mail.channel doesn't have the normal behavior of mail.thread,
but the test are based on mail.channel (which is thus a not so good idea).
res.partner is the other model available in mail module, implementing
the correct behavior of mail.thread, but trigger AccessError. The tests
are commented from now, since TDE and I rewrite the test with a complete
module dedicated to the test and implementing the expected behavior of a mail.thread.
Notification emails have been redesigned. They notably include buttons
allowing to perform some action directly from the email.
The notification creation and sending has been partially rewritten
and improved. The purpose is to lessen the number of rendering to perform
when sending emails to recipients. Recipients are first categorized into
groups. Basic groups are partners and users. The notification template
is then rendered twice, one for followers and one for not-followers. In most
cases there will be few rendering to perform. Through inheritance it
is possible to further categorize users. For example HR users / officers
that have approve / refuse buttons in their email.
A custom data structure is used to store data about buttons and actions.
URLs, follow / unfollow are added in the structure and used in the
template to render the email for a given group.
New routes are added in mail. Those allow to perform some action, like
going to a form in create mode, following / unfollowing, executing a method,
sending a signal for a workflow. Those routes are for users only and rely
on classic access rights.
A generic route for viewing records is added. It replaces the old redirect
action. According to some specific action given by the already-existing
get_access_action, the record will be visible for everybody (forum, blog)
or restricted (going on the Inbox / login / form view, according to access
rights).
The next commit will add the various inherits necessary to add the actions
in the main addons.
Main changes :
- mail.notification model is removed. People do not receive notifications
anymore. Instead two ways of following documents exist
- using a channel; messages will be displayed on the channel itself
in a near future commit
- following with its partner; messages will all be considered as
needaction, using a new m2m table. People should receive less
needaction messages by following less records by themselves.
There is no more read / unread state anymore. Instead only needaction
messages are considered. Todo (Favorites) messages still exist, and are
stores on a new m2m table instead of using decorated notifciations.
- the main filter for documents is not message_unread anymore, but
message_needaction. A lot of views and filters have been updated
accordingly.
- the vote feature has been removed
Followers can now be partners or channels. Partners following a document
will receive needaction, as previously. However people can follow documents
through channels. Members of a channel are able to listen to a stream
of messages using the channel. Those messages do not create needaction
messages. It is therefore possible to follow documents without receiving
too much notifications. For interesting documents subscribing with its
partner will create notification.
message_follower_ids fields is udpated. It is now a many2many to
mail.followers, not to res.partner anymore. A subscription can be either
a partner (partner_id) or a channel (channel_id).
Some access rules have been updated accordingly.
for channel-related stuff. mail.channel views as well as timeline views
and actions have been renamed. Now the names follow the guidelines and
will be used in the upcoming refactoring of mail and chat.
model has been renamed to mail.channel to prepare the slack modeling.
In future commits the mail.group model will be merged with the channel
model from im_chat. The first move is to rename mail.group into
mail.channel to have a model that will unite both features.
Some tests (e.g. mail) have expensive and significant DB setup for a
number of small and cheap tests. Using a TransactionCase, the DB setup
far dominates the tests themselves, by up to 10x (mail unit tests take
~130s on my machine, the tests themselves take ~15s).
The SavepointCase introduced here is an hybrid of SingleTransactionCase
and TransactionCase: it uses a single transaction for all tests in a
class, but each test case is isolated by a rollbacked savepoint. This
allows a common DB setup (via setUpClass) while keeping independent
tests.
TransactionCase should remain the primary test case superclass, but
SavepointCase can be a fair optimisation when setup costs far dominate.
This commit introduces a new view type, the timeline view. This view is
intended to display messages like the previous chatter. This is now a view
like the form or list view. Like other views it will be possible to have
custom templates for some specific needs, allowing customization.
[IMP] mail: the value tracking is modified. Previously messages were created
containing the modified values. Those values are now stored, using a new
model mail.tracking.value. The message body is dynamically build based on
the values. Tests have been updated.
This version is temporary. Indeed two main modifications will come in a short
future :
- the new design will improve the display
- the slack mode will change the way the Inbox and notifications are managed
All glory to the Hypnotoad.
Special thanks to Valerie Pirenne (vpi), Jerome Maes (jem) and Richat Mathot
(rim) that did not code but said a lot of things. Martin Trigaux (mat) did
nothing, a bit like for the slides modules, but he is busy sending emails.
Tests have been migrated to the new api to prepare the migration of the
mail module itself. Moreover tests have been cleaned: redundant tests
and unnecessary tests have been removed.
As the base test class in mail is used in other addons, other addons
have been updated :
- portal
- project
- portal_project
- website_project_issue
- sale
- purchase
Future commits will come with somes fixes for issues detected when cleaning
the tests.
_track is now a method that returns the subtype to trigger in a given
tracking context. A tracking will now lead to only one subtype
being trigerred, instead of having multiple possible subtypes.
Now, one tracking leads to one message with one subtype, or without subtype
if there is none matching. This simplifies the model for future evolution of
chatter and mail.
[IMP] project, project_issue: cleaned task and issue subtypes, now having
opened for created / assigned.
1. The merge of the "email_template" module into the "mail" module.
2. The send action of the mass mailing has been moved from the frontend to a cron, because it was too slow to send over 10,000 mails (the user's browser was blocked for 15 - 20 minutes). Mass mailings have now their own process in the kanban view.
3. Mails sent from the mail form are sent immediatly instead of from the mail queue (for instance, when you go to sales > customers > list view > select 2 -3 customers > More > Partner Mass Mailing).
4. Users have now the choice from which mailing list they want to unsubscribe when they click on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the mail.
5. Mass mailings inherit from their campaign UTMs and mass mailing campaigns are linked to an UTM campaign.
6. Many little improvements
The old-api model._all_columns contains information about model._columns and
inherited columns. This dictionary is missing new-api computed non-stored
fields, and the new field objects provide a more readable api...
This commit contains the following changes:
- adapt several methods of BaseModel to use fields instead of columns and
_all_columns
- copy all semantic-free attributes of related fields from their source
- add attribute 'group_operator' on integer and float fields
- base, base_action_rule, crm, edi, hr, mail, mass_mailing, pad,
payment_acquirer, share, website, website_crm, website_mail: simply use
_fields instead of _all_columns
- base, decimal_precision, website: adapt qweb rendering methods to use fields
instead of columns
The forward port of the fix 3609ba10f2 will be done separately, as the mrp scheduler has been completely refactored from saas-5.

