Description of the issue/feature this PR addresses:
It is currently quite difficult to differentiate users. Most of the time, people
don't take the time to upload an actual avatar so everybody looks the same. This
PR generates a custom avatar with the users initials and random color to
differentiate them. For res.users, res.partner and hr.employee, image fields now
hold the binary image and avatar are used to show the image or svg.
Current behavior before PR:
Avatar had only random colors and was being saved in database, being inefficient
Desired behavior after PR is merged:
A new mixin defines image fields and in case no image is set, it generates an
SVG image with the user's initials and random color.

This commit is a significant rewriting of client-side discuss, chatter,
chat window, and messaging menu using OWL. The behavior should be broadly
the same, with some slight functional changes here and there.
From a technical standpoint, the code of messaging is mainly organized in 2
main groups of modules:
- models, which are logical entities that depict the client-side state of
messaging as a whole.
- components, which are in charge of displaying information from models.
This refactoring also introduces new JS guidelines regarding folder structure
(/static) and naming rules for JS modules.

Purpose
=======
Lighten the survey layout. Livechat button should not appear on survey pages.
Specifications
==============
Survey Layout inherits from web.frontend_layout, mainly to be able to use all
the styles rules defined in it and keep consistency between other frontend
pages and survey.
To avoid having the livechat button displayed on survey layout, 'no_livechat'
template variable has been introduced. The livechat button will be displayed
on all layout inheriting from frontend_layout (that is extended in
website_livechat to add that livechat button) only if 'no_livechat'
is False. By default, this variable is not set so will be considered as False.
In survey layout, no_livechat is set to True.

There are too many image sizes. Since they are stored resized this takes time to
generate when saving a new image, it's more rows on the attachment table, more
files on the disk, ...
64px is close enough to 128px that it can be removed without a big impact on
download size.
It will even reduce download and number of requests when both images are
displayed because now only one has to be downloaded and then benefit from cache.
The difference between the two is typically around 1.5kB which is negligible
these days, especially when the request overhead is around 0.5kB already, not
even taking into account other factors such as latency.
If a 64px image must absolutely be returned, it is still possible to pass the
size parameters to the image route. But the current guideline is to handle
resizing in the views when necessary.
Views
=====
- remove width and height attributes when existing CSS rules are overriding them
(eg. `.oe_kanban_avatar` in the right context)
- add CSS rules instead of width and height attributes when possible
- use `object-fit: cover;` where width and height are forced to avoid distortion
of non-square images
- for products, use `object-fit: contain;` instead, keep ratio but without crop
- add new CSS rules where the expected size was max 64px*64px before due to the
image size itself
- remove `img-fluid` where using size classes to avoid conflicting rules

This commit allows a livechat operator to send a chat request to a
connected and available website_visitor.
A visitor is considered as connected if his last tracked website.page request
was within the last 5 minutes.
A visitor is available if he doesn't have an active livechat conversation
(mail_channel with type = livechat).
- If another operator sent him a chat request
- Or if the visitor asked himself to speak with an operator
(via the normal and existing flow)
A livechat conversation is active while the visitor haven't left the conversation.
An operator cannot leave a livechat conversation, only the visitor can.
The flow to send a chat request:
- On the visitor view (tree or form), operator click on 'send chat request'
(button or livechat icon)
- A empty conversation with the visitor pops up at operator side.
- While the operator didn't send a message, the visitor won't see the conversation.
- The operator can type a message to the user
- If the operator close the chat without sending any messages,
the chat request AND the mail_channel are both deleted.
In this case, the visitor is then available to send him a new chat request.
- If the operator send a message, at the visitor's next action
(page navigation on pages that allows livechat, based on livechat rules),
the conversation will pop up at visitor side, using the livechat button widget.
The visitor won't be able to request a livechat conversation with an operator until
he leaves the chat requested by the operator.
- Once the visitor leaves (with or without rating) the conversation :
- the operator is notified that the visitor has left the conversation
- the chat request is deleted to keep the chat request table clean and minimal
- the livechat conversation if set to inactive.
- The visitor is now available again to send him a chat request.
This feature uses the already existing livechat_session cookie mechanism,
so no further code modification was needed to make this work.
It's directly integrated is existing livechat flow.
The chat_request model is only useful to quickly check if a visitor has a chat request
and to send the livechat conversation info to the visitor via the livechat_session cookie.
This commit also add a website_visitor banner info on discuss view :
To be able to quickly see all the relevant information of a website visitor
while talking with in discuss view, a fixed banner have been added.
Only the discuss view will benefit from this because detached chatter window
is to small to display such banner.

