odoo9-addon-module-prototyper 9.0.0.1.0.99.dev1

Prototype your module.

Module Prototyper

This module allows the administrator to prototype new features and export them as module. Functional people can prepare the job for a developer who is left with the logic to implement in addition to everything the prototype does not export yet.

Installation

Make sure you have Jinja2 version 2.7.3 or higher installed:

$ pip install --upgrade Jinja2==2.7.3

Configuration

No configuration required.

Usage

To use this module, you need to:

• install the dependencies of your future module

• customize your instance by adding fields and creating inherited views

• create your menu items and their window actions

• prepare your data and demo data by creating filters

• create your own groups with access rights and record rules

• add your own access rights and record rules to an existing group

Once you have customized your instance properly, you can go to Settings > Module Prototypes > Prototypes and create a new prototype:

• fill in the information of your module (enter the name, the description, the logo, etc.)

• in the Depencencies tab, select all the other modules that yours will be depending on

• in the Data & Demo tab, select your filters for data and demo data

• in the Fields tab, select the fields you created or customized

• in the Interface tab, select your menu items and your views

• in the Security tab, select your groups, access rights and record rules

• save and click on export

You will get a zip file containing your module ready to be installed and compliant with the conventions of the OCA. You can then provide the module to a developer who have to implement things like default values or onchange methods.
