Odoo 11 Development Essentials - Third Edition

By: Daniel Reis

Overview of this book

Odoo continues to gain worldwide momentum as the best platform for open source ERP installations. Now, with Odoo 11, you have access to an improved GUI, performance optimization, integrated in-app purchase features, and a fast-growing community to help transform and modernize your business. With this practical guide, you will cover all the new features that Odoo 11 has to offer to build and customize business applications, focusing on the publicly available community edition. We begin with setting up a development environment, and as you make your way through the chapters, you will learn to build feature-rich business applications. With the aim of jump-starting your Odoo proficiency level, from no specific knowledge to application development readiness, you will develop your first Odoo application. We then move on to topics such as models and views, and understand how to use server APIs to add business logic, helping to lay a solid foundation for advanced topics. The book concludes with Odoo interactions and how to use the Odoo API from other programs, all of which will enable you to efficiently integrate applications with other external systems.

Other view types


It's worth noting that we didn't cover three other view types that are also available: kanban, gantt, and diagram.

Kanban views will be covered in detail in Chapter 10, Kanban Views and Client Side QWeb.

The gantt view was available until Version 8.0, but it was removed in Version 9.0 Community Edition because of license incompatibilities. An equivalent view is available in the Enterprise Edition. For a community open source alternative, you may want to have a look at the web_timeline module, hosted at https://github.com/OCA/web. At the time of writing, this module hasn't yet been ported to Odoo 11.

Finally, the diagram views are used in quite specific cases, and an addon module will need them rarely. Just in case, you might like to know that the reference material for the two view types can be found in the official documentation: http://www.odoo.com/documentation/11.0/reference/views.html#diagram.
