Odoo/OpenERP : Call function on button

There are three ways to add functionality on button in OpenERP/Odoo:

1. Call function directly on button: You can directly call the function defined in model/class using type="object" attribute.

i.e

<button string="Check availability" name="check_username_availability" type="object" class="oe_highlight" />

In this case you have to define 'check_username_availablilty' function in model.

2. Using Workflow: Workflow is the most used functionality in OpenERP/Odoo to process flow of the activity. Default type of button is workflow i.e type="workflow".  Workflow itself is an vital topic so can't talk much about this here.

<button string="Accept" name="signal_accept" type="workflow" class="oe_highlight" />

3. Using action: You have to user type="action" if you want to call any action defined in the .xml file. For example if you want to open any wizard you can use following code snippet:

<button name="%(action_id)d" string="Button Label" type="action">

or you can replace %(action_id)d with action id from database.

Odoo/OpenERP: one2one relational field example

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...
