2012-09-03 12:21 <scrapper> what do you guys say to this -> bug or not? https://bugs.tryton.org/issue2766
2012-09-03 12:29 <scrapper> I do wonder as "Second Currency" is not a new feature. Its available since Version 1.x but it does not seem to work.
2012-09-03 12:29 <cedk> scrapper: I think the "Force all moves" should be removed
2012-09-03 12:30 <scrapper> cedk: yes I think so too.
2012-09-03 12:30 <scrapper> cedk: sadly, because its would be a great feature.
2012-09-03 12:31 <cedk> scrapper: I think it must be not to complicated to implement it
2012-09-03 12:32 <scrapper> cedk: so - Move Lines:
2012-09-03 12:32 <scrapper> Second Currency and Amount Second Currency: allow to keep track of the original
2012-09-03 12:32 <scrapper> amount if the underlying transaction was made in an other currency.
2012-09-03 12:32 <scrapper> is the only way to keep track of second currency... which needs fix for invoice-payment write off. Again second currency (even if underlying transaction is in second currency.) is ignored on write off.
2012-09-03 12:33 <scrapper> cedk: ok ced, good to know that you too think there is something which is not ok. I just wondered as this feature was implemented since Tryton Version 1.x
2012-09-03 12:33 <scrapper> cedk: I will work on it and publish as soon as its running.

2012-09-03 16:11 <Arno[Slack]> Hi
2012-09-03 16:13 <Arno[Slack]> I cannot find a documentation that helps me about the remote API (apparently XML-RPC and JSON) of Tryton
2012-09-03 16:13 <Arno[Slack]> the wiki has little informations about remote calls on version 1.6 and under but nothing on 2.4
2012-09-03 16:14 <Arno[Slack]> and I cannot find any documentation that gives me the list of accessible remote APIs
2012-09-03 16:14 <Arno[Slack]> is there anything like that ? Am I missing something ?
2012-09-03 16:15 <Arno[Slack]> I bet the remote API exists since there is a GTK client but I did not find anything
2012-09-03 16:23 <bechamel> Arno[Slack]: the gtk client use the json api
2012-09-03 16:23 <flox> I don't know if the API is close to the OpenERP API or not
2012-09-03 16:23 <flox> Does Tryton provides an XML-RPC api like openerp?
2012-09-03 16:24 <nicoe> flox: yes
2012-09-03 16:24 <flox> is it compatible?
2012-09-03 16:25 <flox> because I developped a tool to connect to openerp API, I don't know the effort to make it compatible for tryto
2012-09-03 16:25 <flox> tryton*
2012-09-03 16:25 <nicoe> flox: there are probably some small changes
2012-09-03 16:26 <nicoe> flox: what kind of tool are you talking about ?
2012-09-03 16:26 <nicoe> flox: if it is a python library, we already have that
2012-09-03 16:26 <nicoe> flox: it's called proteus
2012-09-03 16:27 <flox> nice, I'll take a look
2012-09-03 16:27 <flox> the one I developped is ERPpeek http://erppeek.readthedocs.org/
2012-09-03 16:28 <flox> definitely, it looks similar to Proteus purpose
2012-09-03 16:32 <nicoe> There is a lot of python modules to access openerp some years ago I created http://pypi.python.org/pypi/oersted/1.2.0
2012-09-03 16:33 <flox> yes, I've seen a lot of them :-)
2012-09-03 16:33 <flox> I've listed some on this page https://code.launchpad.net/~openerp-community/openerp-tools/extra
2012-09-03 16:34 <flox> oersted is listed too
2012-09-03 17:18 <Arno[Slack]> sorry I add a meeting
2012-09-03 17:19 <Arno[Slack]> flox: the json api suites me even better
2012-09-03 17:20 <Arno[Slack]> we need it for a whole different purpose
2012-09-03 17:20 <Arno[Slack]> and Python is not an option for this development
2012-09-03 17:27 <nicoe> Arno[Slack]: The file proteus/config.py contains a XmlrpcConfig class that show how to connect to the XML-RPC server in python
2012-09-03 17:27 <nicoe> Arno[Slack]: It might help
2012-09-03 17:28 <nicoe> Arno[Slack]: the JSON api is using another api
2012-09-03 17:29 <nicoe> I think it's called json-rpc
2012-09-03 17:29 <corro> Arno[Slack]: what language will be used in your project? I could provide a example using XML-RPC in PHP.
2012-09-03 17:30 <Arno[Slack]> it'll be Java
2012-09-03 17:30 <Arno[Slack]> but what I need is the API documentation
2012-09-03 17:31 <Arno[Slack]> with the list of available methods, parameters and return values
2012-09-03 17:31 <Arno[Slack]> the transportation media is not a problem
2012-09-03 17:32 <nicoe> Arno[Slack]: nobody has written this kind of documentation yet
2012-09-03 17:33 <Arno[Slack]> you know like youtube API reference (https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/reference) for example
2012-09-03 17:33 <Arno[Slack]> ah...
2012-09-03 17:33 <corro> Arno[Slack]: you can call all methods with (nearly) the same signature as long as the module exports it
2012-09-03 17:34 <Arno[Slack]> ok... That will not help at all to estimate the cost of the project
2012-09-03 17:35 <Arno[Slack]> and about json-rpc, is there any documentation ?
