This commit introduces the 'rainbowification' feature to the web client
(and to some affected addons). This feature is essentially a way to
display a nice friendly message when some business event happens. For
example, a encouraging message is displayed when the user clear her/his
inbox, or when a salesman closes a deal.
The mechanism currently only displays a 'rainbowman', but could be
extended later to add other kind of animation.
There are a few different ways to display a 'rainbowman':
- any JS code can simply trigger_up an event ('show_effect') with some
options: for example
this.trigger_up('show_effect', {
type: 'rainbow_man',
fadeout: 'no',
message: $done,
click_close: false,
});
- an action returned by the server can have an 'effect' key, with some
options
- the do_execute_action method accepts a 'effect' option. This is
useful when one wants to specify a rainbow on an action button in a
form view
