Design Elements

文件中的视图描述形式如下：

Example:
  1. <?xml version="1.0"?>
  2. <openerp>
  3.    <data>
  4.        [view definitions]
  5.    </data>
  6. </openerp>

视图定义包含了以下三种类型的标签：

  • 标签有属性model=“ir.ui.view”，它包含本身的视图定义

  • 标签有属性model=“ir.actions.act_window”，它将动作和这些视图链接起来。

  • 标签，在菜单中创建记录，将他们和动作链接起来。

New：你可以指定组，菜单在menuitem标签中用组属性来访问这些组。

New：你可以使用shortcut标签来加快捷键。

Example:
  1. <shortcut
  2.     name="Draft Purchase Order (Proposals)"
  3.     model="purchase.order"
  4.     logins="demo"
  5.     menu="m"/>

你应该加一个id属性在menuitem上

  1. <record model="ir.ui.view" id="v">
  2.     <field name="name">sale.order.form</field>
  3.     <field name="model">sale.order</field>
  4.     <field name="priority" eval="2"/>
  5.     <field name="arch" type="xml">
  6.             <form string="Sale Order">
  7.                 .........
  8.             </form>
  9.     </field>
  10. </record>

priority字段的默认值为16，在没有特别规定的前提下，系统的视图都是最低优先级。

View Types

Tree View

你可以指定列表中包含的列元素和一些细节在列的显示中。search字段不能在这指定，他们显示在form视图中。

  1. <record id="view_location_tree2" model="ir.ui.view">
  2.     <field name="name">stock.location.tree</field>
  3.     <field name="model">stock.location</field>
  4.     <field name="type">tree</field>
  5.     <field name="priority" eval="2"/>
  6.     <field name="arch" type="xml">
  7.         <tree
  8.                 colors="blue:usage=='view';darkred:usage=='internal'">
  10.             <field name="complete_name"/>
  11.             <field name="usage"/>
  12.             <field
  13.                 name="stock_real"
  14.                 invisible="'product_id' not in context"/>
  15.             <field
  16.                 name="stock_virtual"
  17.                 invisible="'product_id' not in context"/>
  18.         </tree>
  19.     </field>
  20. </record>

这个例子是一个二维列表，但是你可以通过指点field_parent来显示树结构。这个名字尽管有些误导人，但是该字段必须包含一列所有的child记录。

  1. <record id="view_location_tree" model="ir.ui.view">
  2.     <field name="name">stock.location.tree</field>
  3.     <field name="model">stock.location</field>
  4.     <field name="type">tree</field>
  5.     <field name="field_parent">child_ids</field>
  6.     <field name="arch" type="xml">
  7.         <tree toolbar="1">
  8.             <field icon="icon" name="name"/>
  9.         </tree>
  10.     </field>
  11. </record>

在tree元素中包含下面的属性：

colors

Conditions for applying different colors to items in the list. The default is black.

toolbar

如果你想要一个树结构在单独工具栏区域列出上层的记录，那就把给属性值设为1。当你点击工具栏上的一个记录时，它的所有的后代都会显示在main tree中。二维列表中该值可以忽略

Grouping Elements

Separator

加个分隔线

Example:
  1. <separator string="Links" colspan="4"/>

string属性定义了它的标签，colspan属性定义了他的水平大小（列的个数）。

Notebook

: 用notebooks你可以分配视图字段在不同的标签上（每个由page tag定义）。你可以使用tabpos属性来设置tab：up，down，left，right。

Example:
  1. <notebook colspan="4">....</notebook>

Group

: 对几个列进行分组。

  • colspan: the number of columns to use

  • rowspan: the number of rows to use

  • expand: if we should expand the group or not

  • col: the number of columns to provide (to its children)

  • string: (optional) If set, a frame will be drawn around the group of fields, with a label containing the string. Otherwise, the frame will be invisible.

Example:
  1. <group col="3" colspan="2">
  2.     <field name="invoiced" select="2"/>
  3.     <button colspan="1" name="make_invoice" states="confirmed" string="Make Invoice"
  4.         type="object"/>
  5. </group>

Page

为视图定义新的notebook

Example:
  1. <page string="Order Line"> ... </page>:
  • string: 定义page的名称

Data Elements

Field

attributes for the “field” tag

  • select=”1”: mark this field as being one of the search criteria for

    this resource’s search view. A value of 1 means that the field is included in the basic search, and a value of 2 means that it is in the advanced search.

