AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

Provides a reusable building block that lets other Odoo modules show and count the calendar events linked to their records, with a button that opens those events in a calendar view.

This module does not add a new screen by itself. It adds a technical, reusable component (an abstract model called calendar.event.link.mixin) that other modules can attach to their own records so those records can be linked to calendar events.

When a model uses this component, each record gets:

  • A counter field, event_count, that automatically shows how many calendar events are linked to that record. It is calculated by looking at calendar events whose linked document matches the record's model and ID.
  • A button action, action_show_events, that opens a window listing the calendar events linked to that specific record. The window is shown in calendar, list and form views, and it is pre-filled so that any new event created from there is automatically linked back to the record.

Because it depends on the standard Calendar app, it works with the existing calendar.event model and its link fields (res_model and res_id). No menus, reports, emails or scheduled jobs are added by this module. Its value is only visible once another module uses this component; on its own it changes nothing for end users.

    _inherit = ['your.model', 'calendar.event.link.mixin']
  • Inherit the form view of your model and add this button to the button_box div
<button class="oe_stat_button" type="object" name="action_show_events" icon="fa-calendar">
    <div class="o_stat_info">
        <field name="event_count" class="o_stat_value"/>
        <span class="o_stat_text" attrs="{'invisible': [('event_count', '&lt;', 2)]}">Meetings</span>
