I managed to do this using the model ir.configure_parameter.
In res_config.py:
class my_configuration(osv.osv_memory):
_inherit = ['res.confi.settings']
_columns = {
'default_deadline' : fields.integer('Days per default', help="""Help field"""),
}
...
def set_default_deadline(self, cr, uid, ids, context=None):
config = self.browse(cr, uid, ids)
config = config and config[0]
val = '%s' %(config.default_deadline) or '10'
self.pool.geet('ir.config_parameter').set_param(cr,uid, 'key_value', val)
return True
Whit this we have created a system parameter. It is actually created as a mapping from 'key_value' to val that is a string, so we will have to cast it to the desired type when necessary.
In my case, y created a function to get the deadline date in my module:
def _get_deadline_date(self, cr, uid, context=None):
val = self.pool.get('ir.config_parameter').get_param(cr, uid, 'key_value')
try:
val = int(val)
except:
# Just in case...
val = 30
return (datetime.now() + timedelta(days=val)).strftime('%Y,%m,%d')
_defaults = {
'deadline_date': lambda s, cr, uid, c: s._get_deadline_date(self, cr, uid, context=c),
}
Thank you, hope it helps!
