I had the same issue. What I found is that "SELinux" was blocking nginx from using the socket. If SELinux is enabled you can check the status (which should look similar to below): [root@localhost ~]# sestatus SELinux status: enabled SELinuxfs mount: /selinux Current mode: enforcing Mode from config file: enforcing Policy version: 21 Policy from config file: targeted You can add an NGINX SELinux policy or just disable SELinux to get around the issue.  Check the status of SELinux using       # sestatus If it says enabled, vi into /etc/sysconfig/selinux . This is a symlink to /etc/selinux/config so modify this file in case you don't find the above file.       Terminal command: sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux      The file is highly self-explanatory. Just change the value of           SELINUX to "disable...

Hi, following code can be used to link menu to external url: <record id="external_link" model="ir.actions.act_url">         <field name="name">Odoobiz</field>         <field name="type">ir.actions.act_url</field>         <field name="target">new</field>         <field name="url">http://blog.odoobiz.com</field> </record> <menuitem action="external_link" name="Odoobiz" id="menu_odoobiz_link" parent="website_blog.menu_website_blog_root"/> This code will create Odoobiz menu under Blog menu and link it to http://blog.odoobiz.com .

Hi, Today we are going to write a scheduler to take PostgreSQL db dump every two hours in ubuntu OS. 1. Create a folder called backup in your home directory where we are going to store all the dump files. 2. Because it's cron script so can provide password at runtime, we are going to store required details in ~/. pgpass file in following format hostname:port:database:username:password localhost:5432:mydb:user1:test123 don't forget to change it's permission to 0600 ( chmod 0600 ~/.pgpass ) Note: You can change localhost with Server IP if you have 3. Create a file to write script for db backup. Let's create it in home directory itself and call it db_backup.sh Add following command to the file. pg_dump -d mydb -h localhost -p 5432 -U user1 -w  | gzip > /home/ubuntu/backup/$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H:%m:%s).psql.gz It will save the dump file with date and time as name. e.g  2017-09-16-07:09:1505546517.psql.gz Don't forget to make db_backup.sh ...

Hi, Today we are going to learn how to open standard form after saving data in wizard. Let's say I have created an wizard to fill basic User details and once saved open default User form. Here is the xml code for my wizrd: <record id="view_custom_user_wizard" model="ir.ui.view">         <field name="name">Create User</field>         <field name="model">res.users</field>         <field name="arch" type="xml">             <form string="Create User">                 <group>             <field name="company_id" />             <field name="name" required="1"/>             <field name="login" required="1"/>             <field name="password" required="1" pas...

To download any binary file in Odoo10 following is the link: http://127.0.0.1:8069/web/content?model=<module_name>&field=<field_name>&filename_field=<field_filename>&id=<object_id> module_name    - the name of the model with the Binary field field_name         - the name of the Binary field object_id            - id of the record containing particular file. field_filename    - name of a Char field containing file's name (optional). So if you want to call a function on button click and download the file, code is as follow: file_url = "http://127.0.0.1:8069/web/content?model=<module_name>&field=<field_name>&filename_field=<field_filename>&id=<object_id>" return {     'type': 'ir.actions.act_url',     'url': file_url,     'target': 'new' } In Reports or web page, you can u...

Hi, lot of solutions are there to fix this problem but I feel somewhere, sometimes we miss the basic part... It may be possibility that we don't have sendemail  utility itself not installed. Please install by running following command. sudo apt-get install sendmail -y If issue is still there please check following link: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/do-i-need-to-configure-anything-to-use-php-mail-function-on-fresh-lamp-install Thanks!!!! Enjoy Programming :)

Today we are going to discuss, how to use/change the context in dynamic/custom templates. Let's say we want to send some values to an email template other than normal object id, here is the code for that In controllers/main.py local_context = request.env.context.copy() In module.py file local_context = self.env.context.copy() local_context.update({     'name': 'Shiv',     'place': 'Bangalore' }) template = request.env.ref('module_name.email_template_id')             template.with_context(local_context).send_mail(object.id, force_send=True, raise_exception=True) In email template code you can access context as: <p>${ctx['name']}</p> <p>${ctx[' place ']}</p> That's it. To know how to create a custom email template, please check here:  http://www.odoo.yenthevg.com/creating-mail-templates/ Thanks!!! Enjoy Programming!!! :)

If you want to upload a binary image to Odoo using API..here are the steps: controllers/main.py # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from odoo.tools.translate import _ from odoo import http from odoo.http import request from odoo.addons import web from time import strftime import functools import datetime import json import base64 import sys import copy from dateutil import parser import logging from operator import itemgetter logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) def serialize_exception(f):     @functools.wraps(f)     def wrap(*args, **kwargs):         try:             return f(*args, **kwargs)         except Exception, e:             logger.debug("An exception occured during an http request")             #se = _serialize_exception(...

In Odoo you can write web-services for the outside world. Let's discuss how it can be done using controllers. Suppose I need a cross-domain API that will return data in JSON format. For that, we have to enable CORS and have to setup nginx reverse proxy . Example: API to send teachers data from Odoo: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from odoo.tools.translate import _ from odoo import http from odoo.http import request import json import sys class odoo_public_data(http.Controller):     @http.route('/get/teachers', type='http', methods=['GET'], auth="public")     def get_teachers(self, **kwargs):         teacher_model = request.env['dps.teacher']         teacher_ids = teacher_model.sudo().search([])         teacher_list = {'status': 1, 'data': []}         try:             if teacher_ids:                 for tea...

Let's discuss how to set nginx reverse proxy in odoo Why we need revese proxy? Odoo runs on 8069 port by default and if you want to route it through other port, say 80 we can use nginx reverse proxy for that. It will also help to handle web services, if any, your odoo instance is providing to outside world. What to do? 1. Install nginx 2. Create virtual host for your website/odoo instance. Let's say you want to run it on myodoo.com. Please create config file at location: /etc/nginx/sites-available/myodoo.domain.com CREATE symbolic link for this at /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/myodoo.domain.com Following is the code for ssl enabled config file upstream myodoo {     server 127.0.0.1:8069; } server {         listen 443 default;         server_name myodoo.domain.com;         access_log /var/log/nginx/oddo.access.log;         error_log /var/log/nginx/oddo.error.log...
