2010-11-10 11:06 <gordon_geeko> quick question: any plan for adding a groupby function for views?
2010-11-10 11:06 <cedk> gordon_geeko: no why?
2010-11-10 11:07 <gordon_geeko> its a good feature to have in a view, no?
2010-11-10 11:07 <gordon_geeko> for when you have lots of data
2010-11-10 11:07 <cedk> gordon_geeko: I don't think
2010-11-10 11:08 <cedk> gordon_geeko: I don't understand why it is good in this case
2010-11-10 11:08 <gordon_geeko> say you have a multicompany situation, you'd like to get results per company
2010-11-10 11:09 <cedk> gordon_geeko: which results?
2010-11-10 11:10 <cedk> gordon_geeko: in fact we already have this with a tree view
2010-11-10 11:10 <gordon_geeko> oh, ok... i just started looking at it
2010-11-10 11:13 <cedk> gordon_geeko: and also the implementation of OE is really dirty
2010-11-10 11:17 <cedk> but if someone comes with a clear and clean concept, we are opened to discussion

2010-11-10 11:24 <cedk> I would prefer to improve the read method to get a syntax closer to SQL
2010-11-10 11:25 <cedk> gordon_geeko: more over, the group_by doesn't work per example if you got number linked to a unit
2010-11-10 11:25 <cedk> gordon_geeko: like quantity on stock move etc.
2010-11-10 11:25 <cedk> gordon_geeko: you will get a sum that has no meaning
2010-11-10 11:26 <cedk> gordon_geeko: or like summing sale order with different currencies
2010-11-10 11:28 <cedk> so as you see it will bring a lot of issue and question from the end user
2010-11-10 11:28 <cedk> but we can achieve the same result but writing an Model that make the correct compution of grouping

2010-11-10 12:11 <gordon_geeko> cedk: i see your points, i'm at the stage of considering switching from OE
2010-11-10 12:12 <gordon_geeko> to convince management, i'd need to have clear what would be missing in terms of features
2010-11-10 12:13 <cedk> gordon_geeko: we work in a difference way than OE, we don't try to make development to get a new but ugly feature
2010-11-10 12:13 <gordon_geeko> we're right in the middle of a fairly important project, so this is not easy
2010-11-10 12:13 <cedk> gordon_geeko: what are your requirements?
2010-11-10 12:13 <gordon_geeko> cedk: this is exactly the reason that attracted me
2010-11-10 12:14 <gordon_geeko> an important one is a web interface at some point
2010-11-10 12:16 <cedk> gordon_geeko: what is the purpose of the web interface?
2010-11-10 12:16 <gordon_geeko> cedk: to avoid having to install/update clients
2010-11-10 12:17 <gordon_geeko> ... and for consistency - future apps in the company will be web-based
2010-11-10 12:18 <cedk> gordon_geeko: I realy think the install/update is not a real issue
2010-11-10 12:18 <cedk> gordon_geeko: in company there is always mail client, browser etc. that needs to be installed/updated
2010-11-10 12:19 <cedk> gordon_geeko: so the Tryton client should go in the same pipe
2010-11-10 12:19 <gordon_geeko> cedk: perhaps, but i'm talking about 100's of clients
2010-11-10 12:20 <cedk> gordon_geeko: the thin client will always be more user friendly and faster encodeing than a web site
2010-11-10 12:20 <cedk> gordon_geeko: the size is not an issue
2010-11-10 12:20 <cedk> gordon_geeko: especially with large number of clients, you must have those kind of stuffs already in place by the network admins
2010-11-10 12:21 <gordon_geeko> cedk: with linux it's not an issue i agree, i don't know windows
2010-11-10 12:21 <gordon_geeko> cedk: ... and happy to keep it that way
2010-11-10 12:22 <cedk> gordon_geeko: in every large windows network, I saw, there was scripts to deploy/update application
2010-11-10 12:22 <cedk> gordon_geeko: without that the network admins are completly overloaded
2010-11-10 12:23 <cedk> gordon_geeko: the web app way can not be justify by this because you still need a client app on the client workstation which is a web browser

2010-11-10 14:03 <gordon_geeko> is there an equivalent of OE "attrs" method of setting view attributes dynamically?
2010-11-10 14:08 <gordon_geeko> Equal/Get methods i'm guessing

