I have to create a view from the view "view_partner_tree"(base.res_partner) without touching the original. In the view that I create, I have to add some function field (not stored). I managed to create a new module displaying the view "view_partner_tree" on a different page. Would really kind of any of you to maybe guide me a bit through it or to give me a link that might help. (I have read anything google could find me with (inheritance, view)

_description = 'Aged Partner Balance'   
def _get_not_due(self, cr, uid, ids, name, arg, context):
    res = {}
    return res

_name = 'aged.partner.balance'
_columns = {
    'not_due': fields.function(_get_not_due, type='char', string="Not Due")       
    }   


    <record id="view_partner_tree" model="ir.ui.view">
        <field name="name">res.partner.tree</field>
        <field name="model">res.partner</field>
        <field eval="8" name="priority"/>
        <field name="arch" type="xml">
            <tree string="Contacts">
                <field name="name"/>
                <field name="function" invisible="1"/>

What do you want to say about "different pages" : in a new menu or a new tab in form view?

Lawrence

in a new menu

This is an example I make to a perso module:

<record id="view_task_form2_inherit" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">project.task.form.inherit</field>
    <field name="model">project.task</field>
    <field name="inherit_id" ref="project.view_task_form2"/>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <field name="work_ids" groups="project.group_tasks_work_on_tasks" position="replace">
            <field name="work_ids" groups="project.group_tasks_work_on_tasks">
                <tree string="Task Work" editable="top">
                    <field name="id" invisible='1'/>
                    <field name="name" on_change="onchange_name(name,id)"/>
                    <field name="date" on_change="onchange_date(date,id)"/>
                    <field name="hours" widget="float_time" sum="Spent Hours" on_change="onchange_hours(hours,id)"/>
                    <field name="user_id" on_change="onchange_user_id(user_id,id)"/>
                </tree>
            </field>
        </field>
    </field>
</record>

Here the documentation about inheritance in Views in V6.1(Work with v7.0 too)

When you create a new menu, you associate this to a act_window and this act_window have to be associate to your custom view. If you need some more explication I can give it.

I have done something similar aswell. But now I want to create a new module that would looks like the page "Customers" but with like 7 more functions fields. (I read that doc a while ago, but thanks).

Bonnet Denis

Inherit from "Customers" view, add some function fields and call your new view In your module.

Lawrence

I thought that doing so would just add the new fields in the old "customers" view and wouldnt create a different view. I think I have a idea tho. Im going to try this right away. Anything i should put in the .py?

Lawrence

When I do that I get a error which says that it can't find the function field that i added in the model : "res.partner", but when i put mine "aged.partner.balance" it says that it cant render the view with this model

Lawrence

Can't find field 'not_due' in the following view parts composing the view of object model 'res.partner': Can't render view aged_partner_balance.view_partner_tree for model: aged.partner.balance

Bonnet Denis

Do you have restart the server and update your module? see http://help.openerp.com/question/1118/how-can-i-reload-source-code-without-restarting-the-openerp-server/
