanceled" action="#{loadSaveQuotes.clearUploadData}" reRender="footer" />
</rich:fileUpload>
all I want to are:
1, remove the both buttons so that end user cannot click it. as I set clearControlLabel to "", and clearAllControlLabel to "", but only clearControlLabel is hidden. still have clear All Control appear as [x] button and I still click it
2, if I cannot remove these button, so how do I take control of them. like add an event listener to that on clear event. I added an a4j:support event but it do not trigger when I click clear button.
many thanks for your contribute.
Add an a4j:support for 'onclear' JavaScript event. The code is self-explanatory:
<rich:fileUpload id="upload">
<a4j:support event="onclear" reRender="upload"/>
</rich:fileUpload>
You can hide these buttons through CSS, e.g. you can give your fileupload an additional class like
<rich:fileUpload styleClass="my-upload"> etc. </rich:fileUpload>
and then use CSS Specificity to overrule the appearance of this fileupload component:
.my-upload .rf-fu-btns-rgh, .my-upload .rf-fu-itm-rgh {
display: none;
}
You can choose any combination of selectors that has higher specificity then the original one from RichFaces. I find having an extra class the cleanest solution, as it would allow me to have "normal" and "modified" RichFaces components next to each other, only differing in their style class.
You can look up the RichFaces style classes of the elements you want to alter in the RichFaces component documentation or with your favourite website inspection tool.
I was having the same requirement. Hide Clear All button and Clear Link but only when the file is submitted for upload. I solved this requirement with dynamic css through JavaScript. Below is the example.
rich:fileUpload control
<rich:fileUpload id="excelUploader"
fileUploadListener="#{uploadUIController.excelFileUploadListener}"
acceptedTypes=".xls"
maxFilesQuantity="1"
noDuplicate="true"
ontyperejected="Wrong file type selected !"
serverErrorLabel="Invalid file type selected !"
listHeight="100px"
doneLabel="Excel Upload Completed !"
onfilesubmit="showHideClearLink()"
styleClass="fileUploadClass"/>
Javascript code at the top of the file...
<script type="text/javascript">
function showHideClearLink()
{
var styleSheet = document.createElement('style')
styleSheet.innerHTML = ".fileUploadClass .rf-fu-btns-rgh, .fileUploadClass .rf-fu-itm-rgh {display: none;}";
document.body.appendChild(styleSheet);
}
