I have a custom module called admission form with some fields suppose name, phone, email, etc. how to add this form to website module using templatr to work like contact form in contact us page when filled data is automatically created in new leads. instead of leads i want it to transfer the information to my custom module.

Summary: instruction to relate website to custom module. 

class AdmissionForm(models.Model):
     _name = 'admission.form'


     name = fields.Char()
     phone = fields.Integer()
     email = fields.Char()
     faculty = field.Many2one('res.faculty')

In ODOO Whenever you want to performe some task at the time of creation ,then you must override create method in your model (:admission.form).

Let say you want to create a partner just after creation of the record in admission.form model then follow these steps:

  1. Override create method .
  2. Call the super with the argument and hold it value in result.
  3. Now do your task .
  4. return result.

Code snippet:

    @api.model
    def create(self, vals):
    result = super(AdmissionForm, self).create(vals)
    new_vals = dict(name=result.name,
                    phone=result.phone,
                    email=result.email,
                    is_company=1,
                    supplier=1,
                    customer=1,
                    )
    self.env['res.partner'].create(new_vals)
    return result

In case if you want to do some task before creation of record then follow these steps:

  1. Override create method .
  2. Do your task .

  3. Call the super with the argument and return it.

    @api.model
def create(self, vals):
new_vals = dict(name=vals.get('name'),
                phone=vals.get('phone'),
                email=vals.get('email'),
                is_company=1,
                supplier=1,
                customer=1,
                )
partner=self.env['res.partner'].create(new_vals)
return super(AdmissionForm, self).create(vals)

  • @parakash sorry i edit my question but dont know why it revert back to old one. I want to add a form in website just like contact form in contact us page. When customer fill the form new lead is auto created – Omeed Totakhel Apr 15 '16 at 06:34
  • so create a template , put the form in side and set the url of your controller where you want to handle the data , Now on the controller you can access the model by request.env['admission.form'] , – Prakash Kumar Apr 15 '16 at 06:41
