[trunk] clicking on address book from main screen creates error

[Ruud Riem-Vis]

Clicking on the "address book" button on the main screen (to the left of the calendar button) creates the following error :

Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: Couldn't find tag '<field name="lang">' in parent view !

The installation has 3 languages installed and the administrator's default language is french.

Hello,

I get same error with GTK client also.
So may be its related to server/addons problem.

Thanks.

Hi Ruud,

Would you please enlist the module you have installed?
I guess, its base_contact doing the mess.
Thanks.

@Jay
Please make sure that the base_contact module integrates well
I think there are some issues left when other modules are using partner.address and are not aware of the changes made by base_contact
I suggest that the unused data fields are replaced by function fields fetching the "best guess" contact (lowest sequence or id number)
Many references to address + contact must be replaced by references to contact which is not done.

Hello Ruud Riem-Vis,

     It has been fixed by revision 4917 <email address hidden>

Thanks for pointing out the issue.

I agree Dr. Ferdinand.

But, this case was for crm where it depended on lang field and it was removed from base. However, it has been fixed now.

But, the Base_contact is a best(isn't it?) example which shows how different modules depending on same module,modulating on same field may fail when installed altogether.

Base_XXX and base_YYY depend on base,out of which one module removes a field and another re-uses it may fail as a result of unavailibility of it.

Here, the order of installation is also plays an important part.

Thanks.
