Hi Inam,

This is done by creating a new module in which you add an XML file. In the XML file you add a record with an inherit_id which links to the original view. An example to inherit the form view from a product:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openerp>
    <data>
        <record id="view_product_form_inherit" model="ir.ui.view">
            <field name="name">product.template.common.form.inherit</field>
            <field name="model">product.template</field>
            <field name="inherit_id" ref="product.product_template_form_view"/>
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
		<xpath expr="//field[@name='sales_price']" position="after">
		    <field name="your_new_field"/>
		</xpath>
            </field>
        </record>
    </data>
</openerp>
So what will this example do? It will inherit the product view from the module product and it will add a new field named 'your_new_field' right after the existing field 'sales_price'. The ref product.product_template_form_view links to the model product and searches for the view named 'product_template_form_view', which you can find here: https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/9.0/addons/product/product_view.xml#L69

Hi, Yenthe

I have to add a new field in customer card under website field, like you told it i wrote this in xml file :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<openerp>
   <data>  
<record id="view_partner_form_inherit" model="ir.ui.view" >
    <field name="name">res.partner.form.inherit</field>
    <field name="model">res.partner</field>
    <field eval="1" name="priority"/>
    <field name="inherit_id" ref="res.view_partner_form"/>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">    
           <xpath expr="//field[@name='website']" position="after">
            <field name="new_field"/>
           </xpath>
         </field>
      </record>
    </data>
</openerp>
and this in the python file :

class childClasse(models.Model):
 _inherit = 'res.partner.title'
field_1 = fields.Char(required=True,string="NVchamp")

but don't work :

raceback (most recent call last):
