I want to remove a group from HR Settings section using my customized module.

Section to be removed in hr.view_employee_form has been added by hr_holidays_view.xml using inheritance

hr_view.xml(view_employee_form form)

<page string="HR Settings" groups="base.group_hr_user">
           <group>
                       <group string="Active" name="active_group">
                                <field name="active"/>
                         </group>
            </group>

 </page>

Code added by hr_holidays_view.xml

 <xpath expr="//group[@name='active_group']" position="before">
          <group string="Leaves">
                   <label for="remaining_leaves"/>
                        <div>
                            <field name="remaining_leaves" class="oe_inline"/> days
                        </div>
           </group>
  </xpath>

 

Code written by me to remove that Remaining Leaves block, in my customized module is :

<xpath expr="/form/sheet/notebook/page[@string='HR Settings']/group/group[@string='Leaves']" position="replace">

</xpath>

and I am getting following error:

 

AttributeError: View definition error for inherited view 'custom_emp.emp_code_view_form' on model 'hr.employee': Element '<xpath expr="/form/sheet/notebook/page[@string='HR Settings']/group/group[@string='Leaves']">' not found in parent view 'hr.view_employee_form'

Please help!

 

Updated Full Code :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openerp>
    <data>

        <!--Employee form view -->
        <record id="emp_code_view_form" model="ir.ui.view">
            <field name="name">hr.employee.form.inherit</field>
            <field name="model">hr.employee</field>
            <field name="inherit_id" ref="hr.view_employee_form" />
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
                <xpath expr="/form/sheet/notebook/page[@string='HR Settings']/group/group[@string='Leaves']" position="replace">
                </xpath>
                <xpath expr="/form/sheet/notebook/page[@string='HR Settings']/group/group[@string='Active']/field[@name='active']" position="after"
                         <field name="working_status" />
                </xpath>
             </field>
        </record>
     </data>
</openerp>

 

Update: Above code is working well on one machine but not other one!!

Hi,

You can solve this issue by two way.

1) Just write down the inheritance as like below.

        <record id="view_employee_form_leave_inherit_to_remove_leaves" model="ir.ui.view">
            <field name="name">hr.employee.leave.form.inherit</field>
            <field name="model">hr.employee</field>
            <field name="inherit_id" ref="hr_holidays.view_employee_form_leave_inherit"/>
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
                <xpath expr="//group[@string='Leaves']" position="replace">
                </xpath>
            </field>
        </record>

 

2) Override the view of the hr_holidays like below.

        <record id="hr_holidays.view_employee_form_leave_inherit" model="ir.ui.view">
            <field name="name">hr.employee.leave.form.inherit</field>
            <field name="model">hr.employee</field>
            <field name="inherit_id" ref="hr.view_employee_form"/>
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
                <xpath expr="//group[@name='active_group']" position="before">
                </xpath>
                <xpath expr="//div[@name='button_box']" position="inside">
                    <button name="%(act_hr_employee_holiday_request)d" string="Leaves" type="action" groups="base.group_hr_user"/>
                </xpath>
            </field>
        </record>

yes

But Error point to parent view. Please post full your record.

Author

Code has been updated.....please check

change reference on inhereted view!

field name="inherit_id" ref="hr.view_employee_form"

Author

It's already there

must be (field name="inherit_id" ref="inhereted view from hr_holidays_view.xml")

Author

then how i will make changes in hr.view_employee_form?

it will apply to new view (inhereted)

That will be combination of parent view plus change

Best Answer

Change the inherit_id in your custom view to hr.employee.leave.form.inherit:

<field name="inherit_id" ref="hr.employee.leave.form.inherit"/>

I can't do that because i am making changes in hr employee form view as well....you would have seen in my code that i have added working_status field as well using xpath

Give it a try (or inherit both views.)

Author

Can't do because it's not present in any form....it has been inherited to hr employee module