Purpose
=======
Several methods of the 'im_livechat.channel' model were passed a 'channel_id' to work on.
This has been changed so that the caller can use those methods on an instance of this model instead.
Some methods have also been switched to private because they had no apparent reasons to be public.
This is a preliminary cleaning for task #1919871
Specicial note for the "loader" template:
To load the livechat assets in a website page, the 'loader' template of livechat
is directly called (instead of being returned through a controller) in order
to avoid a new call to server.
As this commit moves 'sudo' to make method callable on the record directly, it
still needs to be sudo. First solution was to add the 'sudo' in the template, which
is a bad practise.
This commit creates a proxy method on website model returning the livechat info
with 'sudo'. This avoid having the 'sudo' done in template. Like always, explicit
is better than implicit.
Task-1919871
The utility classes `Timer`, `Timers` and `CCThrottleFunction`
were only used by the feature 'is typing...', thus all those files
were in the same folder.
This commit moves the utility classes in a dedicated folder,
and introduces a folder for thread mixins, in preparation for
future features on threads that will be implemented as mixins.
To avoid that people know the complete name of the support members
(for privacy purpose), a username can be used.
Users have the opportunity to set and modify their username in
their user preferences.
If the username is not set, the complete name will still be used.
If the username is set, it is used for the discussion title, the
name of the message sender, the name of the team members in the
channel statistics. All of this, only in the livechat context.

This commit adds more precision about ratings per operators for a
specific channel. Only the operators that have been rated on the last 100
feedbacks have their statistics displayed. The other operators that did not
worked (or have not been rated) on the last 100 feedbacks are still displayed
but are flaged as 'Not rated yet', so we still can see who is working on this
channel.

With this commit, most threads show an indicator when a member is typing
something. e.g.
"Mitchell Stephens is typing..."
Supported threads:
- DM
- (public & private) channels
- Livechat (Website & Backend)
Unsupported threads:
- mailboxes (e.g. 'Inbox')
- document thread (= 'Chatter')
- support channel (with `im_support` module)
Some technical details:
- This is a mix between 'start'/'stop' and 'regular notify' strategies.
- On typing text in composer: notify 'start typing' to all members of
thread.
- On clearing text in composer: notify 'stop typing' to all members of
thread.
- A member can only notify once every 2.5 seconds to the server when he
starts or stops typing something (throttled, buffered notify call).
- On receiving a message from someone that is typing: determine that he is
no longer typing.
- On non-empty and unchanged composer text for 5.0 seconds: automatically
notifies all members of thread that he is no longer typing anything.
(This is like a 'soft / cooperative sender' timeout).
- On non-receiving a typing notification of someone after 60 seconds:
determine that he is not longer typing something (This is like a
'hard / receiver assumption' timeout).
- When some types for more than 50 seconds straight: notify that he is
still typing something (again and again every 50 seconds).
- When two or more people are typing something (Multi-User channels), it
displays at most 2 typing users (ordering rule: longer typers first):
"Mitchell Stephens, Marc Brown and more are typing..."
- Timing summary:
- Usually 2.5 seconds uncertainty.
- Up to 5.0 seconds uncertainty on typer inactivity.
- Up to 60 seconds uncertainty on typer page reload / browser tab
closed / etc.
Future Improvements:
- Detect page reload or browser tab close with loose of longpolling
connection
Task-ID 28188
The purpose of this change is to make the code clearer and testable.
In this change, the 'tab_manager' static object was merged with the bus
cross tab.
Cleaning was done to clearly define private and public functions as well
as handlers. The methods are documented and the constants are now defined
on the class. The bus use the service behavior with 'trigger_up'.
'bus.CrossTab' who extend 'bus.Longpolling' are instantiated by the
bus service.
The class is always instantiated with a parent, or root in the case of the website
(im_livechat), to use the ajax and localstorage services. So the behavior, perhaps
logger or redefined by the parents.
Only two classes remain to declare a media structure:
'media' and 'media-body'. 'media-left/right' are guessed by their
position using the flex layout.
Also, the 'media-list' class has been dropped but <ul/> element
should use the 'list-unstyled' class instead.
Like all other components, spacing between medias are now to be
handled explicitely thanks the spacing utility classes.
In im_livechat, it now handles a {mail.model.WebsiteLivechat}.
Note that this website livechat model is dumb with messages: it stores messages
just before rendering, because this is im_livechat that handles messages.
This should be improved in the future.
Renamed "livechat" model into "website livechat", in order to avoid confusion
with backend livechat.
- `im_livechat.model.LivechatMessage` becomes `im_livechat.model.WebsiteLivechatMessage`
- `im_livechat.LivechatWindow` becomes `im_livechat.WebsiteLivechatWindow`
----------------------
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.
Today, Odoo is really tricky to use without seeing the screen, it must be improved to be usable.
This PR forbid to use labels without a "for" attribute, add some title, rule and aria attributes in HTML. With that, Odoo will be fully usable with a screen reader.

