res_configdefaultvaluesOdoo12.0

Dear all,

Hope everyone is ok.
I need your help on setting some default values on core Odoo "general settings" and also under "users".

For some fields I was able to do it, but this are normal fields directly related to "res.config.settings/ir.config.parameters".

What I need to do, is to activate/deactivate some core functionalities on module install and I am unable to do it.

For instance:

Under General Settings, by default Odoo activates the option "Import & Export" (module_base_import).

I want to do the same with some other options but cannot find any sample code that allows me to do it.

I have noticed that some options are "permission" related, other are "module" related (instals new modules when selected) and other are normal res.config.settings fields.
- module_base_import: module related
- group_discount_per_so_line: permission related option
- paperformat_id: normal res.config.settings option

Can anyone help me with a sample for each of the options, or some link with information about how to do it on module install?

Thank you all in advance

Best regards

PM

Hello everyone,
I have found that for each situation there is a specific approach for activating/deactivating Settings under Res Config Settings.

It's somehow tricky because we have to try to figure out where the settings are.

For settings that are related to "module install/uninstall" (usually started with module_xxxx):

1. Defined on my module "root" __init__.py:

from odoo import api, SUPERUSER_ID
def _auto_install_module(cr, registry):
    env = api.Environment(cr, SUPERUSER_ID, {})    
    module_list = ['partner_autocomplete', 'web_unsplash']        #As per an example used those 2 modules for "uninstall"    
    module_ids = env['ir.module.module'].search([('name', 'in', module_list), ('state', '=', 'installed')])
    for modules in module_ids:
         modules.sudo().button_uninstall()        #...or button_install() if I want to install

2. Added "post_init_hook" to __manifest__.py:

'post_init_hook': '_my_method_for_install_unninstall',

For settings that are related to permissions (usually started with group_xxxx):

Found the answer here (https://www.odoo.com/fr_FR/forum/aide-1/question/12-0-enable-features-in-the-res-config-settings-149566), but in my case it does not worked with "eval". I had to do it as:

<record id="my_settings_my_module" model="res.config.settings">    
 <field name="group_stock_multi_locations">True</field>
    <field name="group_stock_multi_warehouses">True</field>
</record>
<function model="res.config.settings" name="execute">
    <value model="res.config.settings" search="[('id', '=', ref('my_settings_my_module'))]"/>
</function>

As for the last one (for those I call normal settings):

Now the "eval" worked fine like:

<record id="my_settings_my_module" model="res.config.settings">
    <field eval="True" name="group_discount_per_so_line"/>
</record>
<function model="res.config.settings" name="execute">
    <value model="res.config.settings" search="[('id', '=', ref('my_settings_my_module'))]"/>
</function>


As for the last one, we can also use the "set_values()" method and force it via XML, but in this case we have to include the module name where the setting is defined. For instance: "sale.default_email_template"

Note: There still some options I was unable to activate/deactivate with the described methods but I think this will help anyone who needs.

Perhaps there are other easier and best options to use but wanted to share how did I solve my problems.

Best regards
