Hi Pawan, Why you not responding my questions on Skype :):):) Thanx, I'll try (Student Rob)

TypeError: _needaction_domain_get() takes exactly 1 argument (4 given)

add @api.model decorator to _needaction_domain_get function definition. as follows:

@api.model
def _needaction_domain_get(self):
    return [('state', '=', 'in')]

or change it to v7 style:

def _needaction_domain_get(self, cr, uid, context=None):
    return [('state', '=', 'in')]

then it should work... does it?

Better, no errors now ;) So what next, how to add the counter into the line ?

do you actually have some records with state=in right now?

Yes, a lot of them ;)

if you've done all right, then it should already displaying the counter in the menu... no more actions are required.

do you inherit additionally "ir.needaction_mixin"? what is your inherit statement?

_inherit = 'ir.needaction_mixin' @api.model def _needaction_domain_get(self): return[('state','=','in')]

you should include _name attribute as well, when you inherit from multiple models then it's necessary, you'll get something like:

_name = "a.base.model.name"
_inherit = ["a.base.model.name", "ir.needaction_mixin"]

"ir.needaction_mixin" should be additional inherit, not the main one... see comment above

"a.base.model.name" here is the model name you're extending. if you are NOT extending any model, then just add _name parameter:

_name = "my.new.model.name"
_inherit = "ir.needaction_mixin"
...

''class iprodstep_log(models.Model): _name = 'iprodstep.log' _inherit = ["iprodstep.log","ir.needaction_mixin"] ''

so if you're extending some model, use first option... but you'll need to add _name in both cases... and do not forget to restart odoo and update module from Settings/Modules... page. normally it should work already

is the 'iprodstep.log' existing model you're extending? if so, then it's correct... if it's a new model then use second option, _inherit = "ir.needaction_mixin". I do not know your scenario, so I posted all two options

Whatever i do, either first or second scenario still getting errors :(

class iprodstep_log(models.Model):
    _name = 'iprodstep.log'
    _description = 'iprodstep Log'
    _inherit = ["iprodstep.log","ir.needaction_mixin"]

...
    @api.model
    def _needaction_domain_get(self):
        return[('state','=','in')]

first things first... is the 'iprodstep.log' another model you're extending OR it's a new model you're creating?

what kind of errors

iprodstep.log is a model I'm creating. I'll tell you, just need restore everyting and solve the Server 500 error now :)

error you posted is because 'iprodstep.log' is not an existing model, but new one.. as you're not extending any model, then _inherit = "ir.needaction_mixin" is correct option for you

Oh i got it, so how can I now assign it to the specified menu ?

you do not need to.

it'll be added automatically. you just need to have separated page for your 'iprodstep.log' models, you need ordinary menu for that, nothing special

Not really, because at this moment I have a few menus which contain records in state 'in', 'out', 'cancelled' so i have to separate it somehow or create same kind of counters for each state. like in messaging, it separate numbers of messages for specified group. I hope you know what i mean.

Rob, for what you what to achieve, you have to add this:
'needaction_menu_ref': ['list_of_other_menu_ids_of_same_object']
to your respective Menu's action's context in xml file....
suppose on menu with id 'a' you will have :
'needaction_menu_ref': ['b', 'c']
suppose on menu with id 'b' you will have :
'needaction_menu_ref': ['a', 'c']
and so on...... Hope this helps you.......

it doesn't work ;(

    @api.model
    def _needaction_iprodstep_log_pack_menu_get(self):
        return[('in','out','pack')]

Rob, don't add this part and implement above mentioned functionality in action's context.....
and in _needaction_domain_get() just return [('active', '=', True)]

Aaaaaa hahahahahah i sorted it. It was quiet simple :)

    @api.model
    def _needaction_domain_get(self):
        return[('state','not in',['draft'])]

congrats :)
