Question

I’m building a openerp customer module that in tree view, there is a button for each entry, when pressed, an act_window action will be triggered and open a new pops-up window, but at the same time, the main gtk client disappeared (only the pops-up remains). Also I have set the ‘target’ to ‘new’, but still the same. Any ideas?

client: gtk-6.0.3 on windows

server: 6.0.2 on debian 2.6.32

the xml looks like:

<field name="type">tree</field>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
    <tree string="Field Schema">
        <field name="field_name" />
        <field name="field_type" />
        <button name="edit" type="object" string="View and Edit" icon="gtk-go-forward" />
    </tree>
</field>

and the edit function to trigger looks like:

def edit(self, cr, uid, ids, context=None):
    obj_name = some_fn_dynamic_get_obj_name_from_ids(ids)
    obj = self.pool.get(obj_name)
    if not obj:
        raise osv.except_osv('not supported')
    res_id = obj.create(....)
    ...
    return {
        'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
        'name': 'View and Edit',
        'view_mode': 'form',
        'view_type': 'form',
        'res_model': obj_name,
        'res_id': res_id,
        'target': 'new',
        'context': context,
    }

Updated: after debug into the client’s source, i finally found that: i make a typo: nodestory where the correct one should be nodestroy

    return {
        'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
        ...
        'context': context,
        'nodestroy': True,
    }

Answer 1

I can’t see anything obviously wrong. The target attribute is discussed in the developer book. The only thing I can suggest would be to look for examples in the source code that use the target attribute and see how they differ from yours.
