通过Odoo中的按钮在销售点界面中调用子窗口

Question

I need to ask if there is way to call a child window in the 'Point Of Sale' interface in Odoo-8. My scenario is that I have a button on the POS interface and I need to call sub/child window through that button . The window will have some buttons and some textboxes to take input from the user. I can show pop_up form with Error message on it. But I need to call a form with fields and button. Any help or guidance will be appreciated. Thanks n Regards

Answer 1

This can be done be making the button call a function which returns a ir.action.act_window.

Example from base_export_languages

return {
            'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
            'res_model': 'base.language.export',
            'view_mode': 'form',
            'view_type': 'form',
            'res_id': this.id,
            'views': [(False, 'form')],
            'target': 'new',
        }

This will open a window with a model. You probably need to make a new model where you keep new data and views. Also you can specify view with 'view_id': view_id, but keep in mind that view_id must be a id as integer.

Hopefully this will be helpful to you.

You have to create widget for that. So basically create one template file and js file to handle button click and other operations.

How to create widget and its basic: https://www.odoo.com/documentation/8.0/howtos/web.html

For example see pos_discount module.
