# Is the server running in multi-process mode (e.g. behind Gunicorn).
# If this is True, the processes have to communicate some events,

# locks between threads.
multi_process = False

this sim.py

    _columns = {

        'contact_no':fields.char('Contact Number',size=256)
    }
student()

I cannot see my module in openerp. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

In order to see a custom module in OpenERP 7, it must first be in the addons directory.

Go to Settings > Modules > Update Modules List

Click Update

You must have Technical Features enabled for the user you are logged in as.

Then go to Settings > Modules > Installed Modules

Remove the [Installed] filter and search for your custom module.

Custom modules will not appear in Settings > Modules > Apps because that view will only display Modules/Apps that are found online.

Answer 2

我在这里看到的唯一问题是你的openerp.py文件名不正确，名称应该是__openerp__ ，再加上__init__.py文件，你应该导入sim.py文件，而不需要导入所有那些模块你在那里写的，只保留你需要的必要的库和模块。

Answer 3

this will work fine. Try this. Update all your files.

__openerp__.py   File

{
'name': 'Student Information Management',
'version': '0.1',
'category': 'Tools',
'description': """This module is for the Student Information Management.""",
'author': 'Mir Nauman Tahir',
    'website': 'http://mirnauman.wordpress.com/',
'depends': ['base'],
'data': ['sim_view.xml'],
'demo': [],
'installable': True,
    'auto_install': False,
    'application': True,

}


 __init__.py File

import sim




sim.py File


from openerp.osv import fields, osv
class student(osv.osv):
_name = "sim.student"
_description = "This table is for keeping personal data of student"
_columns = {
    'name': fields.char('Registration Number',size=256,required=True),
    'student_name': fields.char('Student Name',size=256,required=True),
    'father_name': fields.char('Father Name',size=256),
    'gender':fields.selection([('male','Male'),('female','Female')],'Gender'),
    'contact_no':fields.char('Contact Number',size=256)
}
student()

After updating all your files, Restart the server, update module list and find your module in Settings > Modules > Installed Modules - remove installed from there and write your module's name (ie sim) over there.

Hope this will definitely work.

Answer 4

Once again Make sure that you have put your module inside addons directory where all
the other modules exists. not inside server's addons, it should be inside main addons.

   Hope this will solve your problem

Answer 5

As @Zak said, __init__.py need only need to import the sim which is the python file you are using in the module. In __openerp__.py file, i cant find any error. The problem I found is in the sim.py file!!! You are importing only fields from openerp.osv . Your class is now inheriting the osv folder. Your class should inherit the osv file's osv class(class name: Model ). For openerp functionality, you have to import osv from openerp.osv . Please modify the sim.py with from openerp.osv import osv, fields .
