print override with popup odoo

Question

I am overriding print picking button in warehouse. But the requirement is that it should show a popup which has selection field as sort. then grab that value from user and print report based on the value passed. below is my tried code, but it does not work.

Overridden function for click on print picking list button:

 def do_print_picking(self, cr, uid, ids, context=None):
    return {
        'name':'input sort report',
        'view_type':'form',
        'view_mode':'form',
        'res_model':'my.report',
        'type':'ir.actions.act_window',
        'target':'new',
        'context':None,
    }

This opens a blank page. How to achieve below stated requirement.

Then i want to get sort value from that popup and print the report by passing the value. i am able to print the report without popup. only need to intercept to show popup and get input from user.

UPDATE:

The field in the popup is not stored in database. only need a value of sort selected by user to send to the report

Please help me. Thanks,

Hi danidee, the scenario is i have created custom module only for printing reports. In this module i have one file as stock_picking.py, which overrides the stock picking model function ( do_print_picking). The second file is my.report model, but _auto= False so that it do not create table. Now when user clicks the button, this function gets call to show popup which has selection for sort. Then user select the sort. And then report prints based on value of sort. So basically my.report. do not have any code, only class declaration with _ auto= False. — user280960

Odoo can't show a form view if it hasn't got an id. you should add res_id to your return dict.

for example:

return {
        'name':'input sort report',
        'view_type':'form',
        'view_mode':'form',
        'res_model':'my.report',
        'res_id : ids[0],
        'type':'ir.actions.act_window',
        'target':'new',
        'context':None,
    }

This code might work for you. If not you should find a method to get the correct id.
