The website frontend apps menu list is not working when the user has a
`Home Action` defined on his user.
The `Home Action` is meant to redirect to the defined action whenever
that user is login in.
But since the backend menu links on the website have most of the time
no `action` defined but just a `menu_id` defined, the `Home Action` will
kick in and take over the redirection, the same way as if the user just
type `/web` without any params.
To solve that, we simply force the `action` of those links (if they
don't already have one).
This will make sure that the redirect is working as it should for users
having a `Home Action` set.
Step to reproduce:
- Set a Home Action for any user, like "Contacts"
- Go to the website frontend, eg on `/`.
- Click on the top left button to show the backend app menus list
- Click on any menu (CRM, Invoicing, Calendar..)
-> Most of those menu will not redirect you were you are supposed to be
but on your Home Action instead.
You can figure which one will be buggy or not by just mouseovering
the link and see if the URL param `action` is set to something or
not.
--- Technical hints ---
There is multiple methods to get the list of menus in Odoo:
- `load_web_menus`: called by the web client rpc, calling `load_menus`.
If a top/app menu has no action defined on it, it sets the first found
action of their children menus to it.
It returns the full (flat) list of menus, not only the top/app ones.
This method is not ormcached but is calling an ormcached method and
just doing some tiny work on the data.
- `load_menus_root`: called only by website backend template to add the
app list on the website (in the frontend) to jump to the backend.
It does not force the action if a menu has no action set on it.
It returns only the top/app menus.
This method is ormcached.
Note that this method seems only used by the website module.
- `load_menus`: returns the full (flat) list of menus without a force
action
This method is ormcached.
