Can you post more details about how your module is done e.g. the codes of xml-file. Always when I create a module those create and import buttons appear automatically if you have connected menus and actions right way.

Author

thank you very much. I updated my question.

Author

Would you please publish one of your modules that shows those create button and import. So I can see if there is any difference. Is it possible for you to share one of your modules? Thank you very much.

Ok, I added my module codes on my answer.

Couldn't spot any problem from your code but remembered another thing you may need: access rules.

So create folder security in your module folder and create a csv file named ir.model.access.csv and put there following two lines and add path security/ir.model.access.csv to your __openerp__.py file:

id,name,model_id:id,group_id:id,perm_read,perm_write,perm_create,perm_unlink
access_backgound_task,background.task,model_background_task,base.group_user,1,1,1,1

of course if you don't want to provide access to your background task to every one in group "user" you can define more limited group and if there is different levels of access to your module you can create different rules for different rules.

If you don't want to define these rules on csv file you can create the in Settings/Security/Access Control list however if you create them this way you have to redefine them every time you install your module with csv file they will be automatically created when your module is installed.

Hope this helps...

Edit: Here is code for one module that shows the create and edit buttons.

xml file only difference I noticed compared to your file is that I had added a group for my menu action but removing that group specification didn't hide create buttons so that's not a problem.

    <record model="ir.ui.view" id="balance_tree_view">
      <field name="name">hr.attendance.balance.tree</field>
      <field name="model">hr.attendance.balance</field>
      <field name="type">tree</field>
      <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <tree string="Balance Overtimes">
          <field name="name"/>
          <field name="employee_id"/>
          <field name="balance"/>
          <field name="description" />
        </tree>
      </field>
    </record>

    <record model="ir.ui.view" id="balance_form_view">
      <field name="name">hr.attendance.balance.form</field>
      <field name="model">hr.attendance.balance</field>
      <field name="type">form</field>
      <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <form string="Balance Overtimes">
          <field name="name"/>
          <field name="employee_id"/>
          <field name="balance"/>
          <field name="description" />
        </form>
      </field>
    </record>

    <record id="open_view_balance" model="ir.actions.act_window">
        <field name="name">Balance Overtimes</field>
        <field name="res_model">hr.attendance.balance</field>
        <field name="view_type">form</field>
        <field name="view_mode">tree,form</field>
        <field name="view_id" ref="balance_tree_view"/>
    </record>


    <menuitem action="open_view_balance" id="menu_open_view_balance" parent="hr_attendance.menu_hr_attendance" sequence="20" groups="base.group_hr_manager"/>

python file:

import time

from openerp.osv import fields, osv
from openerp.tools.translate import _


class hr_attendance_balance(osv.osv):
_name = "hr.attendance.balance"
_description = "Balance attendances by adding removing hours"

_columns = {
    'name': fields.datetime('Date', required=True, select=1),
    'description': fields.char('Description', size=64),
    'employee_id': fields.many2one('hr.employee', "Employee", required=True, select=True),
    'balance': fields.float('Balance', required=True)
}
_defaults = {
    'name': lambda *a: time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'),
}

and access rules file:

id,name,model_id:id,group_id:id,perm_read,perm_write,perm_create,perm_unlink
access_hr_attendance_balance,hr.attendance.balance,model_hr_attendance_balance,base.group_hr_user,1,1,1,1

Thank you very much for your help, but I already have the ir.model.access.csv identical yours... I don't understand why the header don't shows... :-(

Author

I compared my module with yours and since everything is right on my module I installed it on a fresh OpenERP database and now it's showing the header! Thank you very much for your help :-)

Ok good that it is working for you now. :)

Try with this:

<record id="action_background_task" model="ir.actions.act_window">
        <field name="name">Background Tasks</field>
        <field name="res_model">background.task</field>
        <field name="view_type">form</field>
        <field name="view_mode">tree,form</field>
        <field name="domain">[]</field>
        <field name="view_id" ref="background_task_tree"/>
        <field name="search_view_id" ref="background_task_filter"/>
        <field name="help" type="html">
          <p class="oe_view_nocontent_create">
            Click to create a quotation that can be converted into a sales
            order.
          </p><p>
            OpenERP will help you efficiently handle the complete sales flow:
            quotation, sales order, delivery, invoicing and payment.
          </p>
        </field>
    </record>
    <menuitem id="menu_background_task_config" name="Background Tasks Configuration" parent="base.menu_custom"  groups="base.group_no_one" sequence="16"/>
    <menuitem id="menu_background_task" action="action_background_task" parent="menu_background_task_config"/>

the only difference is that the menu moved to the technical part and has a submenu now. Still no header with standard buttons... :-( I'm going crazy.......
