Jinja as a templating engine was problematic in differents respect:
- introduce external dependency to Odoo (less controll)
- add another templating mechanism in the stack
- specific feature in qweb cannot be reused
- difficulty in rendering easily editable templates
- more knowledge required with no betterment
By replacing jinja with qweb we can now build tools to edit a qweb
that will work with the previously jinja encoded document
(essentially `mail.template` records).
There is a catch however. Some email fields (eg. email_to) used jinja
syntax for rendering dynamic variables (ie. ${object.something} and
${object.something_that_should_not_be_escaped | safe}).
We still want user to use dynamic variables for some char fields (eg.
subject, from, to, ...). We made a new rendering engine called
"inline_template" that will render an expression enclosed by `{{` and
`}}`.
To be able to edit the templates from the backend interface, a
plugin to the Odoo editor has been made for seamlessly edit the
document.
This qweb plugin includes:
- make dynamic variables (eg. `<t t-out="variable"/>`) not editable
(for preventing the user to shoot himself in the foot)
- group and hide related logical branching (ie. t-if, t-elif, and t-else)
in order to see only one at once
- a floating select input to switch visibility of a particular logical
branching

X-original-commit: odoo/odoo@68182baff4
Part-of: odoo/odoo#77377
Propagate reply_to radio keys (update and new) to mass mailing in order to have
a coherent naming (was thread and email). This naming is also coherent with
gateway naming (message_update and message_new).

PURPOSE
This commit removes the mass_mailing.campaign model. Instead of having a fully
fledged model, we will simply inherit utm.campaign. We will also add relevant
statistics on utm campaign model in order to use it in various applications.
SPECIFICATIONS
This commit removes the mass_mailing.campaign model. Instead of having a fully
fledged model, we will simply inherit utm.campaign. This change implies that
mass_mailing.tag and mass_mailing.stage have to move to the utm model along
their associated views/data.
These changes were made so that campaigns could be used in the future
by social, mass_mailing and mass_sms and available in the same view
This commit also removes the source_id and the medium_id
fields on the campaign.
This commit also moves the unique_ab_testing field from the mass_mailing_campaign
to the mass_mailing model
Task ID: 2002029
PR: #34015
PURPOSE
Mass mailing is currently a bit messy. As SMS will be added as a way to notify
people in mass through SMS let us take this opportunity to somehow clean this
application: organization, light code cleaning, model renaming.
SPECIFICATIONS
Rename mail.mass_mailing model to mailing.mailing. Rationale :
* mailing is now a prefix for mass mailing models;
* mailing.mailing is easier to read / find / understand;
Note that mail.mass_mailing.campaign is not updated as it is likely to be
removed soon and replaced by simple utm.campaign model.
MIGRATION
mail.mass_mailing model -> mailing.mailing
mail_mass_mailing table -> mailing_mailing

SPECIFICATIONS
Fix UTM management and propagation in mass mailing.
Right UTM definition in mass mailing
* mass mailing campaign -> utm.campaign
* mass mailing -> utm.source
* "email" -> utm.medium
Therefore
* remove campaign setting source and medium as each mailing is a source
and medium is "email";
* ensure each mailing is a separate source (otherwise name is shared);
* ensure UTM values propagate to link creation are those values and not
the one coming from the mass mailing campaign;

PR #34938
Purpose of this task is to allow marketing people to differentiate the
mailing name (internal reference) from the subject used in the mailing
emails.
Mailing name is actually the UTM source name as mass mailing inherits
from it. Being able to edit it independently from the subject allows
to better categorize / filter mailings without sending technical terms
to customers. Marketing users could also change and tweak mailing subject
without disorganizing the pipe and changing the URM source name.
Demo data are updated accordingly to have both subject and mailing
names.
This commit is linked to task ID 1917602 and PR #29514.
Purpose: better showcase the integration between email marketing and crm
application thanks to UTM links.
Specifications
* add 2 stat buttons to the mass mailing form;
* XX Leads -> redirects to lead list view (should include both types: leads
& opportunities), only visible if Leads are activated in CRM settings;
* YY Opportunities -> redirects to opportunities list view (only
opportunities);
* those stats buttons are linked to UTM trackers used in the mass mailing
itself: campaign, source and medium. Those can be configured notably using
the website_link module;
* display the stat buttons even if no data;
* update demo data;
