[Openerp-community] Odoo License restriction?
Some time ago I did some modules for another software based on code taken from OpenERP v7.0 and those modules was accepted to be part of the software core functionalities. The modules was developed to be able to send and receive emails via SMTP, POP3 and IMAP. My question are related to the license restriction that someone may have when the code from OpenERP/Odoo is used in a modified form to develop new features for another software. Odoo have the license: GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, Version 3, 19 November 2007 And the other software have LGPL license The software maintainer write me with concerns about the license interactions, and the news that the modules could not be integrated into the core without removing the OpenERP source code. Is there a way to allow someone to do this kind of develop based on OpenERP source code??

Re: [Openerp-community] Odoo License restriction?
That's helps a lot, thanks. My modules right now are apart from the core, the idea is to get integrated into the API ecosystem. They are tools to be used in an ESB environment to send and receive mails while developing web services. Right now they live as part as a module, so you said that if the module is licensed as AGPL 3, then it can be used as a dependency and the rest of the software could remains LGPL without get contaminated with the AGPL 3 restrictions?? On Wed, Jul 9, 2014 at 8:32 PM, Raphael Valyi rva...@gmail.com wrote: Hello Axel, this is probably correct: basically you cannot put AGPL v3 code (OpenERP/Odoo) along with LGPL code without distributing the combined work under the AGPL v3 (which is aggressively open source ad may not be inline with the philosophy of that LGPL software). open source sounds like just a simple word but there are very important licensing details. For instance if you heard about the Oracle vs Google case, both software were open source, Java was GPL and Google developed Dalvik under was Apache 2 because they didn't want to use GPL code OpenJDK in their phones. You see were it went... So yes, that may sounds boring but that's true. Not all open source projects have the same vision: GPL and AGPL have a copyleft vision where all derivative work should respect their initial license, that ensure for instance that any user can get access to the source code. That's very nice for the user, but sometimes that's not so nice for the editor business or just even the software production, that's why other licenses, such as LGPL instead allows making closed source software with their code to some extent. The following graph may help you to get an idea of how it works and how AGPL v3 seats as the most militant license here: http://timreview.ca/ojs/february11/february11_daffara1.png (and that's a choice that was made by OpenERP SA during 2009 as they moved from GPL to AGPL deliberately) Eventually you can take the AGPL code you extracted from OpenERP and wrap is in a small web service that you would publish as AGPL code and call that webservice from your LGPL code without contaminating it. It's the same thing as browsing Odoo with Internet Explorer doesn't force Microsoft to publish Internet Explorer closed source source code. So AGPL is cool because it prevents some big company to come and make a close version of Odoo and destroy the work of everybody from the community or even OpenERP SA and the freedom of their users, or even in the eventuality OpenERP SA would fail as a business and the founder wouldn't be the ones deciding for the software anymore. But while it's there to avoid such hijacking, you can still probably work around your use case with a proper architecture if you really need some Odoo features at some point in your project. In fact the hardest part of AGPL is probably the fact that nobody sells modules, so the ecosystem is a bit slower to develop, but the good part is that unlike something like Magento apps store, it's there to stay.

Re: [Openerp-community] Javascript JSON-RPC client for OpenERP
You should check the OpenERP WebClient JSON-RPC since it has an specific implementation to manipulate the payload, more specifically the uid of the session and the httpsession params to maintain the HttpSession in OpenERP server, you could look at instance.web.Session class in coresetup.js and in instance.web.JsonRPC at corelib.js who is the class that implements JsonRPC in the WebClient. All of this js files are located at /addons/web/static/src/js folder Hope this helps Cheers On Mon, Feb 24, 2014 at 11:23 AM, Daniel Reis dgr...@sapo.pt wrote: Hello all, I'm trying to build a WebApp proof-of-concept for OpenERP. It should be a offline-first, mobile-first app, and work independently from OpenERP's webclient. For my proof-of-concept I'll be using Boostrap and Backbone with LocalStorage. These components are already part of OpenERP's stack, and my research tells me they can meet my goals. Now, my missing piece is the communication with the OpenERP Server. I know I can use JSON-RPC, but I can't find any concise documentation on how to do it with Javascript. I may be missing something obvious, but my next step is going to dig into OpenERP web client libraries to figure that out. I want to get a working pure javascript example for reading and writing data for an OpenERP Model, using JSON-RPC to interact with the server. I would greatly appreciate some help from knowledgeable people that could . I promise to share the results.

