Hello, i'm writing a module for OpenErp and i have some troubles with user's first and last names.

 

this is my piece of code:

def _user_get(self, cr, uid, context=None):
    cr.execute("select id,name from resource_resource")
    return cr.fetchall()
 .....

 

_columns = {

....

'users' : fields.selection(_user_get, 'Users')

...}

 

But it doesn't work. Can someone help me?

It saves data in the table, but does't show user name and family. The rest info is displayed.

Thank you  * Bole [1]  *for your answer. I know about "'my_user':fields.many2one('res.users','User')", but the problem is that it displays too much info, such as "Language, Login and date". But i need only first and last name [1] https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/user/6104

Bole

o, so create a new view that shows only the fields you need .. in xml do like: that should do the trick of custom tree view fro many 2 one;) also you can define custom form view;) the same way

Bole

i have edited my answer so now you have example on how to show only the fields you want , and not all of them ;)

Well.. you are looking at wrong data.. 

In odoo/openerp resource_resource contains(actualy is hr_employee name i related to this field) 
 the name for employees, not users.. 

there is a table res_users where some user data is stored... (login, password, mail.. etc..) and a relation to res_partner (partner_id) wich contains actual name of user, along with other data (address, phone , mail....)

So eather you rewrite your sql acordingly (using some joins for foreign key ids..) ,

or.. simply user orm methods like.. if you want to search for user wich has login : 'someuser' it would look like:

ids = self.pool.get('res.users').search(cr, uid, [('login'.'=','someuser')])    #expecting a list of ids returned

now that you have list of ids, you can browse those records and read/modify any data stored in fields...

 

but in your case... i think it would be much easier if you do not use fields.selection.. but instead, 

define your:

_columns = {
...
'my_user':fields.many2one('res.users','User'),
...
}
 

this is common usage for many to one field, and it preserves most orm methods in it ( addins and modifying user) 
in case you want to show just a selection on the view... define a view like: (addon after comment:)
<field name="my_user" widget="selection" /> 

If you need only a few fields shown and not the default view for related field, define them in the same view like:

<field name="my_user" widget="selection" > 
    <tree>
        <field name="first_name"/>
        <filed name="last_name"/>
    </tree>
</field>

HI. Andrew 

Here right way TODO.

_columns = {

          'user_id': fields.many2one('res.users', 'Salesperson',),

}

_defaults = {
         'user_id': lambda obj, cr, uid, context: uid,

}

I suggest you to read existing code of sale module or account module, and just go through code and understand existing codes and utilize it in your modules.

Thank you. I solved this isue in the next way:

_columns = {

...

'user_id': fields.many2many('res.users'),

...

}

 

but in the xml view I inserted this string

 

<field name="user_id" string='Assigned Users' widget="many2many_tags" />
