Hello guys i know how to create a new menu item at the top level through the backend , however what i also want to do is put or inherit a already made menu items such as customers and qoutations under that menu through the backend .
For Example :
-> my newly created item
-> Customers (sales or Accounting)
-> Qoutations
-> Contracts
-> Customer Invoice
Is this possible guys ?
@ Mathias Colpaert , this is a good way of doing but what if there is a new update / soucre of odoo will the customized menu changes stay thats why i wanted to explore posibly doing it through the backend .
I don't know how to do that :) But I wouldn't spend any time trying to find out how to do that. As far as I know, the menus are saved in the database, so updating to a new version of the source won't affect them. (within the same stable release at least)
You can of course copy the menus from the other modules, and leave the existing ones be? You could do this in the backend.
Ahh yes thats exactly want i want to do , not alter the currents one but just make an alternative route , so through backend could i just copy the code , and make the parent the custom menu i make ?
Yes, but don't forget to give a new ID when you copy!
This will helpful
ORIGINAL MENU @ sale_view.xml
<menuitem action="action_orders" id="menu_sale_order" parent="base.menu_sales" sequence="5" groups="base.group_sale_salesman,base.group_sale_manager"/>
YOUR CUSTOM VIEW using XML
Create your main menu with id="new_parent_menu_id"
<menuitem id="sale.menu_sale_order" parent="new_parent_menu_id" />
(OR)
<record id="sale.menu_sale_order" model="ir.ui.menu">
<field name="parent_id">new_parent_menu_id</field>
</record>
