Currently partners have a boolean field to choose whether to receive
notifications only in their Odoo inbox or to receive them in their inbox
and by email. This leads to several issues :
* if a customer is configured to not receive emails he will not receive
any notification on sales orders, leads, ... This is not clearly
indicated to the salesman and it is not easy to know how to change
that behavior
* if an user chooses to receive emails and does not use its inbox a lot
of notifications stay in Odoo. The user has to manually set them as
done to make them disappear which is redundant.
This commit changes that behavior. From now on customers will always
receive all notifications by email. Indeed Odoo is not a customer oriented
mailbox. Moreover sales orders or discussions on leads send to customers
should always be sent by email as it is the standard communication
mechanism. Users will be able to choose to receive notifications in Odoo
or by email. The choice is no longer inbox or inbox + email, but inbox
or email. Choosing one option or the other one depends on the way the
user wants to work.
Technically the field is moved on the users model and selection keys
are renamed. Notification process is modified
* notified_partner_ids contains as before specified recipients as well
as followers matching the subtype
* customers and users working with emails are notified. During that
process customers notifications are marked as done to be able to
track the email state without having needaction. Users notifications
are currently deleted as we do not track their email state.
The removal of partner field implies changes in various addons that
define partner data with this field set in the values.
* mail_message.message_read() method is not used anymore since the chatter
refactoring in v9. message_format() is used instead. Tests for this method
are also removed, as they have no use anymore.
* mail_thread.message_set_read() is not used anymore. set_message_done is the
only method used by the new chatter as there is no read state anymore.
* removed an unused parameter in set_message_done, by the way
Main changes :
- mail.notification model is removed. People do not receive notifications
anymore. Instead two ways of following documents exist
- using a channel; messages will be displayed on the channel itself
in a near future commit
- following with its partner; messages will all be considered as
needaction, using a new m2m table. People should receive less
needaction messages by following less records by themselves.
There is no more read / unread state anymore. Instead only needaction
messages are considered. Todo (Favorites) messages still exist, and are
stores on a new m2m table instead of using decorated notifciations.
- the main filter for documents is not message_unread anymore, but
message_needaction. A lot of views and filters have been updated
accordingly.
- the vote feature has been removed
model has been renamed to mail.channel to prepare the slack modeling.
In future commits the mail.group model will be merged with the channel
model from im_chat. The first move is to rename mail.group into
mail.channel to have a model that will unite both features.
Some tests (e.g. mail) have expensive and significant DB setup for a
number of small and cheap tests. Using a TransactionCase, the DB setup
far dominates the tests themselves, by up to 10x (mail unit tests take
~130s on my machine, the tests themselves take ~15s).
The SavepointCase introduced here is an hybrid of SingleTransactionCase
and TransactionCase: it uses a single transaction for all tests in a
class, but each test case is isolated by a rollbacked savepoint. This
allows a common DB setup (via setUpClass) while keeping independent
tests.
TransactionCase should remain the primary test case superclass, but
SavepointCase can be a fair optimisation when setup costs far dominate.
This commit introduces a new view type, the timeline view. This view is
intended to display messages like the previous chatter. This is now a view
like the form or list view. Like other views it will be possible to have
custom templates for some specific needs, allowing customization.
[IMP] mail: the value tracking is modified. Previously messages were created
containing the modified values. Those values are now stored, using a new
model mail.tracking.value. The message body is dynamically build based on
the values. Tests have been updated.
This version is temporary. Indeed two main modifications will come in a short
future :
- the new design will improve the display
- the slack mode will change the way the Inbox and notifications are managed
All glory to the Hypnotoad.
Special thanks to Valerie Pirenne (vpi), Jerome Maes (jem) and Richat Mathot
(rim) that did not code but said a lot of things. Martin Trigaux (mat) did
nothing, a bit like for the slides modules, but he is busy sending emails.
Tests have been migrated to the new api to prepare the migration of the
mail module itself. Moreover tests have been cleaned: redundant tests
and unnecessary tests have been removed.
As the base test class in mail is used in other addons, other addons
have been updated :
- portal
- project
- portal_project
- website_project_issue
- sale
- purchase
Future commits will come with somes fixes for issues detected when cleaning
the tests.
A squashed merge is required as the conversion of the apiculture branch from
bzr to git was not correctly done. The git history contains irrelevant blobs
and commits. This branch brings a lot of changes and fixes, too many to list
exhaustively.
- New orm api, objects are now used instead of ids
- Environements to encapsulates cr uid context while maintaining backward compatibility
- Field compute attribute is a new object oriented way to define function fields
- Shared browse record cache
- New onchange protocol
- Optional copy flag on fields
- Documentation update
- Dead code cleanup
- Lots of fixes
Replaced some read by browse
Moved get_reply_to from mail_mail to mail_message
Hint: specifying email_from, reply_to help to enhance computation time
[REF] mail: cleaned some tests, renamed a file, moved mail_group tests into a dedicated file

IMP:
- mail.compose.message: added a context key 'mail_post_autofollow' that automatically subscribe the message recipients to the document followers, if any
- sale, purchase, invoice: recipients of 'Send by email' action are now automatically added as followers, using the above key
- mail: the Chatter widget on documents now sets the displayed messages as read
- mail: for incoming emails going through message_process that have an author, the author is added in the related document followers, if any
FIX:
- mail: attachments added in Chatter/Mailboxes were not added to the notifications emails send to followers/recipients
- portal: fixed various mail_mail created without specifying the type field, that could crash if a conflicting 'default_type' key was present in context (i.e. in opportunities)
