Hi,

<button name="%(create_field)d" string="Create Field" type="action" />

Button with type "action" is like above will call the action with ID="create_field". So, you have to make one action with ID = "create_field".

But you have created action with ID = "%(create_field)d" is not good. please change it with ID = "create_field"

I hope this will help you. If you have still any issue then let me know.

Or 

You can put the button type="object" and make one function into python with same name as button name.

in your case :

<button name="create_field" string="Create Field" type="object" />

In your python code put the function as like below.

def create_field(self, cr, uid, ids, context=None):

        return {
            'name': _('My Form'),
            'view_type': 'form',
            'view_mode': 'form',
            'res_model': 'my.form',
            'view_id': False,
            'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
        }

It will open one window to create record of the model 'my.form'. If you want to open window to create 'my.form2' then just replate 'res_model' value with 'my.form2'.

thats it.

Hi

Try like this ...

<button type="action" string="submit" name= "%(module_name.form_action_id)d" class="oe_highlight"/>

which form u want open,put ur id mentioned in  above line( form_action-id),,, <record model="ir.ui.view" id="......."

Question is not clear. Give an example. I think you can make it through a wizard.

I agree with Arunagiri, that is the way to resolve your problem and, in the action dict definition, you push also the 'target' property to show modal dialog

In odoo 9 , 

We apply for this way

<button string="Library details" type="object"

class="oe_highlight oe_right" name="library_method" icon="fa-fire" >

</button>

@api.multi

def library_method(self):

print self._context

course_form = self.env.ref('college.return_form', False)

return {

'name': 'New Course',

'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',

'res_model': 'college.return',

'view_type': 'form',

'view_mode': 'tree,form',

'target': 'self',

'views': [(course_form.id, 'form')],

'view_id': 'course_form.id',

'flags': {'action_buttons': True},

}

Hi,

Refer this site, it might be help u.

Creating Smart Buttons in Odoo

1. Add required fields to the model so you can store your calculations

voucher_count = fields.Integer(compute='_voucher_count', string='# of Vouchers')

account_voucher_ids = fields.One2many('account.voucher', 'partner_id', 'Voucher History')

2. Create a custom view template and use the interhit id that matches the external id of the form 

<record id="view_partners_form_crm2" model="ir.ui.view">

<field name="name">view.res.partner.form.crm.inherited2</field> <field name="model">res.partner</field> <field name="priority" eval="200"/> <field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_partner_form"/>

3. Use xpath in the template to tell the Odoo framework where to place your button

<xpath expr="//div[@name='buttons']" position="inside">

4. Add your Odoo smart button code to the view

<button class="oe_inline oe_stat_button" type="action" name="%(pay_view_voucher_tree)d" attrs="{'invisible': [('customer', '=', False)]}" icon="fa-usd"> <field string="Payments" name="voucher_count" widget="statinfo"/> </button>

5. Create a python function to calcuate the functional field (voucher_count)

@api.one @api.depends('account_voucher_ids','account_voucher_ids.state')

def _voucher_count(self):

        vouchers = self.env['account.voucher'].search([('partner_id', '=', self.id)])

        self.voucher_count = len(vouchers)

6. . Create a view for the action to display your results (payments in this case) when the user clicks the button

<record model="ir.actions.act_window" id="pay_view_voucher_tree">

<field name="name">Payments</field>

<field name="res_model">account.voucher</field>

<field name="view_type">form</field>

<field name="view_mode">tree,form,graph</field>

<field name="context">{'search_default_partner_id': active_id}</field>

<field name="arch" type="xml">

          <tree string="Payments">

               <field name="date"/> <field name="number"/> <field name="reference"/> <field name="partner_id"/>

                <field name="type" invisible="context.get('visible', True)"/> <field name="amount" sum="Total Amount"/> <field name="state"/>

         </tree>

  </field>

</record>
