Hi All,

I'm looking for a solution to add phone numbers in the above said format. Is there any module or any hint how to achieve this? :)

I had tried with a module named "bss_phone_numbers" and it is suggesting to take field type as "phonenumber", but no luck,

It's throwing an error "Undefined widget............". Please help me on this. I don't need any restriction or validation for phone number.
I just want to create and display a field for phone number, where user can input the number in 'XXX-XXX-XXXX' format.

Any help would be appreciated. :)

Cheers
ASP :)

agree that you  should install the Python library to do that

The best module I have found for this purpose is https://www.odoo.com/apps/7.0/base_phone/

You need to install the Python library first, ie: sudo pip install phonenumbers

That module really helped, thanks Ray! By the way, it changes, by default, all numbers to +XXXXXXXXXXX. Is there any config I could make to format, say, XX (XXX) XXXXX-XXXX

Ray Carnes

The numbers are in the format "+441132345678" during edit mode, but change to "+44 113 234 5678" when they are saved - is that what you are seeing? To change what the widget displays, change the function used in base_phone/static/src/js/phone_widget.js which leverages the library at base_phone/static/lib/js/PhoneFormat.js

Hey Ray, Thanks for the reply :) It worked fine for all partners. But for my custom module where I have phone fields, it didn't reformat the numbers. So I just added "Widget" attribute as 'phone' to those fields in my custom module. Now a link has been added for click to dial, but number is till not formatted. In edit mode it looks fine 'xxx-xxx-xxxx' but after save 'xxxxxxxxxx'. Please help me with this :)

Ray Carnes

In the Python file, change ['phone', 'partner_phone', 'fax', 'mobile'] to ['phone', 'partner_phone', 'fax', 'mobile',’YOUR_FIELD1’,’YOUR_FIELD2’] so that the code knows to apply the same validation to the extra phone field(s).

Hi Ray, the extra phone fields (phone, fax) are in my custom module and not in res_partner. So how to add those to the list? and how it'll recognize the fields from which module? :)

I don't know of a single field type (other than maybe a char field with a regular expression), but if it absolutely needs to be strictly input like that, try to make 3 char fields. One for each section with a certain size (size=3) and in your view somehow put the dashes in manually.

Does that help?

This one works great for me:

     https://github.com/menecio/odoo-addons/tree/master/web_fields_masks

It was build for Odoo7, but still works great with 8 and 9 versions.

It adds widget which you can use in your xml views like this: 

<field name="masked_field" data-inputmask="'mask': '99-9999999'" />
Masking definition:

    - 9: numeric value
    - a: alphabetical value
    - *: alphanumeric value

For my part, I use this plugin :

https://igorescobar.github.io/jQuery-Mask-Plugin/

With this one, you can manage any format on any textbox. Easy to install. I like this one.

I finally think this last one works only for input box on the frontend.
