XML Reports
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
This module was written to extend the functionality of the reporting engine to
|
|
support XML reports and allow modules to generate them by code or by QWeb
|
|
templates.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
To install this module, you need to:
|
|
|
|
* Install lxml_ in Odoo's ``$PYTHONPATH``.
|
|
* Install the repository `reporting-engine`_.
|
|
|
|
But this module does nothing for the end user by itself, so if you have it
|
|
installed it's probably because there is another module that depends on it.
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
This module is intended as a base engine for other modules to use it, so no direct result if you are a user.
|
|
|
|
If you are a developer
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
To learn from an example, just check the `sample module`_.
|
|
|
|
To develop with this module, you need to:
|
|
|
|
* Create a module.
|
|
* Make it depend on this one.
|
|
* Follow `instructions to create reports`_ having in mind that the
|
|
``report_type`` field in your ``ir.actions.report.xml`` record must be
|
|
``qweb-xml``.
|
|
|
|
In case you want to create a `custom report`_, the instructions remain the same
|
|
as for HTML reports, and the method that you must override is also called
|
|
``render_html``, even when this time you are creating a XML report.
|
|
|
|
You can make your custom report inherit ``report_xml.xsd_checked_report``, name
|
|
it like your XML ``<template>`` id prepended by ``report.``, add a ``xsd()``
|
|
method that returns a XSD in a string, and have XSD automatic checking for
|
|
free.
|
|
|
|
You can visit ``http://<server-address>/report/xml/<module.report_name>/<ids>``
|
|
to see your XML report online as a web page.