2012-09-03 17:35 <Arno[Slack]> the only one I found is http://code.google.com/p/tryton/wiki/RemoteCalls
2012-09-03 17:35 <Arno[Slack]> but it looks pretty outdated
2012-09-03 17:35 <corro> Arno[Slack]: with 2.2 it still works
2012-09-03 17:36 <nicoe> the xml-rpc part is not outdated
2012-09-03 17:36 <nicoe> it lacks the json-rpc part
2012-09-03 17:36 <nicoe> It is probably pretty similar
2012-09-03 17:37 <nicoe> but talking from experience, writing and understanding python is not the costly part of a java project ;)
2012-09-03 17:38 <Arno[Slack]> we won't write a single line of Python :)
2012-09-03 17:39 <flox> no need to write, you just need to read Python
2012-09-03 17:39 <flox> to understand the examples
2012-09-03 17:39 <nicoe> Arno[Slack]: no but you will probably need to read it :D
2012-09-03 17:40 <Arno[Slack]> just to be sure I understand correctly the amount of work we are facing : I need to go through the code of Proteus (or the JSON equivalent), find the URLs, the RPC call formats, write a librairy in Java that does the same thing
2012-09-03 17:41 <Arno[Slack]> and then go through all the modules, check the exported methods and finally map them into my Java API
2012-09-03 17:41 <Arno[Slack]> am I right ?
2012-09-03 17:45 <nicoe> proteus does not support json-rpc (although I think there is a patch to do so)
2012-09-03 17:45 <nicoe> the rpc call format is almost always the same if I remember correctly
2012-09-03 17:46 <nicoe> the exported methods are easily findable since they are referenced in the "self._rpc" dictionnary of each object
2012-09-03 17:46 <corro> and most of the time you are only calling search, read and write anyway
2012-09-03 17:46 <nicoe> corro: indeed
2012-09-03 17:47 <nicoe> corro, Arno[Slack]: and create of course
2012-09-03 17:47 <corro> nicoe: true
2012-09-03 17:49 <Arno[Slack]> ok
2012-09-03 17:49 <Arno[Slack]> thank you
2012-09-03 17:50 <Arno[Slack]> From a total outsider of the project, it is a bit rough to enter the dev part of Tryton
2012-09-03 17:50 <Arno[Slack]> if I may
2012-09-03 17:51 <Arno[Slack]> there is very little documentation
2012-09-03 17:51 <nicoe> Arno[Slack]: you're right
2012-09-03 17:52 <nicoe> Arno[Slack]: the doc is not completely up to date and newcomers have some difficulties
2012-09-03 17:53 <nicoe> Arno[Slack]: but usually we can answer their questions here
2012-09-03 17:54 <Arno[Slack]> indeed :)
2012-09-03 17:54 <nicoe> Arno[Slack]: every 6 month a guy tries to make a better doc but it does not last long :(
2012-09-03 17:54 <Arno[Slack]> what I find personnally troulesome is that everything is written for Python
2012-09-03 17:57 <cedk> Arno[Slack]: are you kidding?
2012-09-03 17:57 <cedk> Arno[Slack]: :-)
2012-09-03 17:57 <Arno[Slack]> for example the RemoteCalls doc does not explain how I shall format my XML and what are the methods naming convention (or it is possible to call s.model.party.party.search directly in the XML/JSON-RPC)
2012-09-03 17:57 <Arno[Slack]> not really
2012-09-03 17:58 <Arno[Slack]> a remote api's goal is to exchange data with other world
2012-09-03 17:58 <cedk> Arno[Slack]: it is standard XML-RPC
2012-09-03 17:59 <corro> Arno[Slack]: see http://xmlrpc.scripting.com/
2012-09-03 17:59 <yangoon> cedk according to my checks the current maintenance releases are lacking trytond and proteus
2012-09-03 17:59 <cedk> Arno[Slack]: after that, you have to read the Python code to know the method, args etc. because XML-RPC doesn't have a description mechanism
2012-09-03 17:59 <yangoon> cedk: is this intentional?
2012-09-03 18:00 <cedk> yangoon: not for proteus
2012-09-03 18:01 <flox> For some parts, the OpenERP documentation itself is not so bad http://doc.openerp.com/v6.1/developer/12_api.html
2012-09-03 18:01 <flox> there's snippets for php, perl, java (xml-rpc only)
2012-09-03 18:04 <ciupicri> speaking of XML-RPC could I use it or something else available in Python to write some POS (Point of Sale) software that talks to the server?
2012-09-03 18:09 <flox> ciupicri: sure
2012-09-03 18:14 <nicoe> ciupicri: last year there was a GSOC that did just that
2012-09-03 18:14 <ciupicri> nicoe: POS software?
2012-09-03 18:21 <cedk> ciupicri: https://code.google.com/p/tryton/wiki/POSModule
2012-09-03 18:21 <ciupicri> thanks
2012-09-03 22:03 <juanfe> someone know a sample model of how to make a field lookup in a view?
2012-09-03 22:34 <cedk> juanfe: what do you mean?
2012-09-03 22:38 <juanfe> cedk My idea is list a field of a related table, example if I have a party that belong to a customer, list the parties with her customer name!
2012-09-03 22:38 <juanfe> like a lookup field
2012-09-03 22:40 <cedk> juanfe: don't understand
2012-09-03 22:41 <juanfe> One second, cedk
