Hi there. I want to inherit this view: account.view_account_payment_invoice_form
here is the xml code:


<?xml version="1.0"?>

<data>

            <xpath expr="//header" position="replace"/>

            <xpath expr="//div[@name='button_box']" position="replace"/>

            <xpath expr="//sheet" position="after">

                <footer>

                    <field name="state" invisible="1"/>

                    <button string="Validate" name="post" type="object" class="btn-primary"/>

                    <button string="Cancel" class="btn-secondary" special="cancel"/>

                </footer>

            </xpath>

      </data>


And I need to select one of those <xpath/> element. What I mean: I want to select an xpath with another xpath. I tried to use /*[@expr], //xpath[1], /xpath, etc and get error. ¿Can you help me please?


Thank you in advance

And sorry for my english, I'm a spanish speaker

Hi,

You can't inherit a view by this way /*[@expr], //xpath[1], /xpath 

Please try like this


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

            <field name="name">account.payment.invoice.form.inherit</field>

            <field name="model">account.payment</field>

            <field name="inherit_id" ref="account.view_account_payment_invoice_form"/>

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

               Add your expath expression and position here

                <xpath expr="" position=''>

                        Your code

                </xpath>

            </field>

</record>


Thanks

you can do this way.

inherit view and put xpath as it is just need to change position as per requirement.

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

            <field name = "name"> account.payment.invoice.form </field>

            <field name = "model"> account.payment </field>

            <field name = "inherit_id" ref = "account.view_account_payment_invoice_form" />

            <field name = "mode"> primary </field>

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

                <xpath expr = "// sheet" position = 'inside'>

                    <footer>

                    add your code here///

                    </footer>

                </xpath>

            </field>

        </record>
