I want to print a text file (.txt) just like how to print a pdf file in odoo. Is it there a way on how to do this feat? I've been searching in other forums with this same question but can't find a sufficient answer.
Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
- CRM
- e-Commerce
- Accounting
- Inventory
- PoS
- Project management
- MRP

Hello jmevic amortizado,
You can use below python code in some button action so you can download your text file as odoo reports
Following python code:
f_read = Your test file file_data = f_read.read()#Pass your text file data using encoding.
values = {
'name': "Name of text file.txt",
'datas_fname': 'print_file_name.txt',
'res_model': 'ir.ui.view',
'res_id': False,
'type': 'binary',
'public': True,
'datas': file_data.encode('utf8').encode('base64'),
}
#Using your data create as attachment.
attachment_id = self.env['ir.attachment'].sudo().create(values)
#Prepare your download URL download_url = '/web/content/' + str(attachment_id.id) + '?download=True'
base_url = self.env['ir.config_parameter'].get_param('web.base.url')
# Return so it will download in your system return {
"type": "ir.actions.act_url",
"url": str(base_url) + str(download_url),
"target": "new",
}
Hope this helps you!
Thanks.
