Hello guys!!!

I have tried to create a new report on my OpenERP. There is several methods to do this task (openoffice plugin, XML files, RML files, etc.)

What's the quickest way to do that (and/or the most beautiful and easiest one) ?

Regards

Hi Drees,

In my opinion the quickest and best way is to use QWeb reports. The openoffice plugin is pretty outdated, RML is from V7 and is rather outdated. Odoo itself is changing all RML reports to QWeb reports at the moment, so that says enough. Writing QWeb reports is easy and there is barely anything you can't do.
I've written a detailed blogpost that explains you how to create QWeb reports, which you can find here: http://www.odoo.yenthevg.com/creating-custom-reports-odoo-8/

Thanks a lot for you are answer but i am working with mako extension and call a function defined in my python file:


def __init__(self, cr, uid, name, context):

super(journal_paie, self).__init__(cr, uid, name, context)

print ('test test')

self.localcontext.update({

'get_lines': self.get_lines,

'cr':cr,

'uid':1,

'ctxt':context,

})

def get_lines(self, cr,uid, context=None):

ret = []

obj = self.pool.get('hr.employee')

obj_ids = obj.search(cr, uid, [])

res = obj.read(cr, uid, obj_ids, ['id'], context)

for r in res :

if r['name_related'] != 'Administrator' :

line_data = dict()

line_data['name']= r['name_related']

print r['name_related']

ret.append(line_data)

return ret


like this:


% for i in get_lines():

<tr style='height:20.65pt'>

<td width=31.9 style='width:31.9pt;border:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;

background:#FCE4D6;padding:0cm 3.5pt 0cm 3.5pt;height:14.65pt'>

<p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;

text-align:center;line-height:normal'><b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;

font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Nom Employé</span></b></p>

</td>

<td width=31.9 style='width:31.9pt;border:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;

background:#FCE4D6;padding:0cm 3.5pt 0cm 3.5pt;height:14.65pt'>

<p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;

text-align:center;line-height:normal'><b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;

font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> ${i}</span></b></p>

</td>

</tr>

%endfor

Sorry Drees I've never used Mako since QWeb does all I need and more people use it. I'd suggest you to create a new topic for this issue since it doesn't have anything to do with your initial question. (besides being about reports then)
