Hello.  I was wondering how can you run a function when you click on an option from the "More" menu dropdown in a Tree view.

For example:  When you are looking at all the records in a Tree view, then you click the check box for each record, then the "More" button appears at the top and if you select "Delete" then it calls the unlink method for that model and deletes the selected records.

I figured out how to add another item in the "More" dropdown, but I don't know how to run a function when the item is clicked.  All it does right now is open another form view, but I would like it to process some information before displaying it in another form. Here is an example of what I have

 

<record id="hr_employee_normal_action_tree2" model="ir.actions.act_window">
            <field name="name">Erics More Item</field>
            <field name="type">ir.actions.act_window</field>
            <field name="res_model">hr.employee</field>
            <field name="view_type">form</field>
            <field name="view_mode">tree,form</field>
        </record>

        <record model="ir.values" id="test_more_item">
            <field name="name">Test Item</field>
            <field name="model" eval="'sale.order'" />
            <field name="key" >action</field>
            <field name="key2">client_action_multi</field>
            <field name="value" eval="'ir.actions.act_window,%d'%hr_employee_normal_action_tree2" />
            <field name="object" eval="True" />
        </record>

 

So does anyone know how to run a function when the item from the "More" dropdown is selected?  I guess what I kind of need is the functionality which is similar to a button that is an object type.  So when a button is clicked then it runs a function on that model.

Hi Eric you can achieve this by addind few lines of code in your server action

<record id="sale_license_more_item_action" model="ir.actions.server">

             <field name="name">Erics More Item</field>

            <field name="model_id" ref="model_sale_licenses"/>
            <field name="state">code</field>
            <field name="code">action = self.renew_license(cr, uid, context.get('active_ids', []), context=context)</field>
        </record>
        
        <record id="test_more_item" model="ir.values">
            <field eval="'client_action_multi'" name="key2"/>
            <field eval="'sale.licenses'" name="model"/>
            <field name="name">Test Item</field>
            <field eval="'ir.actions.server,%d'%sale_license_more_item_action" name="value"/>
        </record>

My new code:

<record id="sale_license_more_item_action" model="ir.actions.act_window">
            <field name="name">Erics More Item</field>
            <field name="type">ir.actions.act_window</field>
            <field name="res_model">sale.licenses</field>
            <field name="view_type">form</field>
            <field name="view_mode">form</field>
            <field name="code">self.renew_license(cr, uid, context.get('active_ids', []), context=context)</field>
        </record>

        <record model="ir.values" id="test_more_item">
            <field name="name">Test Item</field>
            <field name="model" eval="'sale.licenses'" />
            <field name="key" >action</field>
            <field name="key2">client_action_multi</field>
            <field name="value" eval="'ir.actions.act_window,%d'%sale_license_more_item_action" />
            <field name="object" eval="True" />
        </record>

 

I dont get any errors, but it still just goes to the form without running the code that was added.  Thank you again

Thank you Maniganda for your help. Your solution works for me. Can you help me with one more thing? The function that is called is supposed to create a new sales order, which it does, but I would also like it to open the new sales order form when its finished. The end of my function returns a dictionary like this return { 'name': 'Sales Order', 'view_type': 'form', 'view_mode': 'form', 'view_id': self.pool.get('ir.ui.view').search(cr, uid, [('name','=','sale.order.form')])[0], 'res_model': 'sale.order', 'res_id': new_order_id, 'type': 'ir.actions.act_window', } This seems to work on other function calls, but for some reason it isn't working for this one.

Hello Maniganda.  I appreciate your help.  I'm still having trouble with opening the new sale order in the form view once my function is done executing.  Do you have any other ideas?
