Hi

Try like this ...

<button type="action" string="submit" name= "%(module_name.form_action_id)d" class="oe_highlight"/>

which form u want open,put ur id mentioned in  above line( form_action-id),,, <record model="ir.ui.view" id="......."

Hi,

<button name="%(create_field)d" string="Create Field" type="action" />

Button with type "action" is like above will call the action with ID="create_field". So, you have to make one action with ID = "create_field".

But you have created action with ID = "%(create_field)d" is not good. please change it with ID = "create_field"

I hope this will help you. If you have still any issue then let me know.

Or 

You can put the button type="object" and make one function into python with same name as button name.

in your case :

<button name="create_field" string="Create Field" type="object" />

In your python code put the function as like below.

def create_field(self, cr, uid, ids, context=None):

        return {
            'name': _('My Form'),
            'view_type': 'form',
            'view_mode': 'form',
            'res_model': 'my.form',
            'view_id': False,
            'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
        }

It will open one window to create record of the model 'my.form'. If you want to open window to create 'my.form2' then just replate 'res_model' value with 'my.form2'.

thats it.

Hi,

Refer this site, it might be help u.

Creating Smart Buttons in Odoo

1. Add required fields to the model so you can store your calculations

voucher_count = fields.Integer(compute='_voucher_count', string='# of Vouchers')

account_voucher_ids = fields.One2many('account.voucher', 'partner_id', 'Voucher History')

2. Create a custom view template and use the interhit id that matches the external id of the form 

<record id="view_partners_form_crm2" model="ir.ui.view">

<field name="name">view.res.partner.form.crm.inherited2</field> <field name="model">res.partner</field> <field name="priority" eval="200"/> <field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_partner_form"/>

3. Use xpath in the template to tell the Odoo framework where to place your button

<xpath expr="//div[@name='buttons']" position="inside">

4. Add your Odoo smart button code to the view

<button class="oe_inline oe_stat_button" type="action" name="%(pay_view_voucher_tree)d" attrs="{'invisible': [('customer', '=', False)]}" icon="fa-usd"> <field string="Payments" name="voucher_count" widget="statinfo"/> </button>

5. Create a python function to calcuate the functional field (voucher_count)

@api.one @api.depends('account_voucher_ids','account_voucher_ids.state')

def _voucher_count(self):

        vouchers = self.env['account.voucher'].search([('partner_id', '=', self.id)])

        self.voucher_count = len(vouchers)

6. . Create a view for the action to display your results (payments in this case) when the user clicks the button

<record model="ir.actions.act_window" id="pay_view_voucher_tree">

<field name="name">Payments</field>

<field name="res_model">account.voucher</field>

<field name="view_type">form</field>

<field name="view_mode">tree,form,graph</field>

<field name="context">{'search_default_partner_id': active_id}</field>

<field name="arch" type="xml">

          <tree string="Payments">

               <field name="date"/> <field name="number"/> <field name="reference"/> <field name="partner_id"/>

                <field name="type" invisible="context.get('visible', True)"/> <field name="amount" sum="Total Amount"/> <field name="state"/>

         </tree>

  </field>

</record>

If you found this as correct, please mark this as correct. Thanks.

In odoo 9 , 

We apply for this way

<button string="Library details" type="object"

class="oe_highlight oe_right" name="library_method" icon="fa-fire" >

</button>

@api.multi

def library_method(self):

print self._context

course_form = self.env.ref('college.return_form', False)

return {

'name': 'New Course',

'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',

'res_model': 'college.return',

'view_type': 'form',

'view_mode': 'tree,form',

'target': 'self',

'views': [(course_form.id, 'form')],

'view_id': 'course_form.id',

'flags': {'action_buttons': True},

}

I agree with Arunagiri, that is the way to resolve your problem and, in the action dict definition, you push also the 'target' property to show modal dialog

Question is not clear. Give an example. I think you can make it through a wizard.
