Odoo QWEB Reports: Tips & Trick


List of HTML elements those  are not supported directly in Qweb report. 


1) How to Use Space In Qweb Report?



   Solution - 1:
                  <![CDATA[&nbsp;]]>
 

Any HTML element can be use inside CDATA[] list which is not supported directly.

 


   Solution - 2:

                           &#160;


2) How to User > or < sign inside if condition?

    Sol.

    These conditional operators are not supported directly in Qweb or any XML file.

        A.  Instead of > symbol you have to use &gt;
        B.  Instead of < symbol you have to use &lt; 


3) How to Print & sign inside message or in any condition?


     Sol.    &amp;


4) How to use Else condition in QWeb report?

Else condition you  can use same IF Condition format, you have to add not  or ! sign before your condition starts.


 For Eg. We have partner_id fields inside our model/Object. we want to check is partner_id or not both way we will see here.

      A. <t t-if ="o.partner_id">  your code</t>

      B. <t t-if="not o.partner_id"> your code</t> 

This will work like else, likewise you can achieve else part by using this format.


 5) What is different between t-field and t-esc template inside QWeb report?



t-field: This is template defined inside odoo's standard module as XML record.
There are several templates already define inside base module for report. those are ready to use.

i) This template you can only use for the browse object/Records set which is coming from main loop.

For eg: At top we are iterating loop for-each="docs" t-as="o"

This template is useful to fetch information from the object directly.

ii) This only can be used inside HTML elements like <p> <span> <tr> etc..



t-esc: This is also the template as t-field. the behaviour of this template is  different than t-field.

i) This template used to call any function from the related parser class to fetch some runtime or dynamic information.
  A. Call Any function from parser.

      
  B. Define In line function or anonymous function.

    


ii) This template can  use inside t (Template) tag or any other HTML tag.

For eg:

    sudo apt-get install postgresql pgadmin3

Step 5: Once you done with your postgres installation you need to create role for postgres who is accessing the OS.

Follow these steps to create role for postgres . for eg. your system user name is odoo. than we need to create role inside postgresql for odoo user.
 Execute these command one by one in your terminal.

A) sudo su postgres
B) psql postgres
     #when you run this command you will be inside the postgres ternimal.
C) create role odoo with login password 'odoo';
   # This command will create role inside the postgres with password 'odoo';
D) alter role odoo with superuser;
   # This command will make current role as super user will have the admin access of postgres.

Step 6 : If you want to access your postgres from GUI than follow this step.
Here you will come to know to configure multiple postgres server with single Screen.

Step 5 : Download Compatible Eclipse Editor into your system.

There are number of eclipse flavors available to use. Here you will find one of them which is aptana studio which in built having python(pyDev) plug in.

          Click to Download
 Once You are ready with your eclipse than you can move to next step. If you already have eclipse in your system than make sure you have pyDev plug in configured in your system.
If pyDev is not Configure in your system than you can configure by following steps.
PyDev Configureation:

 A) Go to Help Menu and click on Install new Software Menu item, it will open new window there you can your pyDev Plug in path.

 Once you complete with Eclipse configuration create directory structure in your system.
 Step 6 : Follow this Directory Structure in your system it will be easy to handle all the source code and custom module in your system. you will be having workspace folder on your /home directory when you will open your eclipse.
A) Create Two folders

1) OpenERP or Odoo (You will paste all the source code version inside this directory)

2) Projects ( These folders will have all the custom project's module.)

B) Once You create these folder now you have to create generate category project from your eclipse with the same name.
Note :  make sure you are on the same workspace from eclipse where you created these folders.

C) Here you will follow the steps to create related project from eclipse.

i) Create New project from File Menu and Select General category project.



ii) Now Create the project with same name as you have created the folders inside the Workspace. for e.g. we have odoo folder in side work space so we will create project with same name.



Than click on finish. whatever the source code you will paste in your odoo folder it will automatically updated  in eclipse project.
Like wise you can handle multiple version source code from same project.

For the Projects you will follow the same steps, so it will updated all projects information from your workspace to your eclipse editor.
