how to send email programmatically in odoo

In this blog we will explain how to send email programmatically in odoo

First : we have to create our email template just as bellow  

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<odoo>
    <data noupdate="1">
        <record id="email_template_id" model="mail.template">
            <field name="name">Custom_Email_Template</field>
            <field name="model_id" ref="module_name.model_your_model_name"/>
            <field name="email_from">iap@odoo.com</field>
            <field name="partner_to">${object.partner_id.id}</field>
            <field name="subject">${object.company_id.name}</field>
            <field name="body_html" type="html">
                <div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
                    Email body
                </div>
            </field>
        </record>
    </data>
</odoo>

Second : create the python function that will send the email

def action_mail_send(self):
        template_id = self.env['mail.template'].search([('name', '=', 'Custom_Email_Template')])

        ctx = {
            'default_model': 'model_name',
            'default_res_id': record_id,
            'default_use_template': bool(template_id.id),
            'default_template_id': template_id.id,
            'default_composition_mode': 'comment',
            'mark_so_as_sent': True,
            'custom_layout': "mail.mail_notification_paynow",
            'proforma': self.env.context.get('proforma', False),
            'force_email': True,
            'default_check_value': True,
            'default_is_log': True,
        }
        self.env['mail.compose.message'].with_context()._action_send_mail()

 

The above code works for odoo 16 & 15 but in case we are work on odoo 14 we can use the code bellow

template_id = self.env.ref('hr_recruitment.email_template_data_applicant_congratulations')
        template_id.send_mail(self.id, force_send=True)

domain many2many fields in odoo 14

In this blog we will explain how to set domain many2many fields in Odoo 14

So let us say that we have four models (restaurants model, food category model, food model and orders model) the restaurant contains many categories, the category can contain many foods , as bellow 

 

class restaurants(models.Model):
    _name = "res.restaurants"
    category_ids = fields.Many2many('res.category', string="categories") 

 

class Foods(models.Model):
    _name = "res.foods"
    category_id = fields.Many2one('res.category', string="Category")

class Orders(models.Model):
    _name = "res.orders"
    restaurant_id = fields.Many2one('res.restaurants', string="Restaurant")
    foods_ids = fields.Many2many('res.foods', string="Foods")

To create order the user must select the restaurant then select foods , but the system must show the food with category_id in  order.restaurant_id.category_ids

So we can do it by creating function in order model called on-change restaurant_id and this function will set the domain for foods , just as bellow

 

@api.onchange('restaurant_id')
    def _set_foods_domain(self):
        res = {}
        if self.restaurant_id:
            ids_lis = []
            food_ids = self.env['res.foods'].search([])
            for food_id in self.category_ids:
                if food_id.id in self.restaurant_id.mapped("category_ids").ids:
                    ids_lis.append(food_id.id)
            res['domain'] = {'food_ids': [('id', 'in', ids_lis)]}
        return res

ValueError: odoo.addons.web.__spec__ is None

 

I was trying to install Odoo 15 in Ubuntu 18.4, but when I was trying to run the odoo server I faced this error

 ValueError: odoo.addons.web.__spec__ is None

and to fix it just I run the command bellow 

sudo pip3 install Jinja2==2.10.1

 

amount in words in odoo 14

 

In this blog we will crate function to convert number amount to words in Odoo 14 

so the input of this function will be (amount as numbers, language code), and the output will be the amount as words , now let us create the function with the name amount_as_text()

def amount_as_text(self,amount,lang):
        text = _(str(self.currency_id.with_context(lang=lang).amount_to_text(amount)))
        return text

 

We can call the function in report templates with Arabic language as bellow

<t t-set="amount_text" t-value="o.amount_as_text(o.amount_total,'ar_001')"/>
