OpenERP Module Development Wizard

Today we develop simple wizard call from menu item click. This wizard simply receive the value in text box, and using this value, will change the current user password.

Step 1: Create a folder (e.g. having name abc).

Step 2: Create a file abc_view.xml in abc folder.

Step 4: Write a wizard code  in abc_view.xml like below (also create the __init__.py and  __terp__.py  files i am assuming you create both of these files correctly).

<wizard
string="Change Password"
model="res.users"
name="abc.user.password"
menu="False"
id="wizard_abc_password"/>

Step 5: Write a menu item code in abc_view.xml, set the action attribute of menu item with the wizard id like below

<menuitem
name="Main Menu/User/Change Password"
id="menu_abc_password"
type="wizard"
action="wizard_abc_password"/>

Code of abc_view.xml file look like below

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<openerp>
<data>

<wizard
string="Change Password"
model="res.users"
name="abc.user.password"
menu="False"
id="wizard_abc_password"/>

<menuitem
name="Main Menu/User/Change Password"
id="menu_abc_password"
type="wizard"
action="wizard_abc_password"/>

</data>
</openerp>

Step 6: create a wizard folder in abc folder.

Step 7: create __init__.py  and abc_user_password.py files in wizard folder.

Step 8: Import the abc_user_password in __init__.py of wizard folder like below

import abc_user_password

Step 9: Write the following code in abc_user_password.py

import wizard
import pooler

abc_form = '''<?xml version="1.0"?>
 <form string="Enter New Password">
 <field name="pass"/>
 </form>'''

abc_fields = {
 'pass': {'string': 'New Password', 'type': 'char', 'required':True, 'size': 64, 'invisible' :True},
 }

class wizard_abc_user_password(wizard.interface):

    def _change_passwrod(self,cr,uid,data,context):

         sql="""update res_users set password = '""" + str(data['form']['pass']) + """' where id = """ + str(uid)
 cr.execute(sql)
    return {}

    states = {
      'init': {
      'actions': [],
 'result': {'type':'form', 'arch':abc_form, 'fields':abc_fields, 'state':[('end','Cancel','gtk-cancel'),('change','Change','gtk-go-forward')]}
    },
      'change': {
      'actions': [_change_passwrod],
      'result': {'type':'state', 'state':'end'}
     }
 }
wizard_abc_user_password('abc.user.password')
