Just after we first added the library in Odoo (in april 2018), the
library was released in its last and deprecated version (4.0.0). At the
same time, the author indeed split its 'cropper' library into 2 parts:
'cropperjs' which is the core of the original library without jquery
and 'jquery-cropper' which is a jquery wrapper of the 'cropperjs'
library. This commit updates our code to use the latest version of those
two libraries.
Note: the commit also removes the lazy loading of the library which is
useless and maybe breaking since it comes with the editor assets which
are themself lazy loaded.
Note 2: we may want to remove the jquery wrapper in another update and
simply use the standard JS library.

This commit, unfortunately, mixes three things:
- Restoring as much as possible the scss organisation to allow styling
the web_editor UI properly.
- Fixing some bugs like a border around the page once the editor is
loaded, no ability to scroll the snippets, etc
- Introducing a whole new UI for snippet options: a left panel instead
of the old dropdown & button overlay.
Note: this commit also do some linting and ES6 convertion even though
some of it has been done in the parent commit.
Note 2: some elements that were removed are still styled in the POS apps
but this is because part of a feature was removed while leaving dead
code behind, this is handled in another PR which is to be merged

Related to task-1942370
Since we reverted the saas-12.2 editor in favor of the 12.0 one,
we faced a dilemna regarding how the editor iframe is handled in
mass_mailing.
The 12.0 version was using a special controller to get the website
assets required for mass_mailing while the saas-12.2 version used
a completely different mechanism that was, obviously, not handled
by the 12.0 version.
We did not want to reintroduce the old controllers who were
considered to be a hack to load the assets in the mass_mailing
iframe. However, we were very cautious about changing the editor
itself to avoid introducing new bugs in the editor core of 13.0.
The approach we chose at the end, is to use the loadAsset mechanism
introduced in saas-12.2 to load the necessary assets and inject them
in the mass_mailing iframe. This did not reintroduce the controllers
nor did it require to change the code of the editor itself. However,
it required moderate changes to the wysiwyg interface.

These modifications crystalize the behavior of the old editor, even
if it makes less sense than the behavior of the saas-12.2 one.
In some cases, the only reasonable adaptation we could do for 13.0
was to delete the tests, as these tests relied on mechanisms of
the newer version of summernote introduced in saas-12.2 which
cannot be easily replicated in the older version from 12.0 that
we are reintroducing in this PR.
It is sad to see these tests go, but we knew this was going to be
something we would lose in reverting back to the older editor.
That being said, since these tests were not present back in 12.0,
we are simply back to the 12.0 state of things, not worse. Don't
weep for them though, they will be back in Odoo 14.

This commit reverts the saas-12.2 editor by putting back the editor
of Odoo 12.
The saas-12.2 editor was an intermediate work between the previous
editor of Odoo 12 and the new one slated for Odoo 13. It was unstable
but it was supposed to be replaced by the new editor of version 13.
However, since the new editor has been postponed to Odoo 14, the
saas-12.2 one would have been staying in Odoo 13, which would have
been a nightmare to maintain. To avoid this outcome, we chose to
put back the 12.0 editor in its place.
This has the particular advantage that Odoo 13 will share the same
bugfixes as Odoo 12 and 11 as they all run under the same core
editor, while the saas-12.2 one would have been an entirely
different beast to maintain.
This is a partial revert of f2969923.

- We only had one popup for all websites. Now, we can have a different
popup for each website.
- The popup was not appearing on mobile/tablet devices. Now, in
mobile/tablet devices, the popup appears automatically after 5secs.
- Added the ability to customize the whole editor popup like any
editable area (background colors, etc).
- User needed to enable popup snippet from the settings. We removed that
setting so now popup snippet will always be available.
- Added new snippet "Newsletter block".
- Display notification after successful subscription the same way for

The goal is to give the user an opportunity to optimize his images before using
them.
For this we introduce a preview/configuration dialog after every image upload,
where appropriate default values are filled for the quality and resolution,
based on where the image is going to be used. Since this is not going to be
perfect all the time, we still allow the user to configure them, and we display
a preview to ease this process.
Indeed it is important for SEO and for usability in general that the images are
as light as possible in size.
Technically the original image is uploaded and saved first, and then it can be
optimized. This way the upload only happens once, and the preview can be
computed from the already saved image.

