    This will be removed when you upgrade however. I suggest you app\code\local\Mage\Contacts\controllers\IndexController.php and edit that file

Odoo/OpenERP: one2one relational field example

one2one relational field is deprecated in OpenERP version>5 but you can achieve the same using many2one relational field. You can achieve it in following two ways : 1) using many2one field in both the objects ( http://tutorialopenerp.wordpress.com/2014/04/23/one2one/ ) 2)  using inheritance by deligation You can easily find the first solution with little search over internet so let's start with 2nd solution.

How to draw Dynamic Line or Timeseries Chart in Java using jfreechart library?

Today we are going to write a code to draw a dynamic timeseries-cum-line chart in java.   The only difference between simple and dynamic chart is that a dynamic event is used to create a new series and update the graph. In out example we are using timer which automatically calls a funtion after every 1/4 th second and graph is updated with random data. Let's try with the code : Note : I had tried my best to provide complete documentation along with code. If at any time anyone have any doubt or question please post in comments section.

pyodbc.OperationalError: ('08001', '[08001] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]

Recently, I faced this error in our Docker-Container environment. All the necessary packages were already installed but still, I was facing this clueless error. I search a bit and after an hour and so I found the exact reason and solution for this error. To know more about this error in detail. Please follow this Github thread. https://github.com/mkleehammer/pyodbc/issues/610 https://github.com/mkleehammer/pyodbc/issues/610#issuecomment-587523802 Solution: It's because the   server's certificate has too weak a key. In case you are using Linux env directly/not the Docker one.  Just edited /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf and change these 2 lines. MinProtocol = TLSv1.0 CipherString = DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=1 In case you are also using a container, please add these three lines to your Docker file. RUN chmod +rwx /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf RUN sed -i ' s/TLSv1.2/TLSv1/g ' /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf RUN sed -i ' s/SECLEVEL=2/SECLEVEL=1/g ' /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf Thanks!! Enjoy Programming! Refer...
