Please help me, I need to filter leave requests by department depending on the department of the user logged in.

I tried simple Print inside the method it is working but it doesn't open the action window

Please tell me what's wrong or if there's easier way to do it. Thank you so much in advance.

Here's my code: 

Py:

    @api.multi

    def leave_filter_act(self):

        hr_emp = self.env['hr.employee'].search([('user_id', '=', self.env.user.id)])

       print hr_emp.department_id.id  #this is working

        return {

                'name': _("Leave Approvals"),

                'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',

                'res_model': 'hr.holidays',

                'view_mode': 'tree,form',

                'view_type': 'form',

                'views': [[False, 'tree'],[False, 'form'],],

                'context': {'search_default_department_id': [hr_emp.department_id.id]},

                'target': 'current',

            }

XML:

<record id="action_server_leave_filter" model="ir.actions.server">

          <field name="name">Leave Filter</field>

          <field name="model_id" ref="model_hr_holidays"/>

          <field name="code">env.get('hr.holidays').leave_filter_act()</field>

 </record>


 <menuitem

            id="menu_open_department_leave_approve_offcr"

            name="My Department"

            parent="hr_holidays.menu_hr_holidays_approvals"

            action="action_server_leave_filter"/>

Hello  Deb Joy

replace your 'action_server_leave_filter' record with this one

<record id="action_server_leave_filter" model="ir.actions.server">

          <field name="name">Leave Filter</field>

          <field name="model_id" ref="model_hr_holidays"/>

          <field name="state">code</field>

          <field name="code">action =  env.get('hr.holidays').leave_filter_act()</field>

 </record>


I hope it's work fine in your case.

hello into python you can do like

def leave_filter_act(self):
    action = self.env.ref('module_name.action_server_leave_filter').read()[0]   
 return action

if you used the ir.actions.server if the user press back then forward from the browser the filter will be removed

Hi, I have slightly similar case. I am trying to call a method that calls a google maps report produced in python because with qweb was too difficult. 

<record id="action_map_report" model="ir.actions.server">
<field name="name">Reporte Google Maps</field>
    <field name="condition">True</field>
    <field name="type">ir.actions.server</field>
 <field name="model_id" ref="model_operaciones_servicios"/>
    <field name="state">code</field>
    <field name="code">action=self.generar_reporte_gmaps_servicios(cr,uid,context.get('active_ids'), context=context)</field>
</record>
<record model="ir.values" id="ir_operaciones_servicios_map_report">
    <field name="key2">client_action_multi</field>
    <field name="name">Analisis Recorrido en Google Maps</field>
    <field name="value" eval="'ir.actions.act_window,' + str(ref('operaciones.action_map_report'))" />
    <field name="key">action</field>
    <field name="model">operaciones.servicios</field>
 </record>

Here is the method that I am calling that is in the operaciones.servicios class:

@api.model
def generar_reporte_gmaps_servicios(self):
    fecha1 = self.fecha_reporte[:8] + '01'
    return {
        "type": "ir.actions.act_url",
        "url": "/web/operaciones/gmaps/servicios?ids=%s" % (self.ids),
        "target": "self",
        }

When a load the operaciones.servicios form returns this error:

When I delete the actions the form loads OK. What is wrong please?