Issue: wysiwyg asset slow down the loading of the website, error

* Creating a new structure by transforming all the plugins in the
library using the odoo inheritance system. Plugins are easier to
implement with the AbstractPlugin to add Odoo behaviors.
* From now on, the methods of the library (in this case Summernote) can
no longer be called by other modules or files. Only the wysiwyg
widgets can access it, to simplify the updating process. The wysiwyg
object serves as an interface.
* Depending on the options the snippets will be loaded or not, the
editor will be in an iframe or not... all of this is transparent from
the outside.
* Regarding iframes, all controllers related to editing have been
removed: the new API no longer needs them. This speeds up loading,
eases testing and removes complexity for the same
features.
PUBLIC FEATURES
There are several public methods on the Wysiwyg class:
* Wysiwyg.prepare (WidgetParent): returns a deferred resolved when the
library (xml, lazy, assets...) is loaded.
* Wysiwyg.getRange (DOM): returns the range (selection in the dom)
* Wysiwyg.setRange (startNode, startOffset, endNode, endOffset): creates
a range (selection in the dom)
* Wysiwyg.setRangeFromNode (DOM, options) that creates a range from an
element (option available to select all, start or end)
A jQuery selector was added: :o_editable, which indicates whether the
current element is editable. That is, if it is contained in a tag with
the attribute 'contentEditable = "true"' or in a tag with the class
o_editable.
Several methods are also present:
* focusIn: makes a focus and places the cursor at the beginning of the
element
* focusInEnd: makes a focus and places the cursor at the end of the
element
* selectContent: makes a focus and selects the content
HTML FIELD
The HTML field can receive different options:
* style-inline: {boolean} transforms a class into an inline style when
saving and vice versa when reading.
* no-attachment: {boolean} prevents the use of attachments (in media
dialog)
* cssEdit: {xml_id} to use a template containing the css to loaded in
an iframe when editing
* cssReadonly: {xml_id} to use a template containing the css to load
into an iframe when viewing in readonly
* snippets: {xml_id} snippets template (can be used with or without
cssEdit)
* wrapper: {template} qweb static template (containing a tag:
id = "wrapper") that will include the content during editing (removed
on save)
MASS MAILING
A widget was created for mass mailing. There are now two fields:
body_html and body_arch.
body_arch contains the code with the class without conversion into
inline style, useful when editing and one with the inline style that is
visible in readonly mode and sent by email.
Advantage: no spreading errors, able to update css/theme, able to do
more changes when converting to inline style so that a maximum of mail
clients have an impeccable rendering.

Commit https://github.com/odoo/odoo/commit/52ec536cef2ec84af0b36746f19a8cdf9f23fe2a
made a mistake which made the backend use the website colors. This is
because the web_editor app adds its bootstrap_overridden.scss file in
both backend and frontend assets as the backend needs the editor colors
(alpha, beta, ...). However, the 'primary', 'secondary', etc that the
backend customizes should not be overridden by the web_editor. Therefore
the file contained a hack to determine if it is the backend or not...
hack which did not work anymore with the new system the mentioned
commit implements.
Also some comments were not adapted correctly by the mentioned commit.

* portal, theme_bootswatch, web, web_editor, website
With less2sass and bs3tobs4 tasks, the assets structure was reviewed to
handle the specificities of both framework and to prepare for our next
odoo tasks. In particular, the assets_helpers and bootstrap overrides
were basically split into 4 parts: utils, primary variables, secondary
variables and bootstrap variables.
(see https://github.com/odoo/odoo/commit/6e4db7d13a926845bf82f5b035afede42d6d5a89)
Using the !default system for the bootstrap variables parts seems now
a good improvement. This is part of what this commit does: adding the
default flag for all bootstrap variables overrides and inverting the
order of the files in the _assets_backend_helpers and
_assets_frontend_helpers templates. This allows to avoid code like this:
portal:
```
$body-bg: white;
```
website:
```
@if $var != null {
$body-bg: $var;
}
```
This code makes the body white with portal or equal to $var with website
if $var has a value. The same behavior in the new file order is achieved
with:
website:
```
$body-bg: $var !default;
```
portal:
```
$body-bg: white !default;
```
This order is now also followed for the _assets_secondary_variables
templates (there are only a few).
This commit also make better assets hierarchy by making website inherit
from portal assets (instead of web) and portal inherit from web_editor
assets (instead of web) (thus relying on strong dependencies instead of
installation order which is not always right for migrated databases).

