openerp - wizard should not close on button click

Question

I have added a button on wizard "Change Standard Price(stock.change.standard.price)". It is accessible from Products-> Procurement Tab -> "- update" link.

As soon as I click on that button wizard get closed though I don't want to close it. It should be close when I click on "Apply" or "cancel".

Here is the code:

Button:

<button string="New Cost" name="get_price" type="object" class="oe_inline"/>

Method:

def get_price(self, cr, uid, ids, context=None):
    cost_price = 100
return {'new_price': cost_price, 'nodestroy': True}

I am returning nodestroy too as I read it will for not destroying wizard.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanx in advance.

Answer 1

Try to return dictionary like

    return {
        'name':_("wizard name"),
        'view_mode': 'form',
        'view_type': 'form',
        'res_model': 'model', # your current model
        'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
        'nodestroy': True,
        'target': 'new',
        'context': {'default_fieldname': 'your value'}
    }

This will reopen the wizard.if you want to reopen the wizard.

Answer 2

you should return the dictionary like this to reopen the wizard,

view_id = self.pool.get('ir.ui.view').search(cr,uid,[('model','=','your wizard')])
return {
    'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
    'res_model': 'your wizard',
    'name': _('Your wizard Heading'),
    'res_id': ids[0],
    'view_type': 'form',
    'view_mode': 'form',
    'view_id': view_id,
    'target': 'new',
     'nodestroy': True,
     'context': context
        }

(Odoo 9/10) The simplest thing to do is do avoid closing the wizard :

@api.multi
def null_action(self):
    return {
        "type": "set_scrollTop",
    }

As the type is used to call any method on the class ActionManager (javascript)

It's better than "type": "ir.actions.do_nothing" which generate an exception (this attribute doesn't exist)
