AFC-1369 - upgrade partner links

[FredrikArvas]

Userstory: As a user, I want a link to a specific Jobseeker in the target-system

this module was developed in this Issue: https://github.com/08arvasi/odoo-af/issues/9

We now want a re-factoring to enable

• no need to link each partner to each link-card with the "server action"
• ability to display a dynamic content of the link (like customer ID or Social Security Number)

We think this can be achieved with JavaScript in the kanban-card.

Module name: odoo-af/contact_links Old module: https://github.com/vertelab/odoo-af/tree/Dev-12.0/contact_links

Test-steps: Start-image:

Install the module Enable "Link Admin" on the current user Got to Server Action -> "Update Link"-> "Create Contextual Action". Go to a Contact -> "Action" -> "Update link" Expected behavior = Visible links on a "link"-tab

Admin of links: Contacts -> Configuration -> LinkAdmin

Branch name: 12.0-AFC-1369-upgrade partner links

Description: This module changes the module to support dynamic links and to not need the linkning between res.partner and contact_link

[FredrikArvas]

Hi @FredrikArvas after careful examination, I have been able to make sure the Links show automatically without the update, but the dynamic content of the link, will have to update the link model once a contact is opened, but the links here, I really don't know where to add the customerID, see link example:

https://elin.arbetsformedlingen.se/elin/?PNR= https://www.arbetsformedlingen.se/For-arbetssokande/Valj-yrke/Intresseguide/ https://pisasso.arbetsformedlingen.se/cleartrust/iwa/ct_home.asp?CT_ORIG_URL=http://ivs.arbetsformedlingen.se/etjanst/planeringsverktyg/#/start/bedomning

So if it is not uniform, like adding the customerId to the end of the link or a defined place, it might be difficult.

See PR - #343

[FredrikArvas]

the current design has a three-part structure of the link. 1 First static part 2 middle dynamic part 3 Last static part. And these are then calculated to the "link"-field

Does this make any sense? Does it help?

[iammiracle]

I understand @FredrikArvas but this approach wont work. Here is what I think.

If you check sales order, the line items are always created every time a new SO is to be created and the SO line has a link with the SO. So I will propose that path.

The Links you have on Link Administration will still be there, but I will create another model that will link to the present links and will be create once a partner is to be opened or created, if the link for the partner already exist, it wont be created. Then the link computation will be made from this proposed new model.

Let me know what you think

[FredrikArvas]

Does it help to know that these links only will contain data from the res-partner-model? So the link and the "dynamic content" will be in the same place.

[iammiracle]

Yes. Correct

[FredrikArvas]

Did my answer solve your question so you can continue, or do you need something from me now?

[iammiracle]

Yeah, it does. I have updated the PR. It can now be tested

[FredrikArvas]

This module works as expected! Thanks a lot
