Limit selection choices - odoo

How do you limit selection options in a view? For instance account.voucher has 4 type options, but I want to display only two of them. How do you achieve that in a view definition?

If the selection is applied on a relation field (o2m, m2m) you can play with domains on the xml view itself. If the selection is actually a selection field I'm afraid you can't do this from XML.
You should be able to do that by overriding the fields_view_get (or fields_get can't remember right now). From there you can manipulate all the stuff you want but you'll have to handle python code and XML building.
grep "def $your_method_here" * into addons folder is your friend ;)

Use the domain attribute.
<field name="voucher_id" domain="[('type','in',['payment','receipt'])]"/>
This could also be done directly in the business object model:
_columns = {
'voucher_id': fields.many2one('account.voucher', 'Voucher',
domain="[('type','in',['payment','receipt'])]",
}

Modifying Domain of Many2One using Many2Many

Just to preface, I'm using Odoo 10 Enterprise.
I have a custom module with the following (these are just the relevant fields) on its form:
orange_tag_id = This is a Many2Many field with the _Checkboxes widget defined that's connected to a Tags module (we'll just call it orange.tags). This field displays six or seven tags I've created and then applied to various products within the 'product.product/template' module.
orange_child_ids = This is just a One2Many within a child module of the parent module. This lists a product_tmpl_id Many2One and then a read-only copy of orange_tag_id from the parent that just copies whatever is selected in orange_tag_id in the parent form (this was created just in case defining parent.orange_tag_id in the domain didn't work).
When a tag is selected from the orange_tag_id checkbox, it should sort of modify the domain of product_tmpl_id in orange_child_ids and then only display the products in the drop-down display that have been tagged with the selected active tag. I've managed to get this sort of working by just adding the following to the form XML view within orange_child_ids:
<field name="product_tmpl_id" domain="[('orange_tag_id.id','in',parent.orange_tag_id[0])]"/>
This will display only the products that have been tagged with the selected tag with one exception: Tag6's products (just calling it this because its ID was 6) will always display in the drop-down regardless of whether it's selected or not. If Tag2 is selected, then Tag2 and Tag6's products will display. I tried removing Tag6 from any products that had it defined, then deleting the Tag6 record, re-creating the tag, and re-applying it to the relevant products, but the issue persists. I also can only select one tag in the checkbox -- if more than one is selected, I get the following error from product_tmpl_id:
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting
This isn't as big of a deal as not having the correct records displaying, but I'd also like to resolve this, but I'm not entirely sure how.
I've searched for hours and am aware of methods where this can be done in self-hosted installations, however, we're using Odoo 10 Enterprise (I've omitted the required x_ in my aforementioned custom fields just for easier readability), and I have no access to the file system and consequently can't make modifications where that's required. I've been trying to figure this out using just the Developer Tools and my administrative access to the database's settings.
I've messed around a lot with the domain, looked through many questions and forum threads, and what I have was the only thing that worked. Is there any way to get this working correctly within the limitations of Enterprise?
Much obliged.
It appears that adding [2] after the [0] makes everything work and resolves the two issues I was having, so:
<field name="product_tmpl_id" domain="[('orange_tag_id.id','in',parent.orange_tag_id[0][2])]"/>
This will filter the results of the Many2One based on the records selected in the Many2Many field.
While [('orange_tag_id.id','in',parent.orange_tag_id[0][2])] will work, it is extremely obscure.
I advise you to go with [('orange_tag_id.id','in',parent.orange_tag_id.ids)]

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.

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

Displaying Custom Attributes in Documentum - Webtop

I am following an article that explains how to use the ICustomAttributeDataHandler class.
I am creating a custom column for the inbox screen, but the problem is that the value I set for my custom attribute is not being reflected on the screen.
As a test I am changing the task name to "whoKnows". But this code is not effecting what is output on the screen:
ICustomAttributeRecordSet.setCustomAttributeValue(i, "taskName", "whoKnows");
(I am able to print debug lines from my custom class when the inbox is viewed, so I know my code is being run.)
Someone on the comments of that article wrote:
the user must call the
"setCustomAttributesInQuery() method
on the dataprovider passing in a
string array of the custom attributes
...what does that meen? Could this be my problem?
thanks.
To be honest, I have already used Webtop, but just as an user. I found a post in the dm developer discussion group that can be useful, though:
For creating a custom column in the
doclist you dont need to go through
this complex procedures. You can use
custom attribute datahandlers for
this.
First in your object list component xml file add your custom column
definition in the "columns" tag. You
can even add static columns instead of
the documentum attributes.
Now create a class which implements the ICustomAttributeDataHandler.
Implement the default the methods getRequiredAttributes and the getData
function.
In getRequiredAttributes add attributes of the object that you are
looking for.
In your getdata method retrieve each row and then based on the
attribute that you see, just set the
value that you want to. 6) Finally
define your class in the app.xml file
There is a section in WDK developement
guide regarding
ICustomAttribuetDataHandlers. Look for
the topic named "Adding custom
attributes to a datagrid".
I'm not sure if this is the final solution, but I hope it helps!
To answer you question about setCustomAttributesInQuery()
every datagrid in WDK is backed by an underlying data provider. You can get this proivder by using the following code.
Datagrid datagrid = (Datagrid)getControl("doclist_grid",com.documentum.web.form.control.databound.Datagrid.class);
DataProvider dp = datagrid.getDataProvider();
Once you've done that, you can call
dp.setCustomAttributesInQuery(myArr);
I'm not actually sure if this is part of the solution to your problem, but you could try this and see where it gets you.
You have to configure the inbox component.
if using classic view, go to inboxlist component and add your custom attribute.
<column>
<attribute>CustomAttributeName</attribute>
<label>Custom Attribute Label</label>
<visible>true</visible>
</column>
Your custom attribute has to be in a custom type that is a sub type of dmi_queue_item, because inboxlist shows only dmi_queue_item objects.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Tejas.
This may be a non-issue, but based on your code, I can't tell if you're doing this:
ICustomAttributeRecordSet.setCustomAttributeValue(i, "taskName", "whoKnows");
or this:
ICustomAttributeRecordSet rs;
rs.setCustomAttributeValue(i, "taskName", "whoKnows");
You should be calling the setCustomAttributeValue method on the rs object instance, not on the interface.
