Odoo made the bad choice of using the 'btn-sm' class for every button
instead of configuring the padding for default 'btn' to be smaller.
In BS4, the style of btn-sm is actually more complex, lowering the
font-size too. Also, btn-xs was removed so we would not have the
possibility to display smaller button than our default ones.
This commit removes btn-sm wherever it was used. Unfortunately, this
might remove it at some places where it made sense but this can be
restored in a second time.

Summary
----------------------
The purpose of this commit is to improve the JS code of the `mail` module.
It applies the new coding guidelines and makes some changes on the design
of some modules, such as the old ChatManager module.
Here is a short summary of the changes that have been made:
1. New coding guidelines
- snake_case to camelCase
- prefix private attributes and methods with '_'
- jsdoc on most methods
- one class per module
2. Rename/Merge some classes
- 'chat manager' becomes 'mail manager' (internal) and 'mail service' (external)
- 'chat window manager' is now included in mail manager
- 'thread' widget now named 'thread widget'
3. New model abstraction for mail objects:
- modules 'mail.model.*'
- modeling:
0..1 0..1 * *
ThreadWindow <------> Thread <-------> Message
/ \
/ \
Thread With Cache Document Thread
/ | \
/ | \
Mailbox Channel Support Channel
|
|
DM
- Thread: the superclass of threads.
- ThreadWindow: the window component of a thread.
- Message: mail objects representing messages.
- Thread With Cache: threads that can be used with search view (Discuss app compatible).
- Document Thread: represents the thread part of a chatter.
- Mailbox: represents what was previously called 'static' channel, e.g. 'Inbox'.
- Channel: mail objects representing channels, including livechat.
- DM: special kind of Channel for 1:1 communication in the backend.
- Support Channel: special channel for im_support module.
This new modeling approach let us easily add features on all threads, such as the
possibility to put any thread in a small window.
----------------------
Known issues
----------------------
[Already Present in Master]
1. When the Discuss app is in the background with 'Inbox' as the selected
Thread, when clicking on a document thread preview in the messaging menu
of the systray, the rainbow man appears.
2. When a document with the chatter is in the background, when receiving an
inbox notification from this document thread, the document thread is
automatically marked as read, which removes the notification right away.
3. Sometimes, opening a DM window from the "blank" thread window does not work.
4. Reply-to feature on Inbox is not working: no message is sent in the document
thread.
5. On the first login of admin user with demo data, the inbox counter is wrong
(it displays 6, instead of 3).
Explanation after investigation:
> On page load, it fetches the correct number of Inbox messages (3),
but the server notifies of 3 needaction messages right away,
so it wrongly assumes these are new needaction messages.
> Not possible for web client to detect that these messages should not
increment the Inbox counter while keeping same API.
6. Notifications for new document thread messages only work when the user sets
'handle with Odoo' for the Notification Management in the preferences.
> due to notifications on the longpoll bus for document thread
messages that come from needaction notifications.
> requires server-side changes to send notification on the longpoll
bus to mentionned user.
[New]
7. When receiving a message on a unjoined channel, thread window flickers
('open' > 'close' > 'open')
Explanation after investigation:
> JS logic:
a) On auto-join, ask server to join the channel and get channel infos.
b) The info tells the channel is not detached, but JS code makes decision
to detach it, and tells server the channel is now detached.
c) From (a), server notifies on longpoll bus the state of channel, which is
not detached. The web client thinks that the window state of the channel
has been changed somewhere else, and the channel is now closed.
d) From (b), server notifies on longpoll bus the state of channel, which is
detached. The web client opens the thread window of this channel.
> The flicker didn't occur before refactoring because the web client was only
updating the model of channel when it receives the longpoll notification.
> Server behaviour on 1st longpoll notification is necessary for cross-tab
synchronization for channel window state.
> New design implies that model and view should be synchronized, hence the
issue now.
> Solution: remove server-side thread window synchronization and replace with
client-side synchronization.

Hacks
----------------------
The module `im_livechat` now uses mail objects that are compatible with Message
and Window objects:
Modeling for messages:
AbstractMessage
/ \
/ \
LivechatMessage Message
- AbstractMessage: message compatible with the thread widget.
- LivechatMessage: message used by im_livechat.
- Message: message used with the mail manager.
Modeling for thread windows:
AbstractThreadWindow
/ \
/ \
LivechatWindow ThreadWindow
- AbstractThreadWindow: behaviour share between all types of thread windows.
- LivechatWindow: window used by im_livechat.
- ThreadWindow: window used with mail_manager.
The reason for these hacks are twofold:
1. Use the thread widget in the frontend and livechat external lib bundles.
2. Do not have a dependency with the mail manager in the frontend and external
lib bundles.
Purpose of this commit is to display today meetings in the systray. This will
help people in their daily job to have quickly access to their meetings.
It is displayed along with activities and reminders to have all current work
to do in the same place.
Displayed meetings are ongoing or not yet started ones of the current day.
All-day meetings of the current day are also shown. Done meetings are not
displayed to lessen noise.
Clicking on the systray will open the calendar view of meetings in a day
mode. This is done by a small modification in the calendar view allowing
to choose the display mode from context in addition to the mode attribute
of the action definition.
This commit is linked to task ID 60593. Closes#24438. Thanks to @ged-odoo
for quick reviewing.
If the option 'event_open_popup' is set to true, then the calendar view will open events (or records) in a FormViewDialog. Otherwise, it will open events in a new form view (with a do_action)
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
Since the new QWeb engine, `groups` directives on template
rendered in a route with auth=none is simply ignored, since
all is done as SUPERUSER_ID, it was impossible to instanciate
the webclient to check if the session is valid and to display
meeting info or redirect to event form view.
It seems that we don't want to fix this because routes auth=none
are rare, and special. So it is not considered as a bug.
The fix for calendar is, however, to do redirection or template
rendering server side.
Also:
- keeps unticked filters unticked when deleting a filter or adding a new one
- correctly tick filters when clicking on the partner's name (that code was
broken)
- remove reference to instance.web introduced by a forwardport
- wrong use of self in CalendarView's init()
When accepting/declining a calendar event invitation received by mail,
we landed on an empty gray webclient. The confirmation page had been
dropped with passage to new JS API / new calendar / new webclient.
Previous mechanism had been reimplemented: custom web client with event
information/confirmation if the user is not connected or redirection to
the event form view if the user is connected.
+ FIX manyattendeetag : the status circle did not turn red when an
user declined the invitation.
- Contact filters were dropped with the new design
- The 'me' filter was not working correctly (wrong colors)
- Remove some useless/unnecessary code
- Use new API confirm dialogs
- Convert CSS to LESS
for compatibility with the enterprise edition.
Also add type=button as the type attribute should always be specified for the
<button> element (different browsers may use different default types).
Improved calendar's favorite meeting list and added a input box to directly
insert the partner in favorite list and 'X' to remove the partner's name
from the favorite meeting list in calendar view.