  • colspan=”4”: the number of columns on which a field must extend.

  • readonly=”1”: set the widget as read only

  • required=”1”: the field is marked as required. If a field is marked as required, a user has to fill it the system won’t save the resource if the field is not filled. This attribute supersede the required field value defined in the object.

  • nolabel=”1”: hides the label of the field (but the field is not hidden in the search view).

  • invisible=”True”: hides both the label and the field.

  • password=”True”: replace field values by asterisks, “*“.

  • string=””: change the field label. Note that this label is also used in the search view: see select attribute above).

  • domain: can restrict the domain.

    • Example: domain=”[(‘partner_id’,’=’,partner_id)]“

  • widget: can change the widget.

    • Example: widget=”one2many_list”

      • one2one_list

      • one2many_list

      • many2one_list

      • many2many

      • url

      • email

      • image

      • float_time

      • reference

  • mode: sequences of the views when switching.

    • Example: mode=”tree,graph”

  • on_change: define a function that is called when the content of the field changes.

    • Example: on_change=”onchange_partner(type,partner_id)”

    • See Events for details.

  • attrs: Permits to define attributes of a field depends on other fields of the same window. (It can be use on page, group, button and notebook tag also)

    • Format: “{‘attribute’:[(‘field_name’,’operator’,’value’),(‘field_name’,’operator’,’value’)],’attribute2’:[(‘field_name’,’operator’,’value’),]}”

    • where attribute will be readonly, invisible, required

    • Default value: {}.

    • Example: (in product.product)

    1. <field digits="(14, 3)" name="volume" attrs="{'readonly':[('type','=','service')]}"/>

  • eval: evaluate the attribute content as if it was Python code (see below for example)

  • default_focus: set to 1 to put the focus (cursor position) on this field when the form is first opened. There can only be one field within a view having this attribute set to 1 (new as of 5.2)

    1. <field name="name" default_focus=”1”/>

  77.             sequence="2"/>
  78.     </data>
  79.  </openerp>

The eval attribute

The eval attribute evaluate its content as if it was Python code. This allows you to define values that are not strings.

一般情况下，内容中标签一直作为字符串来计算。

Example 1:

  1. <field name="value">2.3</field>

2.3不是float 2.3而是字符串2.3

Example 2:

  1. <field name="value">False</field>

This will evaluate to the string ‘False’ and not the boolean False

如果你想要计算float，boolean或是其他类型，除了string，可以使用eval属性：

  1. <field name="value" eval="2.3" />
  2. <field name="value" eval="False" />

Button

: add a button using the string attribute as label. When clicked, it can trigger methods on the object, workflow transitions or actions (reports, wizards, …).

  • string: define the button’s label

  • confirm: a message for an optional confirmation pop-up, if needed. Eg: confirm=”Are you sure?”

  • name: the name of the function to call when the button is pressed. In the case it’s an object function, the corresponding function must take 4 arguments: cr, uid, ids, context:

    • cr is a database cursor

    • uid is the ID of the user who clicked the button

    • ids is the list of record ID on which the function is called (usually just the one on which the form is open)

    • context is a dictionary of context values passed from the view

  • states: a comma-separated list of states (from the state field or from the workflow) in which the button must appear. If the states attribute is not given, the button is always visible.

  • type: this attribute can have 3 values

    • “workflow” (default): the button will send a workflow signal

    • “object”: the button will call a method of the object

    • “action”: the button will call an action

  • default_focus: set to 1 to make this button the default button, highlighted and activated directly if you press enter on the form. There can only be one button within a view having this attribute set to 1 (new as of 5.2)
Example:
  1. <button name="order_confirm" states="draft" string="Confirm Order" icon="gtk-execute"/>
  2. <button name="_action_open_window" string="Open Margins" type="object" default_focus=”1”/>

Label

用label来加个标题。

Example:
  1. <label string="Test"/>

New Line

如果视图的所有列不能全部放进一行是强制换行。

Example:
  1. <newline/>
