server_action python odoo7 developing

Hello, I have Odoo 7 over Windows XP.

I am trying the software and I need to develop new features but I think that I don't need to develop a complete module, for example:

*I want to update the cost price of the product when I confirm a purchase order, with the price of the product in this PO.

*I want to automatically update the sale price of the product when the cost price changes.

My question is, where can I found documentation to get started in programming of server actions, workflows, activities, etc? I need tutorials.

Thanks!

Have a look here:

https://www.odoo.com/documentation/8.0/index.html

But you should work with modules. If not your changes will be gone after update.

@José, I agree with guido, I highly recommend using modules to create the changes that you require rather than just updating using the Odoo interface. There is a good book for getting started with odoo here:

https://www.packtpub.com/hardware-and-creative/working-openerp

which covers some basic module creation for v7 aimed at first time users looking to implement OpenERP 7 (ie. now Odoo 7)

as well as some online documentation here:

https://doc.odoo.com/contribute/05_developing_modules/
http://openerpbook.com/index.html

as well as some OpenERP SA documentation that is still under heavy development but may be useful found here:

https://github.com/odoo-dev/odoo/tree/designers-doc/doc
https://github.com/odoo-dev/odoo/tree/8.0-moredoc-xmo/doc

if however you have a basic idea of how to create a basic Odoo module then I suggest you split your questions into one forum post each and pose them to the community forums here. Provide as much detail as possible for what you are trying to achieve and you may find community members can offer you some suggestions on how to accomplish what you need to.
