Adding Attributes to Kanban View Elements in Odoo 11

If you are working with Odoo 11 and need to enhance your kanban views, you might find yourself wanting to add attributes to existing elements. One common issue arises when trying to modify the oe_kanban_global_click class on the product.template kanban view, and many developers run into problems when their initial attempts do not work. In this guide, we'll walk through how to successfully add attributes to your kanban view elements using XPath expressions.

The Problem

When attempting to inherit the kanban view and add specific classes to elements, developers often use XPath expressions to target the correct nodes. However, it's not uncommon for these modifications to fail. Users commonly report that their intended changes do not reflect in the kanban view. Typical code snippets that miss the mark might look like this:

In both examples, the changes may not take effect as expected. Let's delve deeper into the solution for this.

The Solution

Step 1: Set the Class Attribute

When working with the kanban view, one effective method to ensure your attributes are correctly added is to set the existing class attribute to an empty string. This allows you to redefine it without collision or issues arising from pre-existing classes in the attribute.

Step 2: Use Proper Inheritance

To modify the kanban view, you need to inherit the appropriate model using the XML and include the necessary XPath expressions. Here is an example:

Key Components Explained

Inherit the View: The inherit_id refers to the original kanban view you are targeting. It's essential to ensure you are referencing the correct view.

XPath Expression: Using the XPath expression to target <div> elements specifically helps narrow down which part of the structure you want to modify.

Attributes Update: By setting the existing class to an empty string, followed by defining your own set of attributes, you maintain control over the final appearance of your element.

Conclusion

Modifying kanban views in Odoo 11 can be tricky, but with the right approach, you can easily add attributes that improve the functionality and aesthetics of your application. By following the steps outlined above, you'll be able to successfully update the oe_kanban_global_click class, ensuring a seamless integration of new styles based on your business logic.

Now you're ready to tackle your kanban modifications in Odoo 11 with confidence! Happy coding!
