Generic tags (base_tags)

Base tags implementation for Odoo

Consists of set of modules to add tags to standard Odoo models.

At this moment there are modules to add tags for models:

• account.invoice model
• product.product model

Compatability:

• Odoo version 7.0: works fine
• Odoo version 8.0 and higher: not tested

Usage

To add tags to your model You need to folow folowing simple steps:

1. Add base_tags module as dependency for your module

2. Use inherit from "res.tag.mixin" to get tags functionality to Your model, like:

    class Product(orm.Model):
        _name = "product.product"
        _inherit = ["product.product",
                    "res.tag.mixin"]
    Product()

3. Add record to taggable models registry:

    <record model="res.tag.model" id="res_tag_model_product_product">
      <field name="name">Product</field>
      <field name="model">product.product</field>
    </record>

4. Now You can use tag_ids field in Your views for Your model:

   • search view:

   <field name="tag_ids" string="Tag"
          filter_domain="['|',('tag_ids.name','ilike',self),('tag_ids.code','ilike',self)]"/>
   <field name="no_tag_id" string="No tag"/>  <!-- For invers searching (items that do not contain tag)-->

   • tree view:

   <field name="tag_ids" widget="many2many_tags" placeholder="Tags..."/>

   • form view:

   <field name="tag_ids"
          widget="many2many_tags"
          placeholder="Tags..."
          context="{'default_model': 'product.product'}"/>

   Pay attention on context field. This will allow to avoid tag form popup when adding tag from form field

Future plans

• custom widget to show help/comment on tags mous over
• ability to show tags same in form view and in tree/list view
• make tags colored (any tag could have ovn color to fill backround in)
