I have 3 questions that might require a detailed answer. (Links to tutorials or good illustrations would be really helpful)
class MyController(oeweb.Controller):
_cp_path = '/some-path'
Does _cp_path denote the corresponding URL, assigned to this Controller?
Web controllers are classes in OpenERP able to catch the http requests sent by any browser. They allow to generate html pages to be served like any web server, implement new methods to be used by the Javascript client, etc.
Controllers File By convention the controllers should be placed in the controllers directory of the module. Example: web_example
âââ controllers
â âââ __init__.py
â âââ my_controllers.py
âââ __init__.py
âââ __openerp__.py
In __init__.py you must add:
import controllers
And here is the content of controllers/__init__.py:
import my_controllers
Now you can put the following content in controllers/my_controllers.py:
import openerp.http as http
from openerp.http import request
Controller Declaration
In your controllers file, you can now declare a controller this way:
class MyController(http.Controller):
@http.route('/my_url/some_html', type="http")
def some_html(self):
return "<h1>This is a test</h1>"
@http.route('/my_url/some_json', type="json")
def some_json(self):
return {"sample_dictionary": "This is a sample JSON dictionary"}
A controller must inherit from http.Controller. Each time you define a method with @http.route() it defines a url to match. As example, the some_html() method will be called a client query the /my_url/some_html url.
Refer Web Controllers
The link "Web Controllers" posted by Gopakumar N G is ONLY applicable to people developing with TRUNK and NOT for people developing controllers meant for V7.
I am not fully skilled at the art of web controllers (yet!), so I can't answer Question 1.
Question 3 : Yes, _cp_path denotes the path. The thing to remember is that the function name becomes the last part of the URL (unless you're using a function named index, which is the default page served).
Question 2: Here's my example code:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import openerp.addons.web.http as http
class SimpleController(http.Controller):
_cp_path = '/sc'
@http.httprequest
def index(self, req, s_action=None, **kw):
SIMPLE_TEMPLATE = """
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1"/>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>OpenERP V7 Simple Web Controller Example using HttpRequest</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="/sc/Page2" method="POST">
<button name="GoToPage2" value="*">Go To Page 2</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
"""
return SIMPLE_TEMPLATE
@http.httprequest
def Page2(self, req, s_action=None, **kw):
Page2_View = "<html><head></head><body>AND NOW YOU'RE ON PAGE 2</body></html>"
return Page2_View
The folder definitions and __init__.py and __openerp__.py files are just as they are in the trunk documentation. 
It's just the contents of the 'my_controller.py' file that is different.
The following modules have controllers which go into more detail:
Note: I had to restart my openerp server, and update the module (in Settings | Installed Modules | Simple Web Controller Module | Upgrade ) every time I made a change. Or else I get "Not Found".
Good Job Michael.
How do you link to the custom controller action in a form view? Or more generally how do you link to these custom created controllers?
Ramy - In my case it is a direct link from the users' Favorites in their browser. You could use a URL field, but I don't know how to do it from a button.
Hi Michael, I having a html file when i click one button this html need to show how to do this...
_cp_path stands for "CherryPy Path", even though cherrypy isn't used anymore in openerp (replaced by werkzeug in v6.1).
anyway, _cp_path is used to map controllers, like in django.
For instance,
_cp_path = '/web/export/xls'
is mapped to the xls export function.
Unfortunately there's no doc about this topic. All you can find is here: https://doc.openerp.com/trunk/web/module/
You must decorate your controller "views" for them to be served. So within your class definition all view functions must be passed to the http object by preceding your view function definition with - @openerpweb.httprequest
Hello all! Thank you for this post as it helped me tremendously. My problem arises when I restart my openerp-server instance.. my module stays installed.. however the controller that worked prior to restart will not work until I update modules list.. then it starts responding again.. any ideas why? Thank you in advance
You must create the directory static/, so that the controller is saved.
addons/web/http.py line 566
def load_addons(self):
""" Load all addons from addons patch containg static files and
controllers and configure them. """
addons/web/controllers/main.py line 182:
def module_installed(req):
# Candidates module the current heuristic is the /static dir
loadable = openerpweb.addons_manifest.keys()
modules = {}
Best regards,

_cp_path = '/sa'
@http.httprequest
def index(self, req, **kwargs):
return temp
@http.httprequest
def save(self, req, **kwargs):
environ = req.httprequest.environ
fp=environ['wsgi.input']
fs = cgi.FieldStorage(fp=fp, environ=environ)# page load forever when run to this line
f = fs.getfirst('myfile')
filepath =req.params.get('myfile')
fout = open(filepath,'w')
fout.write(f.file.read())
fout.close()
