This module allows to add some selected filters as buttons in the header control panel.

Table of contents

.. contents:: :local:

Use Cases / Context

This developement is aimed to ease the filter access for touch screens users.

Configuration

To show a filter in the header of the views, it should have the a context attribute with the key shown_in_panel.

.. code:: xml

<filter string="My filter" name="my_filter" domain="[('active', '!=', False)]" context="{'shown_in_panel': True}"

This will show the filter in the header with its name. You can customize the button adding an icon or with a custom name passing an object to that key:

.. code:: python

{'shown_in_panel': {'icon': 'fa-thumbs-up', 'name': 'Ok'}}

You might be interested in leaving just the icon. In that case, set an empty string on the name property:

.. code:: python

{'shown_in_panel': {'icon': 'fa-thumbs-up', 'name': ''}}

You could also want to add a hotkey. In such case add the hotkey property:

.. code:: python

{'shown_in_panel': {'icon': 'fa-thumbs-up', 'hotkey': 'F'}}

You can show filter, groups or even favorites.

Usage

There's a demo implementation in Apps and you can play around following the Configure section.

Known issues / Roadmap

• Group filters by kind
• As we use the context attribute, the inheritance could be limiting in some cases. Keep it in mind or use base_view_inheritance_extension if you want to use proper context inheritance.
• Another nice to have would be to be able to hide the filters in the filter list to be able to show them just in the header, although there's not a straigh forward way to do it and it could lead to side effects.
