Description
'zb_task_emails' is an extention of the openerp module 'project'. It automates the email notifications related to a particular task. E-mails are sent using the module 'smtpclient'. An email is sent during the following occasions.
Start Task : During the button action an e-mail is sent to the Assigned User. Copy to Project Manager
Done : When a task is completed , e-mail sent to Project Manager. Copy to Assigned User
Reactivate : On reactivating a task, e-mail sent to the Assigned User. Copy to Project Manager
Pending : When a task is set to pending state, e-mail is sent to Project Manager. Copy to Assigned User
Cancel: When a task is cancelled, e-mail is sent to Project Manager. Copy to Assigned User
Task Description Changes: When the description of a task is changed, e-mail is sent to the Assigned User. Copy to Project Manager
Task work entered or updated : When the users enter or modify work detials, e-mail is sent to Project Manager. Copy to Assigned User
Task reassigned : When the task is handed over to another user, e-mail is sent to the newly Assigned User. Copy to Project Manager
Ending date crossed : if a task has no entries in its 'Task Work', even after the ending date of the task, a warning mail is sent to Project Manager. Copy to Assigned User
Employee
Tasks are assigned to users in OpenERP. A user must be an employee to receive e-mail notification. So Create employess and relate them to users. Provide e-mail id in the 'Work E-mail' field of the employee. Automated task e-mails are sent to that particular email id. If an employee doesn't have a 'Work E-mail' , he won't receive notification emails for the tasks he belongs to.
SMTP Server
Menu : 'Administration/Configuration/Sendmail Services/SMTP Servers'.
Create a new server with 'type' = 'task' (The field will be available only if the module 'zb_task_emails' is installed). You may check the following link to configure the server easily http://zbeanztech.com/?q=blog/sending-emails-openerp-using-module-smtpclient
Email Templates
Menu : 'Administration/Configuration/Sendmail Services/Email Templates'.
Here we define the body of each type of emails with the help of merge fields. The OpenERP fields and corresponding merge fields are mentioned at the bottom of the form. We can define 9 'types' of template, like 'Task', 'Task(Completed)', etc.. You can't have more than one template of the same type. OpenERP will automatically choose the email body from any of these templates and send the the email, based on the action committed by the user.

Task Warning Scheduler
Menu :'Administration/Configuration/Scheduler/Scheduled Actions'.
The scheduler checks the 'ending date' of all the tasks in state - 'In Progress', during every pre-defined interval. If the 'Task work' of any of these tasks are found to be empty, in one hour after the scheduled ending time, an email is sent to Project Manager and copy to Assigned User.

Para solucionar el tema de la concurrencia, hay que pasarle un entero y no una lista al write del padre, verifiquen esto en la linea del project.py
la seguna lina cambia agregando el [0] al ids

# if type(ids) == type(1):

ids = [ids]
if len(ids) <> 1:
return super(task, self).write(cr, uid, ids, vals, context)
else:
# Controlo que el contexto sea un diccionario y no una tupla, esto pasa cuando cambiamos de estado, NO SE POR QUE pero esto lo soluciona.
if type(context) is tuple:
context = context[0]

Hello,
Your module is really great, but I have problems with sending mail at the change of status.
The mails are sent only at opening and reopening of the activity.

Thank you and good job.
