Purpose
=======
You install CRM but you don't see CRM icon (except in English, as long as sales is not installed) -> confusing

*board,crm
Before this rev., the dashboard panel (e.g. of the sales team
dashboard) wasn't displayed when there were no record to display,
whereas it should. Only the nocontent helper was displayed.
This was a bug introduced with the new view: the views' controller
was in charge to display the renderer (if there were data to
display) xor the nocontent helper. As the dashboard panel was
rendered by the renderer, it couldn't be displayed alongside the
nocontent helper.
This rev. moves this logic to the renderer. So now, the controller
always contains the renderer, which decides what to render (the
data or the nocontent helper). This way, the dashboards can display
their panel and the nocontent helper.
Since the new views merge, a lot of design elements were broken. This
was particularly impacting the fields in the editable list view; indeed
the editable list view is not using an inline form view anymore so the
fields in the list were not properly styled as the LESS was still
defined assuming the form view environment (for example the invalid
fields were red for o2m fields in form view but not in editable list
view even though they got the right CSS class).
This commit refactor the LESS following these rules:
- No more division of non-layout and layout rules. Dividing LESS rules
in x_layout.less and x.less was a mistake. Many rules can be
considered to be layout and not layout at the same time, developers
always have to switch from one file part to the other, many CSS
selectors (and rules!) are duplicated for nothing, ...
- Field style is extracted from x_view.less and put in the new
fields.less file. As before, the fields_extra.less will contain the
rules specific to community so that the enterprise repo can override
those by replacing the whole file.
- Many classes have been renamed so that o_form_x_y becomes o_x_y as
many classes can now be applied outside of form view. These classes
should not be used in templates anyway.
The commit also changes the DOM of fields so that it is more minimalist
(no useless parent div, etc).
Input elements are not automatically styled anymore, they have to get
the o_input class explicitely. This allows to fix lots of small style
bugs of previous versions (required monetary field had not the proper
style, readonly m2m tags appeared as editable, ...). This also improves
the LESS code.
The editable list view should also completely stop flickering on chrome
and firefox.
The commit also removes the orange outline on list view dirty cells.
The commit also removes deprecated static xml, LESS and other code.
Notice there are still styles to restore/fix and LESS to improve.
The RPC system was not completely satisfactory, we decided to prepare
the future and do it properly. This commit introduces the new rpc
system, which replace the previous new one. We now simply have a
method, this._rpc, which takes a dictionary of parameters. The idea is
that depending on the parameters, it is able to add correct default
value when necessary.
For situations where we don't have the this._rpc method, we can use the
rpc.query method, which takes the same arguments, but directly calls
ajax.rpc instead of triggering up some events.
With the new JS test framework, we had experimented with an autodestroy
feature, meaning that all views/widgets are automatically destroyed
after a while. By default, it was 50ms, because we could not hook some
code to run after the end of the current test.
For various reasons, this was not a good idea: some side effects, such
as modifications of the session or of the DOM (with modals) could
interfere with other tests. This commit disable the feature.
From now on, we will have to destroy each widgets created in a test.
This commit introduce a full redesign of all JS views. We started
basically from scratch. The goal was to unify all the various views
under a common framework, to make them testable, to make then usable in
different conditions (in studio, or in the frontend), and to make our
lives easier.
Some important points are:
- we introduced new coding guidelines (camelCase, 80 chars width, ...)
- we have a brand new testing framework (still QUnit based)
- kanban view moved to the web addon
- calendar view (formerly web_calender) moved to web as well
- the tree view was removed
- all new code should be documented
We hope that this code is the start of a new era for the Odoo web
client, we want to have a high quality codebase, well documented, well
tested, well designed.
Work done by the framework team: mostly aab, ged, chm, dmo, qsm
crm.lead model now supports activities. Filters have been added to ease
their management. Mail activities replace the old crm.activity model. All code
related to crm.activity is then removed, including views and custom widget.
Standard activities feature is now used widely in Odoo addons and replace
those custom activities.
A small update is required in website_crm_partner_assign. Now the portal user
can only update or create its own activities aka assigned to him. If he has
an activity assigned to him it is displayed in the opportunity website view.
If not editing the opportunity will create a new activity assigned to him.
* Share code between website and backend
* Do not do a [100ms - 500ms] RPC on each app change in the backend
but do it only if the planner is asked to be opened
* Use the Dialog class so that the planner is not broken
* Simplify/optimize code, use standard conventions, lint files, ...
Change color #a24689 to #875A7B
Commit https://github.com/odoo/enterprise/commit/8ac1c19fac7615fecd51e670f798d13158a4e53c
changed the odoo interface violet by changing the main LESS variable
but forgot there was many direct occurences in XML/HTML/... (for
example for the mobile browser color).
Even if it's community the odoo interface violet is used at many places
(module description, XML demo data, ...).
The step consisting to go back to the app switcher doesn't work in community,
obviously, so this commit make it active in enterprise only.
Also make the Settings app selector more robust by accessing it through its
xmlid, as we do for other apps and menus.
A new view type has been created : sales_dashboard.
It is used to display some figure in the sales_team_dashboard.
Also added in this commit : 3 fields on res.users to fix sales target
- target of won opportunities
- target of activities done
- target of invoiced sale orders
to define custom light workflows on opportunities.
Activities are linked to mail.message.subtype through inheritance.
This means that the follow mechanism works for activities. When
an activity is done, a message with the matching subtype is posted
on the opportunity.
Activities are internal by default. They are only visible by
employees.
A shortcut in the 'log a note' chatter option allows to post a
note linked to an activity (subtype).
- clean the planner style
- add specific class per planner crm (avoiding collisions)
- create .o_planner_white_box class used in all planners
- add planner for project module
This commit impact crm, website, website_sale and web_planner modules because it
- add planner for website and website_sale
- improve planner notebook by setting texterea and input size to 100% and using col-md-* class
- split js code into common part (used in backend and frontend) and backend part (only for backend)
- adapt some tour, since every page will have the planner modal in its DOM, the tour selectors msut be more accurate
- introduce some style fixes and adaptations
- ...
Planner is like web Tips : a data in a module.
- Rename planner.planner to web.planner
- Rename files according to guidelines
- Remove planner_crm module
- Make CRM depends on web_planner, and add its planner as crm data
- Remove duplicate less style
- Add 'active' boolean field on planner (to disabled them), and create planner backend views
Rebranding has been done in:
- data/demo files
- html templates
- help notices
- comments
- logger messages
- and other various messages
