Question

How do I create a kanban view in OpenERP?

The developer book doesn’t seem to have any information on the new kanban view, and I didn’t see anything useful in the OpenERP forum.

Answer 1

Here is sample code showing how to develop a kanban view in OpenERP.

For the kanban view you have to prepare 2 files: (1)xml file and (2) css file. The CSS file is used for the formating of the kanban view.

<record model="ir.ui.view" id="resource_kanban_view">
    <field name="name">any name of ur  model</field>
    <field name="model">object.name</field>
    <field name="type">kanban</field>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <kanban>
            <templates>
                <t t-name="kanban-box">
                    <div class="oe_resource_vignette">
                        <div class="oe_resource_image">
                            <a type="edit"><img t-att-src="kanban_image('object.name', 'photo', record.id.value)" class="oe_resource_picture"/></a>
                        </div>
                        <div class="oe_resource_details">
                            <ul>
<!--Here you have to write the object's field name which you want to display in kanban view -->
                               <li><field name="name"/></li>
                               <li><field name="author"/></li>
                               <li><field name="description"/></li>
                               <li><field name="available_copy"/> </li>                                   
                             </ul>
                        </div>
                    </div>                       
                </t>
            </templates>
        </kanban>
    </field>
</record>
