How to add report to the right side bar in Openerp - odoo

I would like to add a link to a new report link for a product on the right side bar of OpenERP, but i don't know where is the view. I modified the addons/product/report/init.py to add my new report but without success.

To add report to the right side bar, you have to add menu="True" attribute in your report tag.
For example:
<report
menu="True"
id="my_report_id"
string="My Report"
model="model_name"
name="service.name"
rml="your_rml_path.rml"
auto="False"
header="False"/>

How do i make and attache action to button

Hello I have created a button on my Odoo 10 form "SET geprint" now i want to attach an action to the button. If i press the button the value of the boolean geprint must change to 1. How can I make this possible?
If possible i would also like to create that button in the list view to update multiple records.
Thx for your help
I tried your code but i am getting the following error now
(name field to update is x_geprint)
button code :
You can do it via following methods.
Create object type of button in form view. you can give button type="object", after that when you click on button then system will call python method In which you can write your code.
ex:
<button name="validate" string="Validate" type="object" states="draft" class="oe_highlight"/>
#api.multi
def validate(self):
self.write({})
return True
For the list view you need to create new wizard, In which you can select number of records from list view and in list view Action select your wizard name item.
Ex:
from openerp import models, fields, api, _
class test(models.TransientModel):
_name = 'test.test'
<act_window name="Name String" res_model="wizard.model"
src_model="source.model" view_mode="form" view_type="form"
target="new" multi="False"
id="your_id"
view_id="view_id"
context="{}"/>
In source model Action menu you can select wizard link and In the wizard you will get active_ids in context.
active_ids means all list-view selected records, based on that you can do it any operations with selective records.
This may help you.
Make a server action (settings - > technical - > Server actions)
After that search for the action number in your link please see image (my number is 638)
Then go to the form where you want to add the button. In my example its stock.move
Go into edit formview and add the following code
<button name="638" string=" Set geprint" type="action" />

report print dropdown odoo

I have to add an item in print menu from purchase order tree view in odoo 8.
i am unable to find where is current Purchase Order reports added in print menu. i researched and found there is a tag from below:
https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/question/how-to-add-an-item-to-the-more-drop-down-list-in-sales-module-61833
also tried below, but i am getting qweb error :
<act_window name="Print Receiving Wkst"
res_model = "purchase.order"
src_model = "purchase.order"
key = "action"
key2="client_print_multi"
value="ir.actions.act_window,action_report_print_receivePO"
id="act_print_recevg_wkst"
/>
my custom report is in "test" module with id "action_report_print_receivePO"
I am getting error for value tag i think.
Basically i have to add new entry in print menu from purchase order tree view. so that when ever it is clicked custom report is printed. moreover if more than one PO selected, it will create PDF of all the POs
Thanks,
You don't need to go through the stress of creating an action and then adding a new item to the "More dropdown". Odoo already provides a way for you do this. just set menu = True when you're registering your report and a Print option would appear in the "More dropdown" that prints your report.
<report
id="purchase_order_report"
string="Purchase order"
model="purchase.order"
report_type="qweb-pdf"
file="purchase.order.file"
name="purchase.order.report"
menu="True"
/>
For more information on what the other parameters mean please refer to the
docs
just in case you might want to generate reports of a different types not fully supported by Odoo, such as py3o you'll definitely need to create a report action as defined in the official doc. For example:
<record id="account.account_invoices" model="ir.actions.report">
<field name="report_type">py3o</field>
<field name="py3o_filetype">odt</field>
<field name="module">my_custom_module_base</field>
<field name="py3o_template_fallback">report/account_invoice.odt</field>
</record>
However for your action to appear in the Print dropdown list, you must add two more fields to the record
<field name="binding_model_id" ref="model_my_custom_module_base"/>
<field name="binding_type">report</field>
Hope this helps anyone in the future!!
NB: Here I'm using the py3o reporting engine. Check it out as an alternative to the native qweb engine.

Qweb report report_name not working

I can't change the default name for my pdf reports. It works if I do it in the settings but I don't want to do it this way. I tried by using report_name in my <report> but it says that report_name is not an element of report. I can't figure out how to do it.
For set-up custom name of qweb report you can set attachment attribute of report.
Example is available if for invoice:
<report
id="account_invoices"
model="account.invoice"
string="Invoices"
report_type="qweb-pdf"
name="account.report_invoice"
file="account.report_invoice"
attachment_use="True"
attachment="(object.state in ('open','paid')) and ('INV'+(object.number or '').replace('/','')+'.pdf')"
/>
Try to use module : https://www.odoo.com/apps/modules/8.0/report_custom_filename/
Hope this helps.

OpenERP. Add image into field dynamically in a tree view

I am using v7 and I want to show in a tree view a field with image icons (like a semaphore) depending of other field values in the same row.
Actually, I get the functionality I want with a function field and put the result as string but I really want it as an image. I don't know if is possible to return HTML from the function so I decided to do that with jQuery.
I implemented the jQuery code using the browser console and works but when I put the jQuery code in the view the "data-field" selector does not selected.
Please, can anyone explain me why or tell me another way to get my objective?
Lists
The root element of list views is tree. The list view's root can have the following attributes:
editable, default_order, colors, fonts, create, edit, delete, on_write, string
See more about ListView
You can achieve this by defining child elements button in list view.
I have added icon in product to show whether product is available / hold / sold based on product's status.
button
icon: icon to use to display the button
Xml code to display icon in listview.
<xpath expr="//notebook/page[#string='Order Lines']/field[#name='order_line']/tree[#string='Sales Order Lines']/field[#name='product_id']" position="before">
<field name="product_status" invisible="1" />
<button icon='Hold' readonly="1" attrs="{'invisible':[('product_status', '!=', 'hold')]}"/>
<button icon='Available' readonly="1" attrs="{'invisible':[('product_status', '!=', 'available')]}"/>
<button icon='sold' readonly="1" attrs="{'invisible':[('product_status', '!=', 'sold')]}"/>
</xpath>
NOTE
Remember base field on which you defined button's visibility must be
present on listview, doesn't matter whether it's visible or not but it
must be there, like product_status in above example.
base field must be store=True.
Why store=True ?
Reason: when you set any function field store=True then it will physically created in database, while you give this field name in
domain the odoo framework add this field directly in WHERE clause,
it will not access through browsable object, so if your field is
store=False then it won't be able to find that field and gives you an error.
icons must be present in web/static/src/img/icons.
if you want to keep icons in your custom module then you have to create the same hierarchy for that in side your module folder create /static/src/img/icons and keep all the icons there.
xpath is used to define at which location you want to add/update fields.

OpenERP custom module on mobile

I am making a custom module in OpenERP. I have a list(tree) view and a form view. I can view and edit records.
When I take the mobile view of the same module, I can see the main menu and browse to the sub menu, but no list view or form view is visible. All I can see is a blank page. Is my list definition worng?
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<tree string = "Camera">
<field name = "a"/>
<field name = "b"/>
</tree>
I believe that after a menu option is selected, the following menu is a simple list with the name of each record.
It may be that you don't have any record yet.
Or it may be that you don't have a name field on the object model and views. Add that field (make it required) or, alternatively, set the object's _rec_name attribute (example: _rec_name = 'a').
OE Mobile View is read-only mode
It does not have any type of view(like, tree or for, or kanban), It just show the view of record and show you have value. It hos wht name filed valeu on list then if you click on it it open detail view which show thw other detail. and yes try and add the record on your model.
Thank You
