Autocreate project on order ?

Asked by Jonathan Liuti

Is there a way to autocreate a project based on a sale order confirmation ?

I know how to generate tasks based on the order, but no project is created.

Does it have to be done in workflows or something ?

Creating the project by hand wouldn't be a problem if there was a way to assign multiple task to one project from list view, but afaik it's not possible. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks,
John.

Just to let people know:

After struggling with the server_action 'create_object' without success..
( I managed to create the project with this but it was duplicated and all in all i had a hard time figuring out how the chaining between action occured...), I finally achieved what i wanted with the following python code used in the sale_order_basic workflow (right after the router):

project = self.pool.get('project.project')
new_project_id = project.create(cr, uid, {
    'name': obj.name + "-" + obj.partner_id.name + "-" + obj.date_confirm,
    'partner_id': obj.partner_id.id,
    'contact_id': obj.partner_invoice_id.id,
    })
task_obj = self.pool.get('project.task')
task_ids = task_obj.search(cr, uid, [('name', 'like', obj.name)])
for task_id in task_ids:
    task_obj.write(cr, uid, [task_id], {'project_id': new_project_id})

It could offcourse be improved by assigning task to people and so on, but for now i'm happy with this.
Hope this can help someone around.

I may release a module later on to ease the process by the way.