What was designed as a new feature appeared as a regression: users were
not able to choose a bootstrap gray as a background color anymore but
instead got the possibiility to choose a hardcoded gray. This commit
restores the use of the custom gray palette that themes can customize
and which automatically uses the correct text color when used as a
background. This also allows to remove ugly inline style from snippet
definitions and allows to solve bugs like the described below one:
---------------------------------------
Also add bg-* classes on snippet cards:
---------------------------------------
Snippet cards are often put (or may be put by the user) in an element
which have a bg-* class on it. This means that the card will still have
a white background (as chosen by BS4 by default) but the text color will
be adapted to that ancestor bg-* classed element.
This commit forces the card background color (as suggested by BS4) with
bg-* classes.

Rev. 2f7c03d added a second admin user (id 2), the 'human' one, on
top of the 'technical' one (id 1, also known as the superuser).
Basically, all calls to _is_superuser() should have been changed to
_is_admin(). They weren't. As a consequence, some features that
were previously available for the admin weren't anymore (e.g.
tours).
This rev. replaces all calls to _is_superuser() by calls to
_is_admin().
* web, website
- Introduce gray color palettes (needed for themes migration)
- Synchronize BS4 color maps with individual variables (see comments
about this in the code).
- Review alpha/primary, beta/secondary matching:
Before this commit, we decided that the common way to define a color
palette was defining primary, secondary, gamma, delta and epsilon.
alpha and beta were then forced to primary and secondary without other
possibility.
The new system makes more sense:
1) define alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon
2) primary and secondary will automatically be set to your alpha and
beta (allowing to style the default UI with BS4-independant
variables)
3) if you are not happy with (2), you can define primary / secondary
in your color palette so that they are not automatically set to
alpha / beta
This commit also changes what classes the editor uses. Background colors
and text colors will now use alpha/beta/gamma/delta/epsilon (not primary
and secondary anymore). For buttons, all the possibilities are suggested
but color duplicates are hidden (so if your primary and alpha are equal,
only one button color is suggested).

The purpose of this task is to make the customize dialog as generic as
possible, that is theme-independant:
1) The design is now totally generic (Odoo visuals)
2) The XML definition is form-view like. This allows themes to extend
the dialog without any risk of breaking the style and also allows to
not care about lots of technical details.
3) New options have been included. Those were themes options that are
now generic and which themes can simply adapt without touching the
customize modal (navbar colors, footer color, navbar layout, fonts,
body background, ...).
The color palette can now also be customized with user colors.
Using sass functionnalities, color palettes and fonts integration is now
a lot better.

