AI-generated from the code · Odoo 14.0

Lets developers show a confirmation or alert pop-up before a record is saved in Odoo. Pop-up rules are configured in a new 'Popup message' screen, but a developer must still add the code that triggers them.

This module adds a new configuration screen called Popup message, found under the Settings menu. There, an administrator can create rules that decide which pop-up appears when a record is saved.

For each rule you choose: - the model (the type of record, e.g. a sales order), - the fields to watch, - the type: Confirmation (the user can accept or cancel) or Alert (just an information message), - a title and a message, which can be translated, - and whether the rule is active.

When a user saves a form, Odoo asks the record for matching pop-up rules. A Confirmation pop-up lets the user continue or cancel the save; an Alert pop-up only informs. If several rules match, they are shown one after another. After the user confirms, the module can run a follow-up action defined by the developer.

Important: the module only provides the technical hooks. The code that decides when a pop-up should appear must be written by a developer on the model concerned. Without that code, no pop-up is shown. Regular users can only read the pop-up rules; only administrators can create, edit or delete them.

Usage

Source · Odoo 14.0

Create popup.message record. Specify model_id, field_ids (which fields will trigger alert) and other fields. Put you code into get_message_informations or execute_processing method of you model. Return dict (perform read() to get it). Here is some examples how you can use this module features in your code.

Confirm res.partner change:

msg = self.env['popup.message'].create(
    {
        'model_id': self.env['ir.model']._get_id('res.partner')
        'field_ids': [(6, 0, self.env['ir.model.fields'].search([('model', '=', 'res.partner')]).ids)],
        'popup_type': 'confirm',
        'title': 'Warning',
        'message': 'Are you sure want to update record?',
    }
)
return msg.read()

Sale order alert:

msg = self.env['popup.message'].create(
    {
        'model_id': self.env['ir.model']._get_id('sale.order'),
        'field_ids': [(6, 0, self.env['ir.model.fields'].search([('model', '=', 'sale.order')]).ids)],
        'popup_type': 'alert',
        'title': 'Attention',
        'message': 'Sale order was updated.',
    }
