Add new options for many2one field

Description

This module changes "many2one" and "many2manytags" form widgets, so as to add some new display control options.

** New: support many2manytags widget ! **

** New: support global option management with ir.config_parameter ! **

The options provided include the possibility to remove "Create..." and/or "Create and Edit..." entries from many2one and many2many drop down lists. You can also change the default number of entries appearing in the drop-down, or prevent the dialog box popping in case of validation error occurring.

If not specified, the module will avoid proposing any of the create options if the current user have no permission rights to create the related object.

Requirements

Was tested on openerp v7.0

New option

create boolean (Default: depends if user have create rights)

Whether to display the "Create..." entry in dropdown panel.

create_edit boolean (Default: depends if user have create rights)

Whether to display "Create and Edit..." entry in dropdown panel

field_color string

A string to define the field used to define color. This option has to be used with colors.

colors dictionary

A dictionary to link field value with a HTML color. This option has to be used with field_color.

ir.config_parameter options

Now you can disable "Create..." and "Create and Edit..." entry for all widgets in the odoo instance. If you disable one option, you can enable it for particular field by setting "create: True" option directly on the field definition.

web_m2x_options.create boolean (Default: depends if user have create rights)

Whether to display the "Create..." entry in dropdown panel for all fields in the odoo instance.

web_m2x_options.create_edit boolean (Default: depends if user have create rights)

Whether to display "Create and Edit..." entry in dropdown panel for all fields in the odoo instance.

web_m2x_options.m2o_dialog boolean (Default: depends if user have create rights)

Whether to display the many2one dialog in case of validation error for all fields in the odoo instance.

web_m2x_options.limit int (Default: openerp default value is 7)

Number of displayed records in drop-down panel for all fields in the odoo instance

web_m2x_options.search_more boolean (Default: default value is False)

Whether the field should always show "Search more..." entry or not.

To add these parameters go to Configuration -> Technical -> Parameters -> System Parameters and add new parameters like:

• web_m2x_options.create: False
• web_m2x_options.create_edit: False
• web_m2x_options.m2o_dialog: False
• web_m2x_options.limit: 10
• web_m2x_options.search_more: True

ir.actions.act_window context options

The following options can be specified in the context field of an ir.actions.act_window to provide the same functionality at the form level:

create boolean (Default: depends if user have create rights)

Whether to display the "Create..." entry in dropdown panels.

create_edit boolean (Default: depends if user have create rights)

Whether to display the "Create and Edit..." entry in dropdown panels.

m2o_dialog boolean (Default: depends if user have create rights)

Whether to display the many2one dialog in case of validation error.

limit int (Default: openerp default value is 7)

Number of displayed records in drop-down panels.

search_more boolean

Whether to always display the "Search More..." entry in dropdown panels.

Example

Your XML form view definition could contain:

...
<field name="partner_id" options="{'limit': 10, 'create': false, 'create_edit': false, 'search_more': true, 'field_color': 'state', 'colors': {'active':'green'}}"/>
...

Note

Double check that you have no inherited view that remote options you set on a field ! If nothing work, add a debugger in the first line of get_search_result method and enable debug mode in Odoo. When you write something in a many2one field, javascript debugger should pause. If not verify your installation.
