I have created 2 recrods, action report and template for pdf, but I have never defined the docs variable in the model, so how can Odoo understand it, or is it defined by default somewhere? So what if I want to define additional variables like "text1" : "hello" to use in the template? Thanks All
The docs
variable is set while rendering the report,in _get_rendering_context function
1/ You can pass them through data
to report_action
Example: (from employees summary report)
def print_report(self):
self.ensure_one()
[data] = self.read()
data['emp'] = self.env.context.get('active_ids', [])
employees = self.env['hr.employee'].browse(data['emp'])
datas = {
'ids': [],
'model': 'hr.employee',
'form': data
}
return self.env.ref('hr_holidays.action_report_holidayssummary').report_action(employees, data=datas)
2/ You can also use a custom report and define additional variables in _get_report_values
Example: (from holidays summary report)
@api.model
def _get_report_values(self, docids, data=None):
if not data.get('form'):
raise UserError(_("Form content is missing, this report cannot be printed."))
holidays_report = self.env['ir.actions.report']._get_report_from_name('hr_holidays.report_holidayssummary')
holidays = self.env['hr.leave'].browse(self.ids)
return {
'doc_ids': self.ids,
'doc_model': holidays_report.model,
'docs': holidays,
'get_header_info': self._get_header_info(data['form']['date_from'], data['form']['holiday_type']),
'get_day': self._get_day(data['form']['date_from']),
'get_months': self._get_months(data['form']['date_from']),
'get_data_from_report': self._get_data_from_report(data['form']),
'get_holidays_status': self._get_holidays_status(),
}
