Hello,

Steps to create/install the module at Odoo

• Create a folder then set the technical name for the module.Make sure the module technical name should not contain any spaces eg: “webkul_elearning_module”.
• Then create an “__init__.py” file inside the folder,You can define python packages/files inside this file.
• Then create a “__openerp__.py” file,You can define the module name(If not define the name will be ‘Unnamed’) and some other metadata.
• Now login to your Odoo.
• Then open developer mode at your Odoo from Odoo “settings”.

• Then go to the “Apps” menu.
• Inside the “Apps” menu you will see a button “Update App List”.

• Click on that button.
• Then check the module using the module name.
• After that, you will find your module inside the app list.
• Then click on the “install” button in order to install your module at Odoo end.

You can follow the steps mentioned in the blog. However, you need to replace "__manifest__.py" to "__openerp__.py" from verson before Odoo V9.

Regards

Take a look at: https://www.odoo.com/forum/Help-1/question/How-i-can-create-module-openerp-7--16336 it has links to several examples.

For starters, do a simple test with:
__init__.py
(with import of your py file in it)

__openerp__.py
(with the description of your module and import of your xml files)

your_python.py
(with your model definition)

you_views.xml
(with the view definitions of your module).

Put these files inside a folder and upload them to the "addons" folder of your server.

In your OpenERP client, go to Settings »» Update Module List. After that, go to Settings »» Installed modules; remove the "installed" filter from the search box and search for the name of your module. Your module should now show up in the "kanban view" click the Install button and it should be running!

After this first step, add complexity to it at your taste! :-)