Previously, customizing the website footer was not very easy. This
commit will allow users to customize the footer like any other
snippet area.
There are several behavior changes, as mentioned below:
- Removed toggles 'Automatic Footer' and 'Payment Icons' from the
Customize menu
- Language Selector was moved near the 'Copyright' section of the footer
and features a dropdown (dropup technically) to select the language
- Moved some footer links from various modules to top menu
List of the added menus / changed menus:
(a) Resellers (new menu for previous footer link 'Resellers')
(b) References (new menu for previous footer link 'Our References')
(c) Forums (renamed from 'Forum', as a replacement of 'Forums'
footer link, showing all the forums instead of 'Help', as there
is no link available to all forums after this commit)
(d) Live Support (new menu for previous footer link
'Livechat Support')
(e) Mailing Lists (new menu for previous footer link 'Mailing List')
(f) Members (new menu for previous footer link 'Members')
- Links which were already available as a website menus (Presentations,
Jobs, Events, News, Documentation, etc) are simply removed
Technical Notes:
- Introduced a new template called 'brand_promotion' in website.
This will help to avoid adding redundant footer content (like
copyright, language selector etc) from several modules (website_sale,
website_event, website_quote, etc) while the only intention is to
replace module page links.
- Removed summernote related fix in portal.less (caused by xpath)
because footer is now customizable and added padding to structure
instead of footer itself so that bg-color/img can be applied on
whole footer.
- Few of the tours are improved to drag and drop snippets at proper
places and not inside the footer.
- Used Flex in copyright portion of footer, so that text will always be
horizontally centered (Some themes have different padding for buttons,
etc, so if we don't align text dynamically, it has to be managed in
particular theme and in particular layouts like full-screen / boxed.
And if someone changes height of this portion, we have to re-design
this portion again, etc).

Co-authored-by: Dharmraj <dja@odoo.com>
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).
Convert content so that the assets compile on app installation. The
style is still broken after this as the variables/mixins/... are not
defined in the right order (as it did not matter in LESS but does in
SCSS).
This commit basically changes:
- Variables: @var_hello -> $var-hello
- Mixins: .mixin_world() {} -> @mixin mixin-world {}
- Classes used as mixin: .my_class() -> @extend .my_class
- Here there were no other solution than to convert the use of
a mixin call by the use of an extend as a first approximation
- LESS functions -> SCSS functions (e.g. fade -> rgba)
- Move first variable definition before the variable is used
- Still need to make sure last variable definition is at the
right place
Revision of https://github.com/odoo/odoo/commit/02ec09cb1c3e2d7bc7968f40c18f2208d7f3f498
One of the purposes of the previous commit was to test discuss.
There was an attempt to test im_livechat, but it has been aborted due to the possibility
to use livechat on an external website.
However, some bits remain from this attempt, such as LivechatButton becoming a JS service
provider in order to use those services with the external lib. LivechatButton was not working
for the following reasons:
- ServiceProviderMixin.init was not called (so it couldn't load any service);
- On website, there are two service providers (LivechatButton & websiteRootInstance).
This fix ensures that LivechatButton does not rely on JS services, such as the bus_service.
This commit improves the JS code of the mail module,
which comes maily from the new coding guidelines
and the addition of "JS services".
JS services are important objects that do not fit
well in the component tree, such as chat_manager
or ajax.
The benefits of JS services are improved readability
of the code, reduced coupling, and more testable
modules. In particular, discuss was hard to
Summary of the changes:
- ClientAction has been renamed into Discuss
- Clear instantiation of chatManager
- New coding guidelines in most mail modules
- JS Services can interact with each other
- Chat Manager and Window Manager are services
- Window Manager renamed to Chat Window Manager
- bus.bus is now encapsulated in Bus Service (a service)
- The test infrastructure has been tweaked with JS Services
- Chat Mixin has been removed
A future improvement would be to translate some 'trigger' into 'trigger_up'.
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.
Before this commit, website.page xml record were created in 2 steps:
1. Create an ir.ui.view record with <template> tag
2. Create a website.page record with <record model="website.page">
But this is useless since website.page inheritS ir.ui.view, you can create both
records just in one <record> tag.
Note: This is NOT TRUE in every case:
Odoo's ORM will suffix external_id of inherited records (in this case the
ir.ui.view created through the website.page record) with its model's name.
This can be a problem in some case (this is an example):
website_crm_template.xml create an ir.ui.view inheriting the
ir.ui.view 'website.contactus'.
But if we didn't keep website.page & ir.ui.view records split for that
specific case, the ir.ui.view would inherit a website.page record
causing an error. (website.contactus would be the id of the page record
while the ir.ui.view's id would be website.contactus_ir_ui_view)
In short: when migrating an ir.ui.view (<record> xml) to a website.page:
* If there is record inheriting the ir.ui.view ID, then split
website.page & ir.ui.view
* if not, you can create the website.page and its ir.ui.view both in one
record (<record model="website.page").
This commit also removed remaining page="True" from xml template since we
removed the 'page' attribute from ir.ui.view model overrided in website module.
