I made a form which inherits from a form view. I added some new fields and changed some attributes, but now, I need to change this line:
<a type="open"><field name="name"/></a>
And convert it into this:
<a type="object" name="my_function"><field name="name"/></a>
How can I do this?
try this:
<xpath expr="//a[@type='open']" position="attributes">
<attribute name="type">object</attribute>
<attribute name="name">my_function</attribute>
</xpath>
edit: as a note, the expr should be defined such that it found unique node.
Thank you! I added the lines, but nothing happened. The form is still behaving in the old way.
Have you update your module?
@Ben Bernard may be because the tag is inside a page?
Yes, I stopped, started and updated the OpenERP to make the changes visible even in the XML code.
@Ben Bernard This one worked: <xpath expr="/form//page//a[@type='open']" position="attributes"> object open_line Edit your answer and I'll mark it as the right one!
Sorry, take into account only this change: <xpath expr="/form//page//a[@type='open']" position="attributes">
Did you mean the xml has changed as expected when editing the form in debug mode?
Owh.. I see. Ignore my last question. Yes, it has to make sure the xpath expr find uniq node. Thanks for the correction.
@Ben Bernard No, I add your lines to my XML code (with the modification I told you above), and after restarting and updating the service, it started to work as expected! Your answer was almost right (it did not work because the tag was inside a page, I guess).
I let my answer as the original plus some note to preserve the context of the question.
