Hi people,

just started learning python and openerp and I am pretty lousy so far, but I am trying.

My question is how to populate selection field with data from the database?

I have a 2 simple tables one with data of the employee(name, surname, emal, department) and the other called departments which only has department names.

When creating a new employee I would like to select the department from the dropdown populated with the departments from my other table. Pretty basic stuff.

class djelatnik(osv.osv):

    
    _inherit= 'department
    _name = 'employee'

    def _fetch_departments(self, cr, uid, ids, context = None):
        res=[]
        cr.execute('select id , department from departments')
        departments=cr.fetchall()
        for dep in departments:
            res.append((dep.id,dep.department))
        return res
    

    _columns = {
        'name': fields.char('name',size=30, required=True, help='name'),
        'surname': fields.char('surname', size=30, required=True, help='surname'),
     
        'odjel': fields.selection(_fetch_departments ,'Departments')
        
    }   

What am I doing wrong?

Example classes, tables, and selections, between tables in odoo.

UPDATED: with xml

    class department(osv.osv):
        _name = 'department'

        _columns = {
                 'name': fields.char('Department', size=32, required=True),
        }

    class djelatnik(osv.osv):
        _name = 'employee'

        _columns = {
            'name': fields.char('name',size=30, required=True, help='name'),
            'surname': fields.char('surname', size=30, required=True, help='surname'),
            'odjel': fields.many2one('department' ,'Departments')           
        }

your xml?

Zbik

odoo verison?

Ivan

If you are getting department,1, etc. most probably it is because the department model does not have field that is named 'name'. Or, alternatively you can set the model's _rec_name attribute to a field that you want to display. Or, alternatively you can develop the method name_get() to set the display name.

Heh, the easiest way to achieve that is to make the field many2one instead of selection.. .
If you insist on look and feel of selection field, just add widget="selection" in you xml view definition for that field.. 
 

But somethinng else seems to be the problem.. 
You have a models for employee and for department in odoo already.. 
wich you can modify/extend to your needs.. 

YOur mistake is making the wrong inheritance.. 
model djelatnik should inherit hr_employee, and model odjel should inherit hr_department
your way if mixed sou you get apples and oragnes mixed.. 

hope it helps a bit;)
