In my module i have the following many2one field:
'xx_insurance_type': fields.many2one('xx.insurance.type', string='Insurance')
where xx.insurance.type
is the following:
class InsuranceType(osv.Model):
_name='xx.insurance.type'
_columns = {
'name' : fields.char(size=128, string = 'Name'),
'sale_ids': fields.one2many('sale.order', 'xx_insurance_type', string = 'Sale orders'),
'insurance_percentage' : fields.float('Insurance cost in %')
}
I know the many2one field takes the name field as its display name but I would like to have it use the combination of name
and insurance_percentage
in the form of name + " - " + insurance_percentage + "%"
I read it is best to overwrite the get_name
method so I tried the following:
def get_name(self,cr, uid, ids, context=None):
if context is None:
context = {}
if isinstance(ids, (int, long)):
ids = [ids]
res = []
for record in self.browse(cr, uid, ids, context=context):
name = record.name
percentage = record.insurance_percentage
res.append(record.id, name + " - " + percentage + "%")
return res
and placed this inside the ÌnsuranceType` class. Since nothing happened: Do i have to place it inside the main class containing the field? If so, is there an other way to do this since that will probably also change the display ways of the other many2one fields?
If you don't want to alter the display name of the rest of the many2one
related to the model xx.insurance.type
, you can add a context in the XML view to the many2one
whose display name you want to modify:
<field name="xx_insurance_type" context="{'special_display_name': True}"/>
And then, in your name_get
function:
def name_get(self, cr, uid, ids, context=None):
if context is None:
context = {}
if isinstance(ids, (int, long)):
ids = [ids]
res = []
if context.get('special_display_name', False):
for record in self.browse(cr, uid, ids, context=context):
name = record.name
percentage = record.insurance_percentage
res.append(record.id, name + " - " + percentage + "%")
else:
# Do a for and set here the standard display name, for example if the standard display name were name, you should do the next for
for record in self.browse(cr, uid, ids, context=context):
res.append(record.id, record.name)
return res
