            }

immo_personne() 

i want just to know how to open the new form with the textbox and buttons, anyone have any idea how to do it ??

Answer 1

To open a new form on button click you can change button type to action and give your action_id on the button name. Here is the example

        <record id="model_action_id" model="ir.actions.act_window">
            <field name="name">Personne</field>
            <field name="type">ir.actions.act_window</field>
            <field name="res_model">immo.personne</field>
            <field name="view_type">form</field>
            <field name="view_mode">tree,form</field>
        </record>

        <button string="%(model_action_id)d" type="action" name="copy"/>

if you do not want to change the type of button then your button method should return action. eg.

def copy(self, cr, uid, ids, context):
    '''
    your code
    '''
    return {
       'name': _("personne"),
       'view_mode': 'form,tree',
       'view_type': 'form',
       'res_model': 'immo.personne',
       'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
       'nodestroy': True,
       'target': 'new',
       'context': context,
   }

This will help you to understand the button action.

Forms in OpenERP are opened by actions of type act_window. In your case you have to create a method copy(...) inside your object immo.personne which returns this such an action (in the form of dictionary).

Let say that your new form with the text box and two buttons is called view_copy_multiple. Try this code:

def copy(self, cr, uid, ids, context=None):
       if not ids: return False
       if context is None: context = {}
       model_data_pool = self.pool.get('ir.model.data')
       view = model_data_pool.get_object(cr, uid,
                                         'immo_personne',
                                         'view_copy_multiple',
                                         context=context)
       return {
           'name': _("Copy multiple records"),
           'view_mode': 'form',
           'view_id': [view.id],
           'view_type': 'form',
           'res_model': 'immo.personne',
           'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
           'nodestroy': True,
           'target': 'new',
           'context': context,
           'res_id': ids,
       }
