💡 Simplified Approach (Recommended)

💡 简化方法(推荐)

In MOST cases, you can configure via
$o-website-values-palettes
without custom XML:
  • 'header-template'
    :
    'default'
    |
    'hamburger'
    |
    'vertical'
    |
    'sidebar'
  • 'footer-template'
    :
    'default'
    |
    'centered'
    |
    'minimalist'
    |
    'links'
    |
    'descriptive'
When to use custom header.xml/footer.xml:
  • Design requires completely custom layout not available in templates
  • Need additional HTML elements beyond what templates provide
大多数情况下,无需自定义XML,直接通过
$o-website-values-palettes
配置:
  • 'header-template'
    :
    'default'
    |
    'hamburger'
    |
    'vertical'
    |
    'sidebar'
  • 'footer-template'
    :
    'default'
    |
    'centered'
    |
    'minimalist'
    |
    'links'
    |
    'descriptive'
何时需要自定义header.xml/footer.xml:
  • 设计需要模板中未提供的完全自定义布局
  • 需要添加模板以外的HTML元素

Version Support

版本支持

  • Odoo 14-15: Bootstrap 4.5.0, simple snippets
  • Odoo 16-17: Bootstrap 5.1.3, modern asset bundles
  • Odoo 18-19: Bootstrap 5.1.3, snippet groups required
  • Odoo 14-15: Bootstrap 4.5.0、基础Snippet
  • Odoo 16-17: Bootstrap 5.1.3、现代资源包
  • Odoo 18-19: Bootstrap 5.1.3、需配置Snippet分组

Run Script Directly

直接运行脚本

bash
python scripts/create_theme.py <theme_name> <output_path> --version=17 --colors="#207AB7,#FB9F54,#F6F4F0,#FFFFFF,#191A19"

bash
python scripts/create_theme.py <theme_name> <output_path> --version=17 --colors="#207AB7,#FB9F54,#F6F4F0,#FFFFFF,#191A19"

CRITICAL RULES

关键规则

  1. NEVER edit core Odoo in
    odoo/
    or
    odoo/addons/
    directories
  2. No inline JS/CSS - Create separate
    .js
    and
    .scss
    files
  3. JS modules: Use
    /** @odoo-module **/
    annotation
  4. Website themes: Use
    publicWidget
    framework ONLY (not Owl or vanilla JS)
  5. Bootstrap: Use v5.1.3 classes for Odoo 16+ (never Tailwind)
  6. Module naming: Use
    snake_case
    convention
  7. Translations: Wrap static labels in JS arrays/constants with
    _t()
    AT DEFINITION TIME (not via runtime wrappers). Static XML strings are auto-translated.
  1. 绝对不要修改Odoo核心文件:不要编辑
    odoo/
    odoo/addons/
    目录下的内容
  2. 禁止内联JS/CSS:创建独立的
    .js
    .scss
    文件
  3. JS模块:使用
    /** @odoo-module **/
    注解
  4. 网站主题:仅使用
    publicWidget
    框架(禁止使用Owl或原生JS)
  5. Bootstrap:Odoo 16+ 使用v5.1.3类(禁止使用Tailwind)
  6. 模块命名:遵循
    snake_case
    命名规范
  7. 翻译:静态标签在JS数组/常量定义时使用
    _t()
    包裹(而非运行时包裹)。XML中的静态字符串会自动翻译。

Auto-Detection Workflow

版本自动检测工作流

Step 1: Detect Odoo Version

步骤1:检测Odoo版本

When starting any frontend task, first detect the Odoo version:
python
undefined
启动任何前端任务前,先检测Odoo版本:
python
undefined

Use the version detector script

使用版本检测脚本

python scripts/version_detector.py <module_path>

The version detector will:
1. Look for `__manifest__.py` or `__openerp__.py`
2. Parse the version field
3. If not found, detect from parent directory (e.g., `odoo17/`)
4. Return:
   - Odoo version (e.g., "17.0")
   - Bootstrap version (e.g., "5.1.3")
   - Owl version (e.g., "2.x" or None)
   - Module type (theme, website, custom)
python scripts/version_detector.py <module_path>

版本检测器会:
1. 查找 `__manifest__.py` 或 `__openerp__.py`
2. 解析版本字段
3. 若未找到,从父目录检测(如 `odoo17/`)
4. 返回:
   - Odoo版本(如 "17.0")
   - Bootstrap版本(如 "5.1.3")
   - Owl版本(如 "2.x" 或 None)
   - 模块类型(主题、网站、自定义)

