When I inherit from base view "base.view_partner_form"
it doesn't show the regular customer view as in sales, instead I got what in the pic below
My code as below
class Director(Model):
_name = 'director'
_inherit = 'res.partner'
gender = Selection([('male', 'Male'), ('female', 'Female')], default='male')
end_date = Date()
degree = Integer(default=1)
# communication tab
passport = Char()
passport_expire = Date()
driving_license = Char()
visa_date = Date()
visa_expire = Date()
<record id="view_partner_form_inherited" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">Inherited Form View</field>
<field name="model">director</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_partner_form"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<!--<xpath expr="//field[@name='fax']" position="attributes">-->
<!--<attribute name="invisible">1</attribute>-->
<!--</xpath>-->
<!--<xpath expr="//field[@name='fax']" position="after">-->
<!--<field name='gender'/>-->
<!--</xpath>-->
</field>
</record>
class Director(Model):
_name = 'director'
_inherit = 'res.partner'
This style of inheritance is extension which means 'director' model represents a new table based on 'res.partner', so that modify 'director' won't affect 'res.partner'. You may try classical inheritance below.
class Director(Model):
_inherit = 'res.partner'
Actually it works, but is there a way to inherit as extension so I can refer to the model with its name "director" not "res,partner"?
