In this blog i am trying to make an analysis of the new features in OpenERP 6.1 along with a comparison of it with version 6.0. OpenERP 6.1 is more fast, modular, powerful and user friendly. And also comes with advanced business features.
'Rental Solution in OpenERP', provided by Zesty Beanz is an integration of popular OpenERP modules 'crm' and 'rent'. The solution converts leads and opportunities into rent order and manges the return of the rented products without affecting stock equations and accounting parameters. Let's have a look into the flow of events
1. Create Lead
Menu : Sale > Leads

email_template is a default module of OpenERP which is used to send emails from OpenERP. It is much easier than smtp_client and the template of the mail can be easily customized. We can configure outgoing email server and template of email_template from Setting > Configuration > Email. The outgoing mail server of email_template can be configured from "Outgoing Mail Servers" in Setting > Configuration > Email. The following is a screenshot of configuring outgoing mail server in email_template.
Hi Prajul,
First of all, very good post.
I experiencing some issues with sending a mail using the sidebar button created from the template and with the files attached.
I created a template for sales.order. What I want to do is have a button on the side bar to send a mail to the partner with the sales quotation before I confirm the order. To send the quotation I want either attach the pdf or create a table within the body of the message with the html table with the order lines. I couldn't achieve any case.
To set up the template I create the structure of the body in both, plain and html text. At the tab 'Advanced' in the field 'Optional report to print and attach' I select 'Quotation / Order', and I added the sidebar button.
When I send a mail by clicking on the sidebar button from the Sale order form, the pop-up shows up and I send the mail. But if I go to Settings->Configuration->Email->Messages the mail I am gonna send is there. But taking a look inside the body is plain (according to 'Message type' in tab 'Advanced' and what I see) and there is not any document attached. All this is verified when I send and I get the mail.
I have several questions:
To attach the quotation pdf, it has to be already created and attached to the order?
Where can I define the type of the mail to html?
Thank you in advance
Hello,
First of all thanks for your post!!!
I have an issue with a template for meeting as I would like to send the mail to all attendees and not just to the partner contact.
the object I take is ${object.attendee_ids}
and the result is [browse_record(calendar.attendee, 148), browse_record(calendar.attendee, 149)]
I need to get the emails of the attendee but don't know how to do this as it's a many2many field.
Could you help me with this?
I'm using openerp 6.1
Many Thanks
MN
Hi Marie,
Please try
<% y = [z.email for z in object.attendee_ids] %>${','.join(y)}
where email is the field for email in the related model of attendee_ids.
Dear Prajul,
I tried and it worked perfectly.
I can't thank you enough for your quick answer and your will to help python beginners like me.
I'm a developper myself but in a complete different area. It helps to figure out but not always to find the correct formula.
So, there, thanks again as I greatly appreciated your quick help and should be able to deliver in time.
Kind Regards
Marie
Prajul,
I could need your help once again,
I was thinking to use the formula given before in order to list also the details for each attendee in the email body.
ATTENDEES :
<?php y = [z.partner_address_id.name for z in object.attendee_ids] ?>
% if y <> 'None':
${(y)}
% endif
The result is bellow. It is normal that both entries are None as they are internal users therefore there is no partner and I don't want to list them.
Also, I don't understand why there is a u before the name.
ATTENDEES :
[None, None, u'Rudi Karel']
I'm digging arround in google but don't really know the correct terms to research (am French). It's a bit difficult to give more personnal info on a blog...
Your blog is really good
Kind regards
Marie
Hi Prajul,
Wanted to let you know that I finaly figured out how to this.
The last issue I'm facing is to convert time UTC to locat time.
Thanks
Marie
Here I want to explain how to create a simple installable module for vtiger CRM.
I have done the job but when clicking on testModule it is giving following error
Warning: require(modules/Events/language/en_us.lang.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Program Files\vtigercrm-5.4.0\apache\htdocs\vtigerCRM\include\utils\utils.php on line 498.
I am using windows 7 and accesing the testModule folder outside of Vtiger installation folder.
Please help. Awaiting an early reply.
Regards
Sanjib
Hi Shobin, I just saw your tutorial. Though it's a few years old I want to thank for this! It's much more understandable than vtigers payslip tutorial.
If you could answer me one question I am fighting with would be so great.
How can I integrate the new module inside the Projects Module? It should look like all the other Modules in Projects->More Information. So that right above Project Tasks there is the modules title "testModule" and opens just like all the other ones...
Couldn't find a solution for this until now... and I must say I am very new to vtiger.
Appreciate your help.
Regards from Germany :-)
i followed above instruction and created all files and folders but when i installed module its generate a
"dUnzip2: File 'manifest.xml' is not compressed in the zip." error and i also added below code in language file
<?php
$mod_strings = Array('HELLO_WORLD' => 'Hello World');
?>Can u please help me
Invalid file provided for module import! Try Again. I have created as per above information but still it says invalid file..
please help me.
Hi,
thanks for your contribution on creating a new module, am in the process of creating one and am stuck in the middle of the process after doing all you had stated in importing the module in the module manager but i get an error "invalid file provided for module import! try again"...i will grateful appreciate your help.thank you.
For anybody in the future that may happen to get slightly lost in this, I finally managed to figure it out a bit.
First, Shobin, thanks again for having a very simple tutorial on this... The others jump into something quite complex when all many of us want is a good starting point to work our way up with=)
en_us.lang.php must look like this: $mod_strings = Array('HELLO_WORLD' => 'Hello World');
If you are having trouble getting this module installed, do *not* create the source code or directory in the vTiger modules directory. Create them somewhere else entirely. vTiger will try to create the module itself when you import it! This was the source of many of my problems and I'm guessing the same thing causing everybody else problems.
Make sure you use the module folder structure exactly:
1) Create a directory called testModule
2) Inside that directory, create manifest.xml and directory called modules
3) Inside the modules directory, create another directory called testModule
4) Inside the new testModule directory (Should now look like testModule->modules->testModule), create index.php and a new directory called language.
5) Inside the language directory, create a file called en_us.lang.php
That should be it. The big thing is to make sure this wasn't created inside vTiger! Hope this helps people in the future!
please help!!!!
how can i create a new module using vtlib. the procedure they have given in the vtlib pdf doesnt exactly tell us which file we should edit or use. am using vtigercrm 5.3.0
kind regards
I liked it, and I thought there were a lot of subtleties and nuances that you don’t get right away. But that’s just my opinion, you’re completely entitled to yours.
I really liked your article. Keep up the good work.
Hi Ryan,
How's it going?
Thanks for this wonderful post.
I followed your instruction but when the time comes for me to import I got this errors:
dUnzip2: File 'manifest.xml' is not compressed in the zip.
Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "test/vtlib/manifest-1311051151.xml" in C:\Program Files (x86)\vtigercrm-5.2.1\apache\htdocs\vtigerCRM\vtlib\Vtiger\PackageImport.php on line 54
Warning: unlink(test/vtlib/manifest-1311051151.xml) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in C:\Program Files (x86)\vtigercrm-5.2.1\apache\htdocs\vtigerCRM\vtlib\Vtiger\PackageImport.php on line 55
This is how I made my folder structure:
newModule - > modules -> newModules -> index.php
newModule - > modules -> newModules -> language -> en_us.lang.php
newModule -> manifesst.xml
Your quick response will be appreciated.

