Since 11.0, reports could not be edited at all anymore. This is due to
the fact the editor files were refactored but the report feature is not
correctly organized since it was merged with the 'web' app. Indeed, the
'web' app is still calling files and assets of the 'web_editor' app which
is not a dependency (but it is working as 'web_editor' is auto-installed
with 'web').

Closes https://github.com/odoo/odoo/issues/24034
Since report refactoring the function to override is get_report_values
that only returns a dict of value that are used in rendering.
In order to render a pdf with a landscape orientation, a context key could
be added however since it's not possible to return a report object in
get_report_values, it's difficult to add a contexti without using some tricks.
This commit add a report option to use in the template that will be used
in order to modify the pdf orientation. The process used was already existing
for other options like dpi,...
Purpose
=======
In python2 a binary field value is retrieved as a string. Example: company_id.logo = u'xyz'
In python3 a binary field value is retrieved as a binary. Example: company_id.logo = b'xyz'
When trying to render an image on a template, we should pass a stringified version of it.
Specification
=============
Pass the method to_text in the template rendering context and use it.
After the refactoring of the wkhtmltopdf engine, the headers/footers are managed in a very different way to be able to call wkhtmltopdf only once. The subst JS function must select the right header/footer corresponding to the current page company. However, a <div> was suppressed during the process and then, some external customization might be ignored (see github issue for more details).
-issue: https://github.com/odoo/odoo/issues/19544
This module adds required base code for a fully integrated customer
portal. It contains the base controller class and base templates.
Business addons will add their specific templates and controllers
to extend the customer portal.
This module contains most code coming from odoo v10 website_portal.
Purpose of this module is to allow the display of a customer portal
without having a dependency towards website edition and customization
capabilities.
Some CSS files used in frontend assets are already moved to have a
working portal skeleton. A is_public method on users is also added
as it will be used in various portal code soon.
The old behavior was to call wkhtmltopdf for each report and to put all of them together
using the merge_pdf method. It was a very slow approach because all report needs
5 temporary files, one subprocess and then, a merge.
The new behavior is to perform a single call to wkhtmltopdf by putting all the footers/headers
html together and so, avoid call to merge_pdf to greatly improve the performances of the reporting.
