Report declaration
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 7.1
|
|
|
|
Before version 7.1, report declaration could be done in two different ways:
|
|
either via a ``<report>`` tag in XML, or via such a tag and a class
|
|
instanciation in a Python module. Instanciating a class in a Python module was
|
|
necessary when a custom parser was used.
|
|
|
|
In version 7.1, the recommended way to register a report is to use only the
|
|
``<report>`` XML tag. The tag can now support an additional ``parser``
|
|
attribute. The value for that attibute must be a fully-qualified class name,
|
|
without the leading ``openerp.addons.`` namespace.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The rational to deprecate the manual class instanciation is to make all
|
|
reports visible in the database, have a unique way to declare reports
|
|
instead of two, and remove the need to maintain a registry of reports in
|
|
memory.