Unlike LESS, SCSS variables are not lazy loaded. Our system has thus
to be updated. This commit creates new templates which are t-called
in assets bundles (to replace the old less_helpers template):
- web._assets_utils: regroups the mixins and functions which *can*
(and so should) be available in every asset bundle
- web._assets_primary_variables: regroups the variables (or mixins
used as variables) which *can* (and so should) be available in
every asset bundle
- web._assets_secondary_variables: same as above but provides an
environnement where all the 'primary' ones are accessible. This is
for example useful to handle the community/enterprise split:
// Community primary variables
$o-pink-color: pink; // enterprise color
$o-brand-primary: blue;
// Enterprise primary variables
$o-brand-primary: $o-pink-color;
// Community secondary variables
$o-my-darker-primary: darken($o-brand-primary, 5%);
=> If there was only one variable template, enterprise edition would
have been able to define its primary color at the end but the
darker primary would not have been updated. Using the "!default"
system and putting enterprise definition above would not have
solved the problem as the $o-pink-color would not have been
accessible.
- web._assets_backend_helpers: regroups the variables, mixins and
functions which *can* (and so should) be available in the backend
asset bundle only. This is especially (only?) useful for bootstrap
variables overriddes.
- web._assets_frontend_helpers: regroups the variables, mixins and
functions which *can* (and so should) be available in the frontend
asset bundle only. This is especially (only?) useful for bootstrap
variables overriddes.
Note: bootstrap variables are not accessible in any of those anymore.
If you have variables that should depend on bootstrap, you have 3
solutions:
- Find another way: your variable is probably useless, use bootstrap
variables directly or create a variable that will influence the
value of bootstrap variables. E.g. instead of declaring:
`$myvar: $bootstrapvar * 3`
and using $myvar alone, declare:
`$myvar: 3` and use `$myvar * $bootstrapvar` where needed.
- Declare a copy of the bootstrap variable and use that one. In that
case, you should also force-set the real bootstrap one to be sure
they match (this should be done in appropriate templates mentioned
above). E.g.
```
$o-boostrapvar: 5;
...
$boostrapvar: $o-bootstrapvar;
```
- Set your variable to null and set it to your bootstrap expression
in the file you will need it (where bootstrap variables are accessible)
without forgetting to add the !default flag to allow overriddes.
```
$myvar: null;
...
$myvar: $bootstrapvar * 5 !default;
```
This commit also partly changes the variable names to follow the
convention:
$o-<app_id>-<name> where 'app_id' is the current's app name or a
meaningful unique identifier ("theme" for all themes for example, as
no multiple themes can be installed).
Summernote is using LESS and no SCSS version exists (at least
officially). As summernote is meant to be replaced in the future and
that the LESS file was already overridden directly by Odoo, this
commit converts the LESS file to CSS once and for all.
This rev. introduces a new test suite meant to test the webclient
components on mobile devices. The key 'config.device.isMobile' is
forced to true in this test suite, so that mobile specific JS files
are properly executed, which isn't the case in the classic JS test
suite (setting isMobile to true in the test definition is too late,
as the JS files are already processed).
For now, this new test suite contains a single test, which was
skipped until this rev. as it couldn't be executed in the classical
JS test suite.
Both suites are executed at each build of the runbot, and they
can be manually executed from the webclient as well (via the debug
manager).

