web/web_m2x_options

==================================
Add new options for many2one field
==================================


Description
-----------

This module changes "many2one" and "many2manytags" form widgets, so as to
add some new display control options.

** New: support many2manytags widget ! **

** New: support global option management with ir.config_parameter ! **

The options provided include the possibility to remove "Create..." and/or
"Create and Edit..." entries from many2one and many2many drop down lists. You
can also change the default number of entries appearing in the drop-down, or
 prevent the dialog box poping in case of validation error occurring.

If not specified, the module will avoid proposing any of the create options
if the current user have no permission rights to create the related object.


Requirements
------------

Was tested on openerp v7.0


New option
----------

``create`` *boolean* (Default: depends if user have create rights)

  Whether to display the "Create..." entry in dropdown panel.

``create_edit`` *boolean* (Default: depends if user have create rights)

  Whether to display "Create and Edit..." entry in dropdown panel

ir.config_parameter options
---------------------------

Now you can disable "Create..." and "Create and Edit..." entry for all widgets in the odoo instance.
If you disable one option, you can enable it for particular field by setting "create: True" option directly on the field definition.

  Whether to display the "Create..." entry in dropdown panel for all fields in the odoo instance.

``web_m2x_options.create_edit`` *boolean* (Default: depends if user have create rights)

``web_m2x_options.limit`` *int* (Default: openerp default value is ``7``)

  Number of displayed records in drop-down panel for all fields in the odoo instance

``web_m2x_options.search_more`` *boolean* (Default: default value is ``False``)

  Whether the field should always show "Search more..." entry or not.

To add these parameters go to Configuration -> Technical -> Parameters -> System Parameters and add new parameters like:

- web_m2x_options.create: False
- web_m2x_options.create_edit: False
- web_m2x_options.m2o_dialog: False
- web_m2x_options.limit: 10
- web_m2x_options.search_more: True


Example
-------

Your XML form view definition could contain::

    ...
    <field name="partner_id" options="{'limit': 10, 'create': false, 'create_edit': false, 'search_more':true 'field_color':'state', 'colors':{'active':'green'}}"/>
    ...

Note
----

Double check that you have no inherited view that remote ``options`` you set on a field ! 
If nothing work, add a debugger in the first line of ``get_search_result`` method and enable debug mode in OpenERP. When you write something in a many2one field, javascript debugger should pause. If not verify your installation.
