My task would be to seamlessly insert the custom webkit report in place of the standard one for multiple objects (sale.order, stock.picking.out, mrp.production etc)

The best way to do this would be to use the same id as the standard report thus overriding it and adding your webkit-related data to it.By doing this you ensure all actions, buttons, wizards which point to the original report will now point to yours and rid you of useless overriding of actions

The problem with this is that if you override the actual report instead of replacing the old one like I did, the webkit headers are not found anymore and the standard c2c one is used.This forces me to rename the original one and use the same report name in the newly created one

<report auto="False" 
        id="sale.report_sale_order" 
        model="sale.order" 
        name="sale.order.standard"
        rml="sale/report/sale_order.rml" 
        string="Quotation / Order"
        usage=""/>
    <report id="custom_webkit_quotation_report"
        auto="False"
        model="sale.order"
        name="sale.order"
        file="custom_reports/report/templates/report_quotation.mako"
        string="Quotation / Order"
        usage="default"
        report_type="webkit" />

This might also have to do with the parser and the parser name (Which cannot be overriden to my knowledge)

class report_quotation(report_sxw.rml_parse): def __init__(self, cr, uid, name, context): super(report_quotation, self).__init__(cr, uid, name, context=context) self.localcontext.update({ 'time': time, 'cr': cr, 'uid': uid, })

report_sxw.report_sxw('report.webkit.quotation', 'sale.order', 'addons/custom_reports/report/templates/report_quotation.mako', parser=report_quotation)

Ai takers on this one?

Thank you

Have you seen https://code.launchpad.net/~serpentcs/openobject-addons/7.0-webkit-reports

That does provide good insight, nonetheless it does not replace the report it just makes a new one default, hence the buttons launching the initial report by name will still trigger the old one.

Thank you for posting the link Ray!

One solution would be to remove the standard report before adding in your custom one with the same name:

 report_sxw.report_sxw.remove('report.sale.order')

Would like a more elegant solution, like updating it or something...but at least this works

EDIT:

A even better one is to edit the report in place:

   netsvc.Service._services['report.sale.order'].parser=custom_parser_class
   netsvc.Service._services['report.sale.order'].tmpl='addons/module/webkit_quotation.mako'

The only problem I have left is that the attachment is downloaded with the previous name, other than that it seems fine!