2010-11-10 14:42 <kingsnake> hi, is possible to generate form views based on dynamic key/value properties?
2010-11-10 14:56 -!- pheller(~pheller@pool-173-48-216-195.bstnma.fios.verizon.net) has joined #tryton
2010-11-10 14:57 <pheller> gordon_geeko: You can generate pdf's, but you'll need openoffice with python bindings to do it. There is some potential for using openoffice in headless server mode to make the process a little more scalable.
2010-11-10 15:00 <gordon_geeko> pheller: thx, i kind of liked the print-screen function in OE to display the form in pdf
2010-11-10 15:00 <gordon_geeko> but i understand that this module is not GPL
2010-11-10 15:00 <pheller> gordon_geeko: oh I understand (it has been awhile since I've used OE)
2010-11-10 15:01 <gordon_geeko> pheller: what made you change ;)
2010-11-10 15:01 <gordon_geeko> ... switch to tryton that is
2010-11-10 15:02 <pheller> gordon_geeko: well, I haven't gone to production with any projects based on either, yet. I'm still mostly just an enthusiast, but I do have a few things in the planning stage.
2010-11-10 15:02 <pheller> gordon_geeko: what made me change was a very specific bug. I proposed a merge with a complete fix for the bug. OE implemented their own vision of a bug fix, which wasn't a fix at all. I complained.
2010-11-10 15:02 -!- digitalsatori(~tony@116.233.246.78) has joined #tryton
2010-11-10 15:03 <pheller> gordon_geeko: bug went unfixed, is still unfixed, and they just closed it as wont_fix or similar, because it's in 5.0.
2010-11-10 15:03 <pheller> gordon_geeko: so much for "community". I guess you're only a part of the "community" if you've paid them for a partner contract.
2010-11-10 15:03 <gordon_geeko> pheller: ic, they don't seem too cooperative with the community then
2010-11-10 15:04 <pheller> gordon_geeko: contrast that to Tryton, where I have been welcomed. I helped convert probably 1/4 of the modules for the Transaction manager change, fixed another 2 or 3 bugs, and submitted improvements for the Mac client. All reviewed via rietveld, accepted, and released in 1.8.
2010-11-10 15:05 <gordon_geeko> pheller: i like the code review approach
2010-11-10 15:05 <gordon_geeko> ... seems to be lacking in OE
2010-11-10 15:06 <pheller> gordon_geeko: it's quite good. And, cedk is always reviewing as if he is a human manifestation of "pylint". :-)
2010-11-10 15:06 <gordon_geeko> LOL
2010-11-10 15:07 <pheller> gordon_geeko: but it's good. the style is pretty consistent, and there is excellent direction here. The biggest problem for Tryton as a project is probably that people shy away from it because it doesn't have the module coverage or web client that OE has.
2010-11-10 15:07 <pheller> gordon_geeko: but things will come in time
2010-11-10 15:08 <gordon_geeko> pheller: i've got a fairly big project that started in OE but i'm not happy about the quality
2010-11-10 15:09 <gordon_geeko> so i'm seriously trying to push for a switch to tryton
2010-11-10 15:10 <gordon_geeko> this is a project from scratch, just using the framework so lack of modules is no issue
2010-11-10 15:10 <pheller> gordon_geeko: ah ha. what industry?
2010-11-10 15:10 <gordon_geeko> pheller: retail
2010-11-10 15:11 <gordon_geeko> pheller: not a full-blown erp - mainly accounting
2010-11-10 15:11 <pheller> gordon_geeko: so you will not use any modules beyond the base install modules?
2010-11-10 15:11 <gordon_geeko> pheller: exactly...
2010-11-10 15:12 <pheller> gordon_geeko: is it not possible to adapt the existing modules?
2010-11-10 15:12 <gordon_geeko> pheller: no, the needs are totally different
2010-11-10 15:14 <pheller> gordon_geeko: ok. I only ask because making modules public, when possible, gains you the advantage that other people will review the code, possibly use the module, and you gain from community support. The negative side being the hurdle to acceptance, and the community timeframe.
2010-11-10 15:14 <pheller> gordon_geeko: but I understand.

2010-11-10 15:25 <gordon_geeko> pheller: one concern here is professional support and development resources
2010-11-10 15:35 <kingsnake> i would like to see tryton go into the direction like a web framework where everybody builds his own thing and where it's the framework itself that get built upon
2010-11-10 15:36 <kingsnake> i say that because i was following your discussion a bit
2010-11-10 15:38 <bechamel> kingsnake: IMO tryton is more a framework than an ERP
2010-11-10 15:38 <kingsnake> yes definately
2010-11-10 15:39 <kingsnake> that's what i like about it
2010-11-10 15:39 <bechamel> actually one of the first thing whe have done when forking oerp, it's removing business concept from the core (mainly base/partner module)
2010-11-10 15:41 <bechamel> as cedk told me, it's a meta-erp: it allows to create differents ERP :)
2010-11-10 15:41 <gordon_geeko> :q
2010-11-10 15:44 -!- pjstevns(~pjstevns@a83-163-46-103.adsl.xs4all.nl) has left #tryton
2010-11-10 15:48 <pheller> I agree, Tryton should be totally severable from the modules..... I think Neso should implement something that is comparable to quickbooks -- usable out of the box for small business. And, I think the full blown ERP packages (including some manufacturing at some point) really are to demonstrate the Tryton framework....

2010-11-10 15:52 <bechamel> kingsnake: about the dynamic view, it's not documented but it's doable with the method fields_view_get which is defined in model/modelview.py and there an example of overloading in account/move.py (line 1171)
2010-11-10 16:00 <kingsnake> thank you i'm gonna look into that
2010-11-10 16:02 <bechamel> kingsnake: so it's basicaly creating on the fly the xml of the view

2010-11-10 22:10 <gordon_geeko> ne1 know the reason for having separate label elements in form?
2010-11-10 22:18 <udono> gordon_geeko: Hi, I do not understand your question
2010-11-10 22:19 <gordon_geeko> udono: i'm evaluating tryton, comparing it to OE and just wondering what the thinking is for having separate labels instead of using the string in the field definition
2010-11-10 22:20 <udono> gordon_geeko: with this we are more flexible in layout
2010-11-10 22:20 <gordon_geeko> udono: what about translation?
2010-11-10 22:20 <udono> gordon_geeko: We can do stuff like:
2010-11-10 22:20 <udono> Name [_________]
2010-11-10 22:20 <udono> Name
2010-11-10 22:20 <udono> [____________]
2010-11-10 22:21 <udono> gordon_geeko: translation is very wonderful in tryton I find.
2010-11-10 22:21 <gordon_geeko> udono: makes sense.... :)
2010-11-10 22:22 <udono> You can translate everything the user can see. views, reports, content