Re: [Openerp-community] report_webkit future
The solutions to print reports based on HTML DOM combined with specific CSS rules have that drawback that notebook pages does not get displayed properly, is this resolved already? This must complete the solution to render reports based on HTML DOM. If this is resolved already using CSS rules, sorry my mistake.

Wouldn't it make more sense to compare jinja2 with qweb ? Comparing QWeb to Jinja2 is more accurate indeed. As you probably know, v8 will introduce a reporting engine based on QWeb templates that is also using wkthmltopdf to produce PDF reports [1] So you will basically have 2 alternatives to design custom HTML-based reports: - manual design of Jinja2 templates, with report_webkit - manual or wysiwyg design of QWeb templates (using the Website Builder) But both will be available for server-side PDF rendering using wkhtmltopdf (which has luckily been receiving some love and important features recently) I can see some benefit in using qweb to generate the underlying html since it would allow inheritance for report generation (stacking multiple reports on top of the same base templates) and reducing the number of templating languages to learn while developing with OpenERP. Yes, that's one of the points :-) But in the end if you want to print to pdf you will have to either use wkhtmltopdf or the browser's own ability to convert html to paginated format/layout and save or print the output. Currently though I'm not sure if qweb is used for generating the screen layout when you do a print (preview) from the browser. Most of the layout there is defined by the regular model view afaik. QWeb is the templating engine that renders the HTML output of any page, and it comes in two flavors: - When you access the back-end (the regular OpenERP web client since v6.1), the output is rendered client-side using the Javascript-based QWeb engine, automatically combining the QWeb templates of the web client widgets - When you access the front-end (plain web pages such as Website, Blogs, eCommerce, new in v8), the output is rendered server-side using the Python-based QWeb engine, by combining the relevant pages and templates And in both cases when you use the Print button of your browser the PDF result is produced by your browser itself [2], based on the current HTML DOM combined with specific CSS rules for printing. Server-side PDFs are only rendered when you call a specific report URL, such as the new /report/pdf route in Simon's branch [1]. [1] http://openerp-community.2306076.n4.nabble.com/Openerp- community-tests-feedbacks-for-the-new-reporting-tt4644385.html [2] Incidentally, if you are using Chrome, the underlying engine is almost the same as what wkhtmltopdf uses. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community Post to : openerp-community@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community Post to : openerp-community@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Re: [Openerp-community] Portal partner rule bug
Thanks a lot for your response, I solve this successfully thanks to you, I
create a domain rule that apply for read as portal does and apply only to
portal group, anonymous group still find their way into portal rule check
I just forgot that the domain rules for groups apply using OR
Thanks again

If an extension adds extra relationships towards users/partners on the
regular partner model, this extension should decide whether those related
records should be made available to portal users.
So it's not a bug, it's a configuration issue. By default the portal
module will only allow portal users to read their own partner data (i.e.
the partner that corresponds to their user). This is a security restriction
to prevent your customers from accessing the list of your other customers,
suppliers or employees. Otherwise they could do that by following
relationships on the screens, manipulating URLs or making direct RPC calls.
So if your extension wants to make the extra relationship data available
for portal users, it should simply add new ir.rule entries to permit this.
You should only disable the default portal security rule if you understand
what you are doing, or if you don't care about security at all.

The ir.rule of portal module portal_read_own_res_partner, have the

[('user_ids', 'in', user.id)]
To make all work like this rule tell your new many2one relations in
res.partner yould be expressed as user_ids of res.partner, that means that
those users cannot have another partner, they are users of this partner,
and that is not the case.
All works ok when the rule is disabled or deleted to not apply anymore on
res.partner.
Is this rule important for something more that Im missing?