Step 2: Bootstrap Version Mapping

步骤2:Bootstrap版本映射

Automatic Bootstrap Version Selection:
  • Odoo 14-15: Bootstrap 4.5.0
  • Odoo 16-19: Bootstrap 5.1.3
自动选择Bootstrap版本:
  • Odoo 14-15: Bootstrap 4.5.0
  • Odoo 16-19: Bootstrap 5.1.3

Step 3: Owl Version Detection

步骤3:Owl版本检测

JavaScript Framework Selection:
  • Odoo 14-15: Owl experimental or jQuery only
  • Odoo 16-17: Owl v1
  • Odoo 18-19: Owl v2 (with breaking changes)
JavaScript框架选择:
  • Odoo 14-15: Owl实验版或仅jQuery
  • Odoo 16-17: Owl v1
  • Odoo 18-19: Owl v2(存在破坏性变更)

Step 4: Snippet Structure Detection

步骤4:Snippet结构检测

Snippet Registration Method:
  • Odoo 14-17: Simple snippet insertion without groups
  • Odoo 18-19: Snippet groups required (
    snippet_structure
    with groups)
Snippet注册方式:
  • Odoo 14-17: 无需分组,直接插入
  • Odoo 18-19: 必须配置
    snippet_structure
    分组

Complete Theme Variables Reference

This section provides complete documentation for the three core SCSS variable systems used in Odoo themes.

本节提供Odoo主题中使用的三个核心SCSS变量系统的完整文档。

📚 1. $o-theme-font-configs - Google Fonts Configuration

📚 1. $o-theme-font-configs - Google字体配置

$o-theme-font-configs
defines available fonts for Odoo website themes with automatic Google Fonts import.
$o-theme-font-configs
定义Odoo网站主题可用的字体,支持自动导入Google字体。

Structure

结构

scss
$o-theme-font-configs: (
    '<Font Name>': (
        'family': (<CSS font-family list>),     // Required: Font family with fallbacks
        'url': '<Google Fonts parameter>',       // Required*: Google Fonts query param ONLY
        'properties': (                          // Optional: Per-context CSS overrides
            '<font-alias>': (
                '<website-value-key>': <value>,
            ),
        ),
    ),
);
⚠️ CRITICAL: The
'url'
key contains only the query parameter, NOT the full URL!
scss
// ✅ CORRECT - Only the font parameter
'url': 'Poppins:300,300i,400,400i,600,600i,700,700i'

// The system generates: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Poppins:...&display=swap

// ❌ WRONG - Do not include full URL
'url': 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Poppins:300,400,700'
scss
$o-theme-font-configs: (
    '<Font Name>': (
        'family': (<CSS font-family list>),     // 必填:带回退字体的字体族
        'url': '<Google Fonts参数>',       // 必填*:仅Google Fonts查询参数
        'properties': (                          // 可选:按上下文覆盖CSS
            '<font-alias>': (
                '<website-value-key>': <value>,
            ),
        ),
    ),
);
⚠️ 关键注意事项
'url'
字段仅包含查询参数,而非完整URL!
scss
// ✅ 正确写法 - 仅字体参数
'url': 'Poppins:300,300i,400,400i,600,600i,700,700i'

// 系统会自动生成:https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Poppins:...&display=swap

// ❌ 错误写法 - 不要包含完整URL
'url': 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Poppins:300,400,700'

Font Weight Specification

字体权重规范

scss
// Format: FontName:weight1,weight1i,weight2,weight2i,...
//   - Number alone = normal style
//   - Number + 'i' = italic style

'url': 'Poppins:300,300i,400,400i,600,600i,700,700i'
//      Light  Light-i  Regular Regular-i SemiBold ...
scss
// 格式:FontName:weight1,weight1i,weight2,weight2i,...
//   - 仅数字 = 常规样式
//   - 数字 + 'i' = 斜体样式

'url': 'Poppins:300,300i,400,400i,600,600i,700,700i'
//      轻量  轻量斜体  常规  常规斜体  半粗体 ...