- remove the default footer for mail.group messages,
replace with specific footer with archive and unsubscribe
link
- remove the automatic addition of user signature in
mail.group messages, as many of them will be posted
via the mail gateway and already contain a user signature.
- make it easier to unsubscribe even when not logged in,
as followers who have not signed up will have no
way to login short of signing up.
- remove tests looking for user signature in mail.group posts
A squashed merge is required as the conversion of the apiculture branch from
bzr to git was not correctly done. The git history contains irrelevant blobs
and commits. This branch brings a lot of changes and fixes, too many to list
exhaustively.
- New orm api, objects are now used instead of ids
- Environements to encapsulates cr uid context while maintaining backward compatibility
- Field compute attribute is a new object oriented way to define function fields
- Shared browse record cache
- New onchange protocol
- Optional copy flag on fields
- Documentation update
- Dead code cleanup
- Lots of fixes
- notficiation_email_send field, renamed into notify_email, has now 2 values: always or never, in
order to ease the choice and simplify options.
- inbox: removed 'compose a new messages or write to my followers', because those 2 options are
already available. The first one is accessible using the top-right email icon, the second one
is accessible with the 'write to my followers' text box alread present in the inbox.

to remove unnecessary code.
post and filter_id fields have been removed as they are not necessary.
Updated tests accordingly to new mass mailing tests: mass mailing create
emails, no message_post anymore using followers.

When having emails not linked to a notification (mail.notification = False)
the link is generated without any clue about the source record.
However we can try to use model and res_id defined on the mail_mail record
to correctly format a link.
Added support of model and res_id in message_redirect_action. This method
now can redirect based on a message_id, or based on model / res_id.

Replaced some read by browse
Moved get_reply_to from mail_mail to mail_message
Hint: specifying email_from, reply_to help to enhance computation time
[REF] mail: cleaned some tests, renamed a file, moved mail_group tests into a dedicated file

alternative mode is computed when browsing the parts, not from
the message content type.
Added tests.
Also added some notification_email_send to none to avoid sending
emails in demo/data/update.