This commit reviews the whole "JS side" of the web_editor and website
apps. This is a first step to be able to improve them with new and
better functionnalities; this commit is not supposed to change any
visual behavior.
The main goal was to achieve a structure similar to the backend one.
Now, the frontend side also has a root widget (like the WebClient)
and all other widgets are attached to it one way or another. This allows
the benefits of using the 'trigger_up' functionnality for example.
As RPC are now mainly done with the `this._rpc` functionnality (being
possible thanks to the parent hierarchy), the frontend will also be
possible to test thanks to QUnit in a future update (besides the "text"
editor side which still requires a refactoring to be able to do that).
---
Here are some of the changes:
(-) conventions and documentation
The code has been updated to follow JS conventions and a lot of code has
been commented (around +2000 lines of comment). This also means that
lots of functions have been renamed to use camelCase or simply to make
their name understandable.
See https://github.com/odoo/odoo/wiki/Javascript-coding-guidelines.
(-) deprecated: web_editor.base
The "web_editor.base" module has been split and does not force the
modules which require it to wait for DOM ready anymore. This was indeed
slowing loading times, but also prevented to use some modules in some
contexts (see the LESS editor use in web_studio which is the subject of
another task).
Now the "editor context" can be got thanks to the "web_editor.context"
JS module with its "get" function.
The "web_editor.base" module should probably not be used anymore (see
its code and recent updates).
(-) new: web.dom_ready
If a JS module should wait for the DOM to be ready to be executed, a
new JS module has been created: "web.dom_ready". This should always
be used in a module which only want to instantiate stuff. Do not
extend (or worst, include) classes after DOM ready.
(-) website.website
The "website.website" module has been split. "website.website" does not
return anything useful anymore, it just initialize some miscellaneous
stuff, without waiting for the DOM to be ready. You might want to check
"website.utils", "website.content.compatibility" or `WebsiteRoot`. Also
`website.form` has been deleted (use `this._rpc`), so has been
`website.error`. `website.prompt` will be removed in a future update to
be replaced by `Dialog.prompt`.
(-) widgets are great
Many classes which were not widgets are now widgets. This allows them to
use the 'events', the 'xmlDependencies' and the 'this._rpc' features for
example. Here are some of the main ones:
- Snippet options: these were classes with a `$el` for the menu element
and `$target` for the customized element. This is still the case
but following standard `Widget` structure (one exception: using
`this.$(...)` searches in the `$target` as before this update).
- Snippet animations: instead of class instances with a `$target`
element which can be `start` and `stop`, these are now standard
widgets which can be `start` and `destroy`. `this.$target` is
an alias to `this.$el` for ease of compatibility.
- Snippet editors: instead of class instances in charge of an editor
overlay, these are now widgets. Each "child" snippet editor is
properly attached as a "child", which allows editors to communicate
and to be properly destroyed.
(-) root widgets and website navbar
The frontend is different of the backend. In the backend, the page has
an empty <body/> element and all the components are instantiated from
parent to children (i.e. the `WebClient` is instantiated and is in
charge of instantiating the `ControlPanel`, etc). The frontend cannot
work like that on page loadings as they are way more frequent than in
the backend and we do not want them to flicker. A frontend page is
loaded as a <body/> element which already contains the website navbar
and its menus and the whole content page. JS code has to be "attached"
to these existing elements. This is possible thanks to the `RootWidget`
instances and the specialized `WebsiteRoot`, `IframeRoot` and
`WebsiteNavbar` (see code for details).
(-) lazy loading
No more (or at least a lot less) XML/JS has to be loaded on page
loading, thanks to the use of the `Widget.xmlDependencies` feature.
XML which have to be lazy loaded is loaded only on related Widget
instantiation if necessary, which allows to execute a lot of JS code
before the DOM is ready and to start many widgets on DOM ready (not
later). A visual benefit of this is clicking on the 'edit' button as
soon as it is possible: before this commit, this was sometimes not
doing anything as event handlers were not binded yet.
Still a possible exception: loading the session and locales. This may
be asynchronous stuff which is still required before widget
instantiations but this will be the subject of another task.
(-) deprecated code and code location
More than reviewing code and organizing it, many apparent dead code was
removed. More importantly, mislocated code was put in the right app.
This is the case for snippet animations which is a concept for website
apps but was defined in the web_editor app, or some translation concepts
which were part of website but should have been part of web_editor.

There are probably more things to say about this commit but I will let
the comments speak for those.
Before this commit, the session object was responsible for loading the
translations in the backend only. There was then ugly code in web_editor
(which is also loaded in backend...) which was doing "if frontend then
load translations by myself". This code was also translating templates
while this is the qweb object's job. Now session is always responsible
for loading translation.
Note: the session object should be refactored/split.
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
Commit 933949085d added the odoo variable
definition in the iframe template so the condition which checked if
odoo.define is available had to be adapted.
These colors were usually hardcoded in some snippets (.s_banner for
example) to increase text legibility over background images.
This commit will let the user personalize them.
Previous implementation allowed to run tour as a non-superuser but
this was only working in the backend where the static file tip.xml
is always loaded. In the frontend or in other non-backend context,
this file has to be loaded just before trying to launch the tour as
a non superuser (indeed, previous implementation loaded the file in
the frontend only if the user is a superuser).
* web_editor, website, mass_mailing
This menu allowed to scroll to the snippets sections by clicking on
their corresponding icons. It was useless as the sections are not
taking a lot of height. This also appeared buggy as clicking on the
last icon highlighted only the second one as this second one was still
the first section visible on the screen when the last section was
fully visible.
This also added fours buttons to the interface which contains already a
lot of them. Now this is replaced by a title "Add blocks" which makes
the editor cleaner and also improved the performance to enter the edit
mode.