Multiple Word Font Names

⚠️ CRITICAL: SCSS Load Order in Odoo Themes

⚠️ CRITICAL: SCSS Load Order in Odoo Themes

Theme SCSS files load BEFORE core Odoo variables are defined!
When you use
prepend
in your manifest's asset bundles, your SCSS executes BEFORE Odoo's core
primary_variables.scss
:
LOAD ORDER:
1. YOUR theme's primary_variables.scss (via prepend)  ← FIRST
2. Odoo core primary_variables.scss                    ← SECOND
3. Other SCSS files
⛔ CRITICAL LIMITATIONS:
  • CANNOT use map-merge() with core variables (they don't exist yet!)
  • $o-color-palettes
    ,
    $o-theme-color-palettes
    ,
    $o-theme-font-configs
    are all UNDEFINED when your theme loads
❌ WRONG (Will cause "Undefined variable" error):
scss
$o-color-palettes: map-merge($o-color-palettes, (...));         // ERROR!
$o-theme-font-configs: map-merge($o-theme-font-configs, (...)); // ERROR!
✅ CORRECT (Define as standalone):
scss
// Standalone font config (no map-merge!)
$o-theme-font-configs: (
    'Poppins': (
        'family': ('Poppins', sans-serif),
        'url': 'Poppins:300,300i,400,400i,500,500i,600,600i,700,700i',
    ),
);

// Reference existing palette by name
$o-website-values-palettes: (
    (
        'color-palettes-name': 'default-1',  // Use existing palette name!
        'font': 'Poppins',
        // ...other values
    ),
);
❌ WRONG: Do NOT use
ir.asset
records for Google Fonts in themes - this causes malformed URLs!

JavaScript Development

Public Widget Pattern (publicWidget - REQUIRED for Themes)

IMPORTANT: For website themes, ALWAYS use publicWidget framework - NOT Owl or vanilla JS.
Use for: Website interactions, theme functionality, form handling, animations
Complete Structure with editableMode:
javascript
/** @odoo-module **/

import publicWidget from "@web/legacy/js/public/public_widget";

publicWidget.registry.MyWidget = publicWidget.Widget.extend({
    selector: '.my-selector',
    disabledInEditableMode: false,  // Allow in website builder

    events: {
        'click .button': '_onClick',
        'change input': '_onChange',
        'submit form': '_onSubmit',
    },

    /**
     * Lifecycle: Called when widget starts
     * CRITICAL: Check editableMode for website builder compatibility
     */
    start: function () {
        // IMPORTANT: Only run animations/interactions in read mode
        if (!this.editableMode) {
            this._initializeAnimation();
            this._bindExternalEvents();
        }
        return this._super.apply(this, arguments);
    },

    /**
     * Initialize animations (only in read mode)
     */
    _initializeAnimation: function () {
        // Animation code that should NOT run in edit mode
        this.$el.addClass('animated');
    },

    /**
     * Bind events outside the widget element
     */
    _bindExternalEvents: function () {
        $(window).on('scroll.myWidget', this._onScroll.bind(this));
        $(window).on('resize.myWidget', this._onResize.bind(this));
    },

    /**
     * Click handler
     */
    _onClick: function (ev) {
        ev.preventDefault();
        // Don't run in edit mode
        if (this.editableMode) return;
        // Handler logic
    },

    /**
     * Scroll handler
     */
    _onScroll: function () {
        // Throttle scroll events for performance
    },

    /**
     * CRITICAL: Clean up event listeners to prevent memory leaks
     */
    destroy: function () {
        $(window).off('.myWidget');  // Remove namespaced events
        this._super.apply(this, arguments);
    },
});

export default publicWidget.registry.MyWidget;
Key publicWidget Points:
  1. ALWAYS check
    this.editableMode
    before running animations/interactions
  2. Use
    disabledInEditableMode: false
    to make widgets work in website builder
  3. ALWAYS clean up event listeners in
    destroy()
    method
  4. NEVER use Owl or vanilla JS for website themes - publicWidget only
  5. Use namespaced events (
    .myWidget
    ) for easy cleanup
Include in Manifest:
python
'assets': {
    'web.assets_frontend': [
        'module_name/static/src/js/my_widget.js',
    ],
}

Owl Component Pattern (Modern, Reactive)

Use for: Complex interactive UIs, reactive state management, component composition
Odoo 17 (Owl v1):
javascript
/** @odoo-module **/

import { Component, useState } from "@odoo/owl";
import { registry } from "@web/core/registry";

class MyComponent extends Component {
    setup() {
        this.state = useState({
            items: [],
            loading: false,
        });
    }

    async willStart() {
        await this.loadData();
    }

    async loadData() {
        this.state.loading = true;
        // Fetch data via RPC
        const data = await this.rpc('/my/route');
        this.state.items = data.items;
        this.state.loading = false;
    }

    onItemClick(item) {
        console.log('Clicked:', item);
    }
}

MyComponent.template = "module_name.MyComponentTemplate";

registry.category("public_components").add("MyComponent", MyComponent);

export default MyComponent;
Odoo 18/19 (Owl v2 - Note differences):
javascript
/** @odoo-module **/

import { Component, useState } from "@odoo/owl";

class MyComponent extends Component {
    static template = "module_name.MyComponentTemplate";
    static props = {
        // Define props with validation
        title: { type: String, optional: true },
        items: { type: Array },
    };

    setup() {
        this.state = useState({
            selectedId: null,
        });
    }

