Hi,

I'm trying to add a custom button next to the 'Create' button on the Contacts page in both Kanban and List views, which should open a wizard when clicked. I followed several blogs and tutorials to create a custom module, but after installing it, the Contacts app only opens the new contact form and hides the Kanban and List views. Has anyone done this successfully before? Any help would be appreciated!

My Implementation

list_button.xml



   
       
           
       
   


kaban_button.xml



   
       
               
       
   


list_button.js
odoo.define('button_near_create.list_button', function (require) {
    "use strict";
    var ListController = require('web.ListController');
    var ListView = require('web.ListView');
    var viewRegistry = require('web.view_registry');
    var ListButton = ListController.extend({
        buttons_template: 'button_near_create.list_buttons',
        events: _.extend({}, ListController.prototype.events, {
            'click .open_wizard_action_list': '_OpenWizardList',
        }),
        _OpenWizardList: function () {
            var self = this;
            this.do_action({
                type: 'ir.actions.act_window',
                res_model: 'test.wizard',
                name :'Open Wizard',
                view_mode: 'form',
                view_type: 'form',
                views: [[false, 'form']],
                target: 'new',
                res_id: false,
            });
        }
    });
    var PartnerListView = ListView.extend({
        config: _.extend({}, ListView.prototype.config, {
            Controller: ListButton,

    viewRegistry.add('button_in_list', PartnerListView);

            Controller: KanbanButton
        }),
    });
    viewRegistry.add('button_in_kanban', PartnerKanbanView);
});
