I developed a module and I would like add an item menu on the left and a tab to the customer's notebook.

For the menu on the left, I didn't try to find how to add this but I will see later (it's easier). For my tab I added a new view but it's not working (in comment inside my view.xml).

Could you help me.

This is my code :

my "password.py" :

from osv import osv
from osv import fields
class password(osv.osv):
 "'password Class"'

    _name='password'
    _columns=
    {
            'name':fiels.char("Name",size=128),
            'user':fields.char("Username",size=128),
            'host':fields.char("IP/HostName",size=128),
            'pass':fields.char("Password",size=128),
            'com':fields.char("Comment",size=128),            
    }
password()

my "password_view.xml ":

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

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

Hi, Try Following, In your PY, class password(osv.osv): "'password Class"'

    _name='password'
    _inherit = "res.partner"

In your XML,

<record id="password_form_view" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">password.form</field>
        <field name="model">password</field>
        <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_partner_form" />                
                  <notebook position="inside">
                       <page string="Customer Notebook">
                       </page>
                       <page string = "Password Form">
                            <field name="name"/>
                            <field name="user"/>
                            <field name="host"/>
                            <field name="pass"/>
                            <field name="com"/>
                       </page>
                  </notebook>                            
            </form>
        </field>
</record>

Hope it work for you.

It doesn't work... "ValidateError Error occurred while validating the field(s) arch: Invalid XML for View Architecture!" I added <form string="Password Form"> before <notebook position="inside"> but It doesn't still work !

GuruDev

Dear Quentin, You better edit the view file like: <code> <openerp> </data> <record id="view_partner_inherited_form" model="ir.ui.view"> <field name="name">partner.passwd</field> <field name="model">res.partner</field> <field name="type">form</field> <field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_partner_form"/> <field name="arch" type="xml"> <notebook position="inside"> <page string="Password Form"> <field name="YOUR FIELDS" nolabel="1"/> </code>

and close each tag, appropriately..

Hi Quentin, I think, you need to inherit the

res.partner model into your password.py file. Then, __name field is not required.

So this is my new password_view.xml and password.py. Some errors are not fixed but I'm on the right way :

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

<openerp>
    <data>

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

                        <field name="com_pid"/>

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

...

from openerp.osv import osv, fields

class password(osv.osv):

    _inherit = 'res.partner'

    _columns = {
        'passwords': fields.one2many('password.table')

   }
password()

class password_table(osv.osv):
    _name="password.table"

    _columns = {
            'name_pid':fields.many2one('res.partner', 'name', required=True),
            'user_pid':fields.char("UserName",size=128, required=True),
            'host_pid':fields.char("IP/HostName",size=128, required=True),
            'pass_pid':fields.char("Password",size=128, required=True),
            'com_pid':fields.text("Comment")
        }
password_table()

The menu is working but my form view is always in editing mode by default. And I have some problems may be with postgresql. The error is following : 'HINT: No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You might need to add explicit type casts.'

Somebody could help me?

<code> <record id="view_password_partner_form" model="ir.ui.view"> <field name="name">Password Partner Form</field> <field name="model">res.partner</field>

</code>
