This is very interesting, it basically means that you can read data from a COM-port and put that data into the database through the Tryton-client?. > > and if so, how can we execute a plugin-command from the client? > > The plugins appears in the action menu of the form. > The plugin can decide on which model to appear thanks to the > 'get_plugins(model)' method.

We are using a programm called NiceLabel to create a label with several variables and store it somewhere. Then we start the Tryton-client and select a set of products (first or in the "wizard") en click on "print". Then in the background (using Python) we start NiceLabel, open the created label en replace the variables with the data we get from Tryton-database. Next we print the label. It means that Tryton doesn't do anything with the label other then give the data for the label. > But indeed you may be interested by https://bugs.tryton.org/issue6999, I > think we will allow to customize the command to do direct printing.

So Tryton-report-engine cannot do anything with it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tryton-dev" group.
