Configuration Helper

This module is intended for developer only. It does nothing used alone.

It helps to create config.settings by providing an abstract Class.

This class:

• creates automatically related fields in 'whatiwant.config.settings' using those defined in 'res.company': it avoids duplicated field definitions.
• company_id field with default value is created
• onchange_company_id is defined to update all related fields
• supported fields: char, text, integer, float, datetime, date, boolean, m2o

How to use

from . company import ResCompany

class WhatiwantClassSettings(orm.TransientModel):
    _inherit = ['res.config.settings', 'abstract.config.settings']
    _name = 'whatiwant.config.settings'
    # fields must be defined in ResCompany class
    # related fields are automatically generated from previous definitions
    _companyObject = ResCompany
    # all prefixed field with _prefix in res.company, will be available in 'whatiwant.config.settings' model
    _prefix = 'prefixyouchoose_'

Roadmap

• support (or check support) for these field types : o2m, m2m, reference, property, selection
• automatically generate a default view for 'whatiwant.config.settings' (in --debug ?)
