Override python function in odoo

Question

I make some changes in the read_group function which is located in the odoo/server/openerp/models.

What I need now is to override this function in my own module. So I copy this function in the .py file of my module but this doesn't work for me. Can any one tell me how to do that?

Answer 1

Please find the example as below

from openerp import models
def read_group():
    #YOUR OVERRIDDEN Function

models.BaseModel.read_group = read_group

For New API and old API compatibility issue you can also use _register_hook as given in example on this link. https://stackoverflow.com/a/34854721/1451220
