Hello,I know it's very late to answer this question. But I'm answering for the upcoming people who are facing the same issue.
We can open a wizard from "print" option. we have to use the "<act_window id='.....". Inside the act window, you can give the attribute "binding_type". The binding_type have the two options which are "action" and "report". In your case you've to select the "report" option. So that you can popup (wizard) as per your requirement.
Example:
<act_window id="yourid"
name="Name"
res_model="your.wizard"
binding_model="in.which.model.you.have.to.bind.it"
view_mode="form"
binding_views="list"
binding_type="report"
target="new" />
Thank you !!
@Umashankar. Short answer: yes. There are 3 types of buttons which is indicated by it's type: worfklow (default and usually not stated), action (type='action'), and object (type='object').
- Object buttons can be used to call the related model's method. The name attribute of the button is the name of the method. A sample of this type of button in OpenERP 7 is "Set to Draft" button of account.invoice. It calls account.invoice's action_cancel_draft method. (For most of the samples I've stated here, you can check addons/account/account_invoice_view.xml and addons/account/account_invoice.py)
- Workflow buttons are used to call a workflow transition. The name attribute of the button is the signal of the workflow transition. A sample of this is "Validate" button of account.invoice. It sends the invoice_open signal to account.invoice's workflow.
- Action buttons are used to call an action. The name attribute of the button is the action's ID (which is represented by the XML ID). A sample of this is "Re-Open" button of account.inoice. It calls the action_account_state_open action, which will open a window of a wizard.
Now, more on the actions, there are at least 4 types of actions, AFAIK: window (which will display a view), report (which will execute a report), clients (which calls a method in client and AFAIK cannot be used properly in buttons), and server (which will execute a method).
So, if you want to call a method from a button, you have 2 alternatives: use an object button, or use an action button that calls a server action. Samples of server action can be found in odoo/addons/stock/wizard/stock_partial_move_view.xml, e.g. action_partial_move_server action calls a code. The action is called by "Process Partially" button in odoo/addons/stock/stock_view.xml.
Hi Ivan, You from??
Hi ivan i just wanted to add option in the dropdown menu in the print button is it possible
@Umarshankar, no. But you can add that to the More button. The 'action_partial_move_server' sample that I gave above is also available through the More button. It is done through creation of ir.values record which you can also find in odoo/addons/stock/wizard/stock_partial_move_view.xml.
How can we do using this Ivan i cant understand
I would suggest that you look at the example first. It is quite simple.
You can add a undermenu in the print button.
You have to use in act_window key2="client_print_multi" for the more button. Instead of key2="client_action_multi for the more button
