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

Before this patch, if you wrote newlines or more than a single whitespace character while sharing any document, in the note, those'd get collapsed in the final email.

This commit will improve the wording and the layout of the invitation
email sent to the users getting access to the portal. The signup link of
the email will now be a button that emphasizes the call-to-action.
We will also provide in the email another link that will allow the user
to access the login page. This commit will also improve the wording of a
placeholder in the portal backend.

PURPOSE
Clean organization of templates in odoo apps: mail.template records in data,
qweb templates (views) used directly in code, notably using post with view.
Purpose is to ease future improvements in posting based on templates.
SPECIFICATIONS
* move those templates in their own file to ease their discovering and
maintenance;
* put them into data (as those are not views even if it contains qweb)
* guidelines are now :
-> Qweb templates should be in data/mail_templates.xml;
-> mail.template records should be in data/mail_template_data.xml;
* put their declaration in no update when not done if template has no
technical code or complex dependency on underlying code;
* move found mail data (mail.message.subtype or mail.activity.type) records
in a mail_data file that should contain only "core" records linked to mail;

RATIONALE
Mail template model holds a field telling odoo mail engine to automatically
add the current user's signature to the body. Its use depends on the use
case
* using the template in the composer on a single record: it is displayed
in the rendered template in the composer, meaning people could change it.
This behavior is interesting as it allows to see the email content;
* using the template in the composer in mass mail mode: it is not displayed
as only the raw jinja is displayed. It is therefore not obvious that it
will be appended to the body of the mail. People could add it manually and
have 2 signatures as a result;
A mechanism automatically adding a signature to sent emails when posting a
message is already implemented and is based on template existence. If a
template has been used when posting, no signature is added in sent emails.
Otherwise it is automatically added. This behavior should not change.
Behavior will therefore be
* use a template -> specify signature usage in it manually through jinja;
* do not use a template -> signature added in sent emails;
SPECIFICATIONS
Remove user_signature.
Update template body accordingly. In customer oriented templates that are using
it and do not already contain it, manually add a call to user.signature within
the jinja code. When set to False, just remove its declaration.
Quickly clean some signature integration.

[NEW] base: show enterprise module, with an 'upgrade' button
[IMP] *: some modules renaming, and improved copywriting of manifest
[IMP] *: utm on links to odoo.com
Purpose
=======
- Quickly share the url to someone else (a client, a colleague,...)
- Ensure that the recipient can access at least
the portal view of the shared record.
- Typically used when a client cannot retrieve the mail to access his order.
The share link can be used in this case.
Specifications
==============
For any object inheriting form portal.mixin:
- Add a button SHARE (not visible in edit mode)
- When clicking on this button, a popup opens with :
- A warning message for tasks and projects only (see below)
- the link (like in gmail) that can be copied
- Recipients
- mail composer (with preselected template) ==> see below
- button [Send Link] [Copy Link] Discard
- After sharing document, put internal note like
"Document shared to xyz,...." with template message
- Anyone with the link, even anonymous user (not logged in) can have access
to the document with the access token provided in the url.
Impacted models:
- account.invoice (Community)
- project.project (Community)
- project.task (Community)
- purchase.order (Community)
- sale.order (Community)
- helpdesk.ticket (Enterprise)
Warning messages and access rules:
Allowed :
- SO canceled or draft will be accessible with the link
with access_token
- If the customer account is B2B (signup not enabled), the recipient
will anyway see the document as the user specifically wants the
recipient to see the document.
Restrictions :
- For Project and Task, if the privacy is not public, then, there is a
contradiction between the access_token mechanism
and the privacy of the document.
- A warning message will be displayed in the share wizard to inform the
user if the document cannot be visible by the recipients and to
ask him to set the privacy to 'Visible by following customer'.
The send button will, in that case, be hidden.
- To avoid to block the share for a new project, default privacy value
is now set to 'Visible by followong customer'
Technical implementation
========================
- Move the access_token mechanism (field + methods + mail controller)
to the portal.mixin to be able to use it in a generic way for each object
inheriting the portal.mixin
- Generalise a part of the _*model*_get_page_view_values method
into a single one in portal
- Generalize the _*model*_check_access into the portal controller of the
portal module
- Remove the init_column + default value for the access_token
> old records have an access_token,
> new one won't but it will be generated on demand via the get_access_token
Done for performance reasons
- Add share button into action menu separately. + kanban view context menu
(except for task and project where button not in action menu but 'simple'
button for task and project because other modules already provide action
to send documents by email, which is not the case for project and task.)
- Add a sign_token used to authentify the recipient in the portal view chatter,
if any. The message will be posted as if the user was logged in.
- Set the _get_share_url as private for security reason
- Add a redirect parameter to _get_share_url to get
If false : The direct portal view url
If True : The redirect url (mail/view/?)
- Cleaning up unnecessary code
- Bug fix :
- Before, if user was not logged and record had partner_id,
if partner id was null, post message was done as admin.
Now, the post message is done as public user.
- If the user had an uid but had no access_token, he could be able
to gain the access token of the record.
check_access_rights was missing in the get_access_action.

Closes#25629
In this commit we improve templates used in portal. Purpose of this commit
is to have templates that embed or use standard Odoo email layouts to make
them look modern and have a common style across all emails.
Main guidelines
* better use of div / p / br to try to lessen layout issues, especially
when updating templates using the editor;
* correctly sequence the templates fields definition;
* correctly set templates values notably auto_delete and user_signature
fields to avoid confusion;
* correctly layout the email content using light notification email. It
can either propagate the layout choice through various send mail methods
or directly embed the styling in the templates for more technical or
complex templates;
* use email_formatted computed field when possible to avoid having hand-made
from / to addresses;
* fix various typos and improve subjects when necessary;
Content of emails is not necessarily updated as the purpose of this task is
about styling, not content itself.
This commit is linked to task ID 1843361 (and 1868112) and to PR #25299
(and #25889).
The is_portal flag was used before to define if a group is a portal group. This is not true anymore since the default portal group should be used for this purpose. All logic associated to this flag can be removed.
TASK: 47937
This commit moves the whole customer portal to the portal module.
It now completely uses portal and http_routing features and is not
dependent on website anymore.
An override of web controller is added in portal in order to redirect
portal users to /my instead of /web. That way once having the customer
portal installed all share users are correctly redirected to their
account.
All modules defining customer portal templates and controllers are
updated accordingly.
All portal features were moved into base
and website_portal, portal module is obsolete.
This commit remove its code, and modify the modules
dependencies accordingly. website_portal now depends
on auth_signup.
The goal is to prepare the removal of
'portal' module.
- demo portal user is moved into base
- 'is_portal' field on res.group too
- remaining security rule are moved to base too
- mail template is moved to website_portal
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.
