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).

SEO tools are ready to use, with no configuration required. Odoo suggests keywords for your titles according to Google's most searched terms, Google Analytics tracks interests of your visitors, sitemaps are created automatically for quick Google indexing, etc.
The system even creates structured content automatically to promote your products and events effectively in Google.

Themes are awesome and easy to design. You don't need to develop to create new pages, themes or building blocks. We use a clean HTML structure, a bootstrap CSS and our modularity allows you to distribute your themes easily.
The building block approach allows the website to remain clean after end-users start creating new contents.
Easy Access Rights
Not everyone requires the same access to your website. Designers manage the layout of the site, editors approve content and authors write that content. This lets you organize your publishing process according to your needs.
Other access rights are related to business objects (products, people, events, etc) and directly following Odoo's standard access rights management, so you do not have to configure things twice.
