Power Email

Poping up Mail-Wizard during workflow

Asked by Samuel Bissig (Toradex)

We have been looking for the following:

After an action (i.e. sale order confirmation) an e-mail should be sent. The user should still have the possibility to change the mail text, so the mail should not be sent in the background immediately but a poweremail wizard should pop up.

This is possible, if you create a new client action accessing a Mail form and add it as server action to the workflow (i.e. wait_invoice action). The problem using this solution is that attachments are not sent, because the rel_model_ref of the power_mail_wizard.py is not set. By changing the the following line in the _defaults:

'rel_model_ref': lambda self,cr,uid,ctx:ctx['active_id']

to

'rel_model_ref': lambda self,cr,uid,ctx:ctx['active_id'] or ctx['active_ids'][0],

We have solved this issue.

Our question: Is there a better way to solve this? Is it possible, that this change in the code is added to the branch?

Thanks a lot,

Samuel

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. Extremely busy these days..
Please wait for two days. I think the solution required is more straight forward .

I think this is a common requirement and it should be possible to set this from the template form itself like how server actions are set automatically.

Is it possible that you can make a bug out of this describing the issue and marking it as wishlist? because questions are never part of releases.

Cheers

Sharoon
