Here is my StackOverflow profile. you can also find me on LinkedIn.
To add page in employee after personal information tab you need to inherit the employee form view in xml like,
<record id="view_employee_form" model="ir.ui.view"> <field name="name">hr.employee.form</field> <field name="model">hr.employee</field> <field name="inherit_id" ref="view_employee_form"/> <field name="arch" type="xml"> <xpath expr="//page[@string='Personal Information']" position='after'> <page string='My new tab'> </page> </xpath> </field> </record>
hello Math
Here for you I'm adding new tab in "Quotations" of "sale" module,this is similar to your requirement
Example.py
from openerp import fields, models, api, _
class class_name(models.Model):
_inherit = 'sale.order'
<fields name="..."/>
Example.xml
<record id="view_sale_order_tree" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">view.sale.order.tree</field>
<field name="model">sale.order</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="sale.view_order_form"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//page[@string='Other Information']" position="after">
<page string="My_New_Tab">
<field name='My_new_fields'/>
</page>
</xpath>
</field>
</record>
In form view, inside <notebook> tag you can add as many pages(TAB) by this syntax
<notebook>
<page string="Your Tab1">
<field name="..."/>
</page>
<page string="Your Tab2">
<field name="..."/>
</page>
</notebook>
You need to add a new page in the notebook in the View. Are you creating an own Addon/Module to alter the partner page?
In case of you do please take a look on that:
You need to inherit from the partner view in maybe partner_view.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openerp>
<data>
<!--
Partners Extension
-->
<record id="view_partner_property_form" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">res.partner.stock.property.form.inherit</field>
<field name="model">res.partner</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="product.view_partner_property_form"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<notebook position="inside">
<page string="My New Tab">
<field name="..."/>
</page>
</notebook>
</field>
</record>
</data>
</openerp>
Then add a notebook to your view. That looks exactly as above code just without the "inherit_id" tag nor the position attribute in <notebook>. Notebook adds the Space for your Tabs to the form.
You put the code of the new File in a separate .xml file. Then you need to add the .xml in your __openerp__.py under "update_xml". Just take a look to other addons therefor.
Did that solved your Problem? If it does please mark one of the correct answers to help others to find the solution faster
Great, this works fine for me. I have a one2many field in the partner model that creates a relationship with custom model. How can I add a "Create" button to the tab so that it pop up the view of the custom model?
inside <notebook> tag, after <page string="Personal Information"> </page> put your new tab, <page string="My Tab"> </page>
How can we set one tab or page as default, i.e., when i open the screen that that tab opens by default
