Type name = "action" in openerp button

I have a problem when I want to make a button in type="action"

, it is really different from type="object"

. I just want to make a button that can connect one module to another. It already exists in openerp for several buttons type="action"

. I just want to understand what is the function of "name"

this button?

I have an example, I found this xml script in the backend selling folder:

<button name="%(action_view_sale_advance_payment_inv)d"
 string="Create Invoice"
 type="action"
 states="manual"
 class="oe_highlight"
 groups="base.group_user"/>

when i installed the sale module i see the xml script in the frontend sale.order.form

, it already changes to:

<button name="278"
 string="Create Invoice"
 type="action"
 states="manual"
 class="oe_highlight"
 groups="base.group_user"/>

What's going on with "name"

? Can anyone give me a simple button type="action"

?

There are three types of types for a button: object , action, and workflow . default workflow .

Now let's understand the meaning of these three types:

  • object

    used when you want to call a method that is written in a file .py

    .

  • action

    used when you want to invoke any action written in the file .xml

    . Let's say if you want to open a wizard from a button click, you can use type="action"

    .

  • workflow

    (default) is used if you want to invoke a workflow .



<button name="%(action_view_sale_advance_payment_inv)d"
 string="Create Invoice"
 type="action">

when the Create Account button is clicked , you will see the wizard.

<button name="278" string="Create Invoice" type="action">

Here 278

is the ID in the postgresql database of the activity action_view_sale_advance_payment_inv

.
