Not long ago, I have begun to set up OpenERP 7. Have already managed to program an own extension containing user defined fields for standard customer module. These fields are shown in a new tab inside the notebook of the partner form I inherited.

My problems begin when inserting this code inside my view:

Either this:

<data>
 <field name="ref" position="replace"/>
 <field name="cust-category" position="before">
    <field name="ref"/>
</field>
</data>

or this:

<data>
  <xpath expr="//page[@name='Custom Fields']/form/field[@name='cust-category']" position="before">
    <field name="ref"/>
  </xpath>
  <xpath expr="//field[@name='Custom Fields']/tree/field[@name='cust-category']" position="before">
    <field name="ref"/>
  </xpath>

</data>

Sorry for not being able to enter my code sequences here that they are shown as I entered them, but I do not have any idea to to this. Anyway, you can see what I want to do: I want to show customer reference on my self-defined tab inside the notebook as very first field.

I do not get any syntax error when trying to install, but it is loading, loading and does not stop loading. If I abort it, I get a HTTP request error and have to restart the openerp server. No problem so far, but my module is only half-installed (settings menu for installing offers me "abort installation".

I thought, this occurs because of erronous code, but it does not seem so. Trying to install OpenOffice Report Designer the same happens. This is a public module and therefore should be clean. Can you tell me what I can do to be able to fully install any modules?
