Is it possible to show multiple form views or tree views of the same object in Openerp?
odoo, python-2.7
Solution
yes it is . just make a separate action and menu for the object . for example
<record model="ir.actions.act_window" id="client_form_action">
<field name="name">client.form.action</field>
<field name="res_model">client</field>
<field name="view_type">form</field>
<field name="view_mode">form</field>
</record>
<!--This action open the view we specify.-->
<record model="ir.actions.act_window" id="client_form_action1">
<field name="name">client.form.action1</field>
<field name="res_model">client</field>
<field name="view_type">form</field>
<field name="view_mode">form</field>
<field name="view_id" ref="client_form_view_1"/>
</record>
<menuitem id="menu_id" name="Client main menu"/>
<menuitem
id="menu_id_1"
name="Here we don't specify the view"
action="client_form_action" parent="menu_id"/>
<menuitem
id="menu_id_1"
name="Here we specify the view"
action="client_form_action1" parent="menu_id"/>
with the view Id="some_thing" you can do it , the first view is by default the second one is specified , you can also show only the view you want by giving them priority. hope this will help Click here!
