Please NOTE: I have put a space between http: and //blah-blah-blah/ because the system didn't allow me to post links.
Unfortunately, the OpenERP documentation SUCKS cuz it is missing small bits and pieces, some important links are broken and is quite mixed up with version 6.
For example, I was following this tutorial ( Example of module creation, https: //doc.openerp.com/trunk/server/03_module_dev_05/ ). It asked me to follow the 20 minutes tutorial first but there is no link that takes me to the 20 minutes tutorial page. I googled and however found a link but unfortunately the link gives a 404 not found error. Also at the end of this tutorial page, it suggests to download the travel agency module from http: //apps.openerp.com/ but seriously the module doesn't exist.
This is just one example. There are heaps of other similar examples to prove the fact that OpenERP documentation sucks. For example, last time I was trying to register the custom module on my freshly installed OpenERP system. It asked me to copy and paste the module folder into apps directory. Then it asked me to go to Settings->Modules->Update Modules List. But there was no such thing "Update Modules List". I had to go to Settings->Users and Edit the Access Right of the User and Check the Technical Features check box and save to be able to see "Update Modules List". Nowhere in the documentation explains this.
Im still struggling to register a simple hello world module. I followed all the steps in the documentation, changed the chmod of the module folder to 777, Updated the modules list, added a new apps_path on the config file, restarted the server a several times but still the module is not shown up in the list.
I have used Qt framework ( http: //qt-project.org/ ) to create some apps and I gotta tell you OpenERP people Qt Framework Documentation, http: //qt-project.org/doc/ Rocks. This is how the quality of a proper documentation should be.
Somebody, please help me with this tutorial. Example of module creation ( https: //doc.openerp.com/trunk/server/03_module_dev_05/ ), Thanks.
