Hello, 

I want to modify the existing sale module.

I have added a field in new_sale.py and replaced the fileds in new_sale.xml as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

new_sale.py:

from openerp.osv import fields, osv

class new_sale(osv.osv):

  _inherit = "res.partner"

  _columns = {
    'projects_id': fields.integer('Project ID', size=11)
  }

  _defaults ={
    'projects_id': 0
  }

new_sale();

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

new_sale.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openerp>
  <data>
    <record model="ir.ui.view" id="view_new_sale_form">
        <field name="name">res.partner.form</field>
        <field name="model">res.partner</field>
        <field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_partner_form" />
        <field name="arch" type="xml">
            <field name="fax" position="replace">
                <field name="projects_id" />
            </field>
        </field>
    </record>

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, I would like to hide the original "Title" field, which is a drop-down menu.

How can I do that?

BTW, I need to press the upgrade button and restart the server,  can I do the two in the command line at the same time? For example, adding some parameters after /etc/init.d/openerp-server force-reload xxxx yyyy zzzz

Thanks.
