How to override ReportController class in Odoo

Question

I want to override the /report_download/ method in the addons/report/controllers/main.py file. but I do not know how to inherit the /ReportController(Controller)/ class. I understand that inheriting a controller is not the same as the other classes. Can anyone please help me out?

Gael Rabier · Accepted Answer

I would suggest to do this:

*from *openerp *import *http
*from *openerp.http *import *request
*import *openerp.addons.report.controllers.main *as *main

class Extension(main.ReportController):

@route(['/report/download'], type='http', auth="user")
*def **report_download*(self, data, token):
do_what_you_need_to_do()
return super(Extension, self). report_download ( data, token )

Ok got it.

/from openerp.addons import report/

/class ReportControllerDerived(report.controllers.main.ReportController):/

/@route(['/report/download'], type='http', auth="user")/

/def report_download(self, data, token):/

////remaining code/

I had not referenced the base class correctly earlier
