Has anybody used openERP/ odoo for printing invoices via XML-RPC. I've been trying to create an xml rpc method for printing with no success.
function printInvoice($values,$model){
$print = new xmlrpc_client($this->server."report");
$print->return_type = 'phpvals';
foreach($values as $k=>$v){
$nval[$k] = new xmlrpcval( $v, xmlrpc_get_type($v) );
}
$msg = new xmlrpcmsg('report');
$msg->addParam(new xmlrpcval($this->database, "string"));
$msg->addParam(new xmlrpcval($this->uid, "int"));
$msg->addParam(new xmlrpcval($this->password, "string"));
$msg->addParam(new xmlrpcval($model, "string"));
$msg->addParam(new xmlrpcval("report", "string"));
$msg->addParam(new xmlrpcval(87, "int"));
$msg->addParam(new xmlrpcval($nval,"struct"));
$resp = $print->send($msg);
if ($resp->faultCode())
return $resp->faultString();
else
return $resp->value();
}
this is the code that I have so far, first of all i want to generate a report and then print it.
I figured it out a simple way to do it, you just pass the id of invoice or order in the links and this dynamically creates a pdf for the report, or instead of the pdf you can use 'html' which generates an html ready for print for the invoice like this:
http://serverurl:port/report/html/account.report_invoice/(id of invoice);
Here is the code if it helps someone.
function printInvoice($id,$type){
if($type == 'invoice')
{
return "http://serverurl:port/report/pdf/account.report_invoice/".$id;
}
else if($type == 'order')
{
return "http://serverurl:port/report/pdf/sale.report_saleorder/".$id;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
