adding images dynamically to an openerp rml report file


I want to do something like this in a openerp report, how would I need to go about to create this file path:

<image file="images\[[o.name]]" x="72" y="72"/>

Are there ways to create variables in rml that I could then feed to the file= attribute.

I have little to no python knowledge, but would love to get this solved.

Right now I am trying to adjust the order.rml, I can load images, but only statically ...


Solution

  • In the reports .py file add a python function like this:

    self.localcontext.update({
                'time': time,
                'image_url' : self._get_imagepath,
            })
    
    def _get_imagepath(self,product):
            attach_ids = self.pool.get('ir.attachment').search(self.cr, self.uid, [('res_model','=','product.product'), ('res_id', '=',product)])
            datas = self.pool.get('ir.attachment').read(self.cr, self.uid, attach_ids)
            if len(datas):
                # if there are several, pick first
                try:
                    if datas[0]['link']:
                        try:
                            img_data =  base64.encodestring(urllib.urlopen(datas[0]['link']).read())
                            return img_data
                        except Exception,innerEx:
                            print innerEx
                    elif datas[0]['datas']:
                        return datas[0]['datas']
                except Exception,e:
                    print e
            return None
    

    in the rml itself call the function as such:

    <para>[[ image_url(o['id']) and setTag('para','image') or removeParentNode('para') ]][[ image_url(o['id']) ]]</para>