    // Owl v2 uses static template property
}

export default MyComponent;
XML Template:
xml
<template id="MyComponentTemplate" name="My Component">
    <div class="my-component">
        <h3 t-if="props.title"><t t-esc="props.title"/></h3>
        <ul>
            <li t-foreach="props.items" t-as="item" t-key="item.id">
                <t t-esc="item.name"/>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </div>
</template>

Translation (_t) Best Practices

CRITICAL RULE: Use
_t()
at DEFINITION TIME for static labels in JavaScript arrays/constants, NOT via runtime wrapper methods. Static strings in XML templates are automatically translated by Odoo.
Why?
  • Static strings in XML templates (
    .xml
    files) are automatically extracted by Odoo's translation system
  • Using
    _t()
    in templates for static strings duplicates translation entries and adds unnecessary overhead
  • _t()
    MUST wrap strings at definition time in JS so Odoo's PO extractor can find them
  • Runtime wrapper methods (like
    translateLabel(key)
    ) do NOT work - the strings are never found by the extractor
CORRECT - Wrap static labels with
_t()
AT DEFINITION TIME:
javascript
/** @odoo-module **/

import { _t } from "@web/core/l10n/translation";

// ✅ CORRECT: Wrap each string with _t() at definition time
const MONTHS = [
    {value: 1, short: _t("Jan"), full: _t("January")},
    {value: 2, short: _t("Feb"), full: _t("February")},
    {value: 3, short: _t("Mar"), full: _t("March")},
    {value: 4, short: _t("Apr"), full: _t("April")},
    {value: 5, short: _t("May"), full: _t("May")},
    {value: 6, short: _t("Jun"), full: _t("June")},
    {value: 7, short: _t("Jul"), full: _t("July")},
    {value: 8, short: _t("Aug"), full: _t("August")},
    {value: 9, short: _t("Sep"), full: _t("September")},
    {value: 10, short: _t("Oct"), full: _t("October")},
    {value: 11, short: _t("Nov"), full: _t("November")},
    {value: 12, short: _t("Dec"), full: _t("December")},
];

// ✅ CORRECT: Status labels wrapped at definition
const STATUS_LABELS = {
    draft: _t("Draft"),
    pending: _t("Pending"),
    approved: _t("Approved"),
    rejected: _t("Rejected"),
};

export class DatePicker extends Component {
    setup() {
        this.months = MONTHS;  // Already translated at definition
    }

    get displayLabel() {
        const month = this.months.find(m => m.value === this.selectedMonth);
        // No translateLabel() needed - values are already translated
        return `${month?.short || ""} ${this.selectedYear}`;
    }
}
WRONG - Runtime wrapper methods don't work:
javascript
// ❌ WRONG: Strings without _t() at definition will NOT be translated
const MONTHS = [
    {value: 1, label: "Jan", full: "January"},  // NOT FOUND by PO extractor!
    {value: 2, label: "Feb", full: "February"},
];

// ❌ WRONG: This pattern does NOT work for translation
translateLabel(key) {
    return _t(key);  // key is a variable, not a literal - PO extractor can't find it!
}
CORRECT - Template using pre-translated values:
xml
<!-- Month values come from JS MONTHS array - already translated at definition -->
<t t-foreach="getAvailableMonths()" t-as="month" t-key="month.value">
    <a href="#" t-on-click.prevent="() => this.selectMonth(month.value)">
        <!-- No wrapper needed - month.full is already translated -->
        <t t-esc="month.full"/>
    </a>
</t>
CORRECT - Static XML strings need NO wrapper:
xml
<!-- Static strings in XML are auto-translated by Odoo -->
<span>No data available</span>
<a href="#">Live</a>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
When to use
_t()
at DEFINITION TIME:
  1. ✅ Static labels in JavaScript arrays (month names, day names, status labels)
  2. ✅ Static labels in JavaScript objects/constants
  3. ✅ Error messages defined as constants
  4. ✅ Any string literal that will be displayed to users from JS
When NOT to use
_t()
:
  1. ❌ Static text directly in XML templates (auto-translated)
  2. ❌ Runtime wrapper methods like
    translateLabel(key)
    (doesn't work!)
  3. ❌ Dynamic variables passed to
    _t()
    at runtime
  4. ❌ Any hardcoded string in
    .xml
    files
REMEMBER: If you define a string in JavaScript that will be shown to users, wrap it with
_t()
where it's defined, not where it's used.

