hello
in XML view, I want to hide some tag depending to a condition :
if %(chaine)s is not in variable then i want : visible=True

First solution :
I initialized a context with :
context["variable"]=['chaine1','chaine2','chaine3']

tag="""<field>"""

but the context dont containe variable

Seconde solution , initializing variable directly :

variable =['chaine1','chaine2','chaine3']

tag="""<field>"""

I get error , Keyerror, variable is not defined

Hi there,
I got the same problems, the facts are :
1 - ('nom' is a field definition, not a string) doesn't work! Tip to make it work consist to embed it in a <group> tag, eg: . note that the group tag is not labelled (no 'string' attribute), so visually not different from a naked <field/> tag.
But that trick simply not working on a tree view: the "group" tag inside a tree view make the field to be always hidden.

2- using is perfectly working but useless, since 'nom' here is considered as a string, not a field content. doing is more pythonic, but raises an error: 'nom' is not defined!. the attributes cannot access the field content like in point 1!. The "product" module is using that kind of construction in "product_view.xml": . it seems to work! but it uses the context dictionnary. good luck to understand that code, since there's no piece of documentation about the context dictionnary, and openerp make a heavily use of the context.
it's really frustrating, testing each combinaison is time consumming, and some documentation about the context dictionnary would be really welcome.

The attrs seems to only work in the web client, not GTK

so:


will work as expected only in web client.

I also noticed that if you compare the Product tree view between web client and GTK client, the List price only shows up in GTK, because GTK doesn't seem to understand invisible.

http://www.openobject.com/forum/topic6873.html

seems it never made it into the GTK client after all.

In GTK client, I try invisible with <group> tag, and it success,
But only in form view

code:
<group>
<field>
</group>

No i don't agree.
I try invisible with <group> tag, then it success, but only in form view, in GTK client.

<group>
<field>
</group>

But it doesn't work in tree view.
And I want to hide some column in tree view

I think it's a bug

Hi,
Look at this entry in launchpas bugs:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-c ... bug/531814
How can we solve this bug.

Invisible attribute work in Web client and not in GTK.

Invisible in <group> tag work in form view and not in tree

Another way to alter columns in tree view (hide a column depending of a condition) is to use fields_view_get and fields_get, orm methods poorly documented too, but very useful.
The problem is that methods signatures:
def fields_view_get(self, cr, uid, view_id=None, view_type=’form’, context=None, toolbar=False)
Note that there is not "ids" param, so you cannot alter a specific objet or instance depending of a parameter of the actual objet: it will blindly alter ALL the instances. all the code in the overrided fields_get cannot deal with specific instances.
Any idea to achieve that, folks?

Hello,

is ORing working with OpenERP web client?
example: {'invisible':['|',('referencenumber','=','01'),('state','=','care_closed')]} a valid syntax?


I am sure that AND is working but OR is not.. I am tested it on 5.0.7 and 5.0.9 .. any idea?

I am testing it on the form.. also, I have used group and make the field inside but also it didn't work...
