# web_m2x_options

This modules modifies “many2one” and “many2manytags” form widgets so as to add some new display control options.

Options provided includes possibility to remove “Create…” and/or “Create and Edit…” entries drop down. You can also change default number of proposition appearing in the drop-down.

If not specified, the module will avoid proposing any of the create options if the current user has no permission rights to create the related object.

## Usage

### in the field’s options dict

`limit` int (Default: odoo default value is `8`)

> Number of displayed record in drop-down panel

`search_more` boolean

> Used to force disable/enable search more button.

`field_color` string

> A string to define the field used to define color. This option has to be used with colors.

`colors` dictionary

> A dictionary to link field value with a HTML color. This option has to be used with field_color.

### ir.config_parameter options

Now you can disable “Create…” and “Create and Edit…” entry for all widgets in the odoo instance. If you disable one option, you can enable it for particular field by setting “create: True” option directly on the field definition.

`web_m2x_options.create` boolean (Default: depends if user have create rights)

> Whether to display the “Create…” entry in dropdown panel for all fields in the odoo instance.

`web_m2x_options.create_edit` boolean (Default: depends if user have create rights)

> Whether to display “Create and Edit…” entry in dropdown panel for all fields in the odoo instance.

`web_m2x_options.limit` int (Default: odoo default value is `8`)

> Number of displayed record in drop-down panel for all fields in the odoo instance

`web_m2x_options.search_more` boolean (Default: default value is `False`)

> Whether the field should always show “Search more…” entry or not.

`web_m2x_options.field_limit_entries` int

> Number of displayed lines on all One2many fields

To add these parameters go to Configuration -> Technical -> Parameters -> System Parameters and add new parameters like:

- web_m2x_options.create: False
- web_m2x_options.create_edit: False
- web_m2x_options.limit: 10
- web_m2x_options.search_more: True
- web_m2x_options.field_limit_entries: 5

### Example

Your XML form view definition could contain:

    ...
    <field name="partner_id" options="{'limit': 10, 'search_more': true, 'field_color':'type', 'colors':{'contact':'green', 'invoice': 'red', 'delivery': 'blue'}}"/>
    ...

## Known issues / Roadmap

Double check that you have no inherited view that remove `options` you set on a field ! If nothing works, add a debugger in the first line of `_search method` and enable debug mode in Odoo. When you write something in a many2one field, javascript debugger should pause. If not verify your installation.

- Instead of making the tags rectangle clickable, I think it’s better to put the text as a clickable link, so we will get a consistent behaviour/aspect with other clickable elements (many2one…).
- Properly support web_m2x_options on Many2OneReferenceField.