Even though Drupal is not 100% perfect , by taking the advantage of its flexibility we can reach almost to it. I belive that by default drupal sites are good and search engine optimised. How ever the users who develop their site without taking the advantage of the drupal sites will experice a poor performanance. Optimizing your site for the search engines is a huge topic.Let me narrate briefly about this.

Introduction
As of any Programming language python has got the feature of Object Oriented Programming. And as of any other features of python its the simplest of all other programming languages' syntax. It provides object oriented features like inheritance, abstraction, encapsulation etc.
Introduction
The logical operators in python ('and' and 'or') can be used extensively to sequentially evaluate a statement irrespective of the datatype of each element in the statement. They are called short circuit operators in python. Here we have brief description of how can we use them while programming with python. It is found to be very useful when we try to manipulate data in reports where in we can significantly change the data printed without editing the python code serving the report.
what about the truth value of function pointers in python?
as a function pointer always points to a function stored in memory it is True always
And where is the source code? Where can we see more about this? yacht charters
Hi,
I am a keen follower of your blog posts and i love them. I have been experimenting with affiliate all as an opensource affilliate system and so far so good.
Is your openerp system available as a module. I would really love to have a go at it. Thanks and keep up the good work.
We haven't develeoped it as a separate module at present .it is a functionality along with many other features in non-generfic module. we may be publishing it as a generic module soon in the future
When is the expected release of the module?

I am working on Opnerp SSL part (6.1.1) and I saw your blog on this (http://www.zbeanztech.com/blog/setting-ssl-proxy-openerp-web).I am getting one error like 502 reverse proxy error when I apply https and when I run on http it is working fine.
Hi Fahad:
Thanks for your precious tips and help, as a matter of fact I have been able to get the OPENERP 6.1 online, with some errors but at least I am able to use Openerp online.
I am using the version 6.1 , I have been trying for a while to set up the the automated email function for send an RFQ as soon as I finished, instead to make it in PDF.
But so far all tips I have been able to catch in the internet , they do not match with nothing I have in my Openerp..
Do wo have any idea where can I achive the function to send emails directly instead to print them in PDF..
Thanks

Dashboard is one of the major features in ERP, that simplifies the analysis of information.
In OpenERP user can create your own dashboard without involving a technical person. Dashboard feature is included in the module “board”.
How to set customized dashboard as home page for users
Anoop,
How to hide the "Reset" button at the dashboard in the Web Client?
We do not want the end-user to reset the view that we've taken a hard time to do.
Thanks,
Jaf
Go to administration -->Users-->Users-->
And in users form, the customized dashboard menu set as home action.
Is it possible to dynamically filter the views of a dashboard based on the other view of the dashboard?
EG.
I make a dashboard with Manufacturing orders and work orders.
I want to look at one manufacturing order in one view and the corresponding work orders in other view.
Hi Mihai,
Current OpenERP system doesn't allow. But you can use the group operator to get this done .
For example . you can view the workorders using the "group_by " feature- group_by production_order.
Hi Anoop,
Can we include "Menuitems" (as we have icons for sales,purchase etc on homepage of web) in Dashboard?
Thank You!
