Question

I am digging through OpenERP web to find how I can remove the exception of date from it. eg I want to insert a date like 12/12/1523. with Current functionality it will show me an error message if i will enter a date less then 1900. I have checked it with _calendar.py, format.py, validates.py. but i didn’t succeed. If anyone here can Help me through It will be highly appreciable.

Answer 1

I found two problems in openerp-web:

1 – The date control calendar is restricted and cannot go below

01/01/1900

2 – There are validation errors raised from openerp/i18n/format.py when
trying to save

Point 1, the javascript widget can be easily fixed in

openerp/static/calandar/calendar.js

=> find:

    param_default("range",[1900,2999])

=> and replace with:

    param_default("range",[1,2999])

Point 2, replace in

openerp/i18n/format.py

=> find the two occurances of:

    return time.strftime(server_format, value)

=> and replace with:

    return mx.DateTime.Date(value[0],value[1],value[2],value[3],value[4],value[5]).strftime(server_format)
