Hello Naresh,

I did not create the view but it could something like that (i think) :

<xml>
<openerp>
<data>
<Modify>

<record>
<field>form_partner_my_new_view</field>
<field>res.partner</field>
<field>form</field>
<field>
<field>
<field>
<page>
</field>
</record>
</data>
</openerp>

Oops, something went wrong; here's the code again :

<record model="ir.ui.view" id="form_partner_mwprog_10">
<field name="name">form_partner_mwprog_10</field>
<field name="model">res.partner</field>
<field name="type">form</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="res.partner.property.form.inherit"/>
<field name="priority" eval="28"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<page string="Accounting" attrs="{'invisible': [('groups', '<>', "Administrator / Configuration")]}" />
</field>
</record>

Hi,
Follow This example.

<record model="ir.ui.view" id="ID OF NEW VIEW">
<field name="name">NAME OF NEW VIEW</field>
<field name="type">form</field>
<field name="model">MODEL</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref=VIEW ID/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<notebook >
<page string="OLD TAB TO REPLACE" position="replace" >
<page string="NEW TAB " groups="YOUR GROUP to show the tab" >
<NEW FIELDS TO DISPLAY>
</page>
</page>
</notebook>
</field>
</record>

Thanks you, I'm going to try that.
Will post the result in a few minutes.

.. small little problem with the inherit_id :

the name of the form I'd like to inherit is : res.partner.property.form.inherit
it's id is : view_partner_property_form
this view is included into the module Account


In my code, if i insert the following line I've an error when upgrading
<field name="inherit_id" ref="view_partner_property_form"/>

If I insert the following line :
<field name="inherit_id" ref="account.view_partner_property_form"/>

than I can make the upgrade but when trying to display the partners, i receive an application error :

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/openerp-server/addons/base/ir/ir_model.py", line 274, in check_groups
cr.execute("select 1 from res_groups_users_rel where uid=%s and gid in(select res_id from ir_model_data where module=%s and name=%s)", (uid, grouparr[0], grouparr[1],))
IndexError: list index out of range

It seems there is problem in your groups can u paste what u have done.

Ok, without the groups attribute, this is working. As soon as I add the groups attribute (<page string="Accounting" groups="Employee" position="replace">) I have the following error :

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/openerp-server/addons/base/ir/ir_model.py", line 274, in check_groups
cr.execute("select 1 from res_groups_users_rel where uid=%s and gid in(select res_id from ir_model_data where module=%s and name=%s)", (uid, grouparr[0], grouparr[1],))
IndexError: list index out of range

the following line doesnt generate an error but my rule is never applied ..

<page string="Accounting" groups="base.Employee" position="replace">

ok, found the problem :
I need first to remove the tab which is not depending of a group. Then I create a new tab this time depending of a group.
<page groups='"Base.Employee" string="Accounting">

but if I'd like to create these page for all groups except the employee one, what is the syntax (I already tried <> , != but it's now working...)

Hi,

Well you can create a group (all_noemployee) with al group except employee one


Regards,

didnt think to that .. great idea
thanks

it's not working for the while, i have some problems of inheritence. For the while, it did not replace the 'old' account tab but create a new one, so i've 2 account tabs !
Still looking for a solution
regards to all

Further to this, I created a group called "Wheel" and the admin user is a member. I added nothing to any of the other tabs when creating this new group, because I'm after hiding a page and it wasn't listed in the possible objects.

I duplicated the "Accounting" page and changed only this:

<page string="Accounting">

to this:

<page string="Accounting" groups="Wheel"> which breaks

and this:

<page string="Accounting" groups="base.Wheel"> which runs.

But then no one can see that tab, not even the admin user! I looked in res_groups with psql and "Wheel" seems to be its only name.

How should I be specifying that group?

By grepping through everything, I find lines like:


Just what 'groups' are being talked about here? I see nothing like that in the table:

Hi Gemlog

I don't think the group matching is done on Name, it is on ID.

Try using groups="18" as a test.

If you have imported the group from an XML file and given it a textual ID then you can use that instead. Textual IDs are stored in the ir_values table I believe

Hope this helps

Thanks russellb! I will try that out next.
This thread was getting pretty lonely without your input

Thanks russellb, too

I'm going to try that, too and display my results
