python - Method return value to call another form in OpenERP

3
votes

Currently, you can set to return value of an OpenERP to the following, to get the current form to be closed: 

return {'type':'ir.actions.act_window_close' }

Is there a return value that would open another form instead? For example, in the Product form, buttons can call a sales form or a wizard form.

There is a function that gives you the act_window for a given xml_id.

def open_popup(self, cr, uid, ids, context=None):
    if move.parent_production_id:
        win_obj = self.pool.get('ir.actions.act_window')
        res = win_obj.for_xml_id(cr, uid, 'module_name', 'id_specified_for_the_view', context)
        return res