Version-Specific Considerations

Odoo 17 Specifics

  1. Owl v1
    • Use
      useState
      from
      @odoo/owl
    • Legacy import paths
    • Component template as separate property
  2. Snippet Structure
    • Simple insertion without groups
    • Use XPath targeting
      //div[@id='snippet_effect']
  3. Public Widgets
    • Import from
      @web/legacy/js/public/public_widget
    • jQuery fully available

Odoo 18/19 Specifics

  1. Owl v2
    • Static template property
    • Props validation required
    • New reactive hooks
    • Breaking changes from v1
  2. Snippet Groups
    • Required
      snippet-group
      attribute
    • Organized in categories
    • XPath targets
      //div[@id='snippet_structure']
  3. Bootstrap 5.1.3
    • All use same Bootstrap version
    • Consistent utility classes
  4. Website Builder Enhancements
    • Theme browsing in editor
    • Custom font upload via UI
    • Enhanced snippet options

Bootstrap 4 to 5 Migration (Odoo 14/15 → 16+)

When migrating themes:
  1. Class Replacements:
    python
    python scripts/bootstrap_mapper.py <old_classes>
    Common replacements:
    • ml-*
      ms-*
      (margin-left → margin-start)
    • mr-*
      me-*
      (margin-right → margin-end)
    • pl-*
      ps-*
      (padding-left → padding-start)
    • pr-*
      pe-*
      (padding-right → padding-end)
    • text-left
      text-start
    • text-right
      text-end
    • float-left
      float-start
    • float-right
      float-end
    • form-group
      mb-3
    • custom-select
      form-select
    • close
      btn-close
    • badge-*
      bg-*
      (e.g.,
      badge-primary
      bg-primary
      )
    • font-weight-bold
      fw-bold
    • sr-only
      visually-hidden
    • no-gutters
      g-0
  2. Removed Classes (find alternatives):
    • form-inline
      - Use grid/flex utilities
    • jumbotron
      - Recreate with utilities
    • media
      - Use
      d-flex
      with flex utilities
  3. jQuery Removal:
    • Bootstrap 5 uses vanilla JavaScript
    • May need to adjust widget initialization

Frontend Performance Best Practices

  1. Asset Bundling
    • Always use Odoo's asset bundles
    • Don't link external files individually
    • Leverage minification (enabled in production)
  2. Lazy Loading
    • Use
      loading="lazy"
      on images
    • Leverage Odoo's
      /website/image
      route for auto-resizing
    • Lazy load videos (Odoo 18+ has built-in support)
  3. Optimize Snippets
    • Batch server calls (one RPC for all data)
    • Use QWeb for efficient rendering
    • Minimize DOM manipulation
  4. CSS Optimization
    • Use Bootstrap utilities instead of custom CSS
    • Keep HTML structure lean
    • Remove unused CSS/JS from bundles
  5. Caching
    • Utilize computed fields with
      store=True
    • Cache expensive computations
    • Do heavy work server-side
  6. SEO Considerations
    • Server-render critical content
    • Use Owl for enhancements, not primary content
    • Ensure fast load times

Security & Access Control

Model-Level Access

Always create
security/ir.model.access.csv
:
csv
id,name,model_id:id,group_id:id,perm_read,perm_write,perm_create,perm_unlink
access_model_user,model.user,model_model_name,base.group_user,1,1,1,0
access_model_public,model.public,model_model_name,,1,0,0,0

Record-Level Rules

Create
security/rules.xml
for fine-grained control:
xml
<record id="model_rule" model="ir.rule">
    <field name="name">Model: User own records</field>
    <field name="model_id" ref="model_model_name"/>
    <field name="domain_force">[('user_id', '=', user.id)]</field>
    <field name="groups" eval="[(4, ref('base.group_user'))]"/>
</record>

Controller Security

python
from odoo import http

class MyController(http.Controller):
    @http.route('/public/route', auth='public')  # No login required
    def public_route(self):
        pass

    @http.route('/user/route', auth='user')  # Login required
    def user_route(self):
        pass

Safe Data Exposure

python
undefined

Use sudo() carefully

records = request.env['model'].sudo().search([('published', '=', True)])

Check access rights

if not request.env['model'].check_access_rights('read', raise_exception=False): return request.redirect('/access-denied')
undefined

Common Workflows

Create Complete Theme from Figma

  1. User provides Figma URL
  2. Detect target Odoo version
  3. Use Figma MCP to extract design
  4. Generate theme module structure
  5. Convert colors to SCSS variables
  6. Convert components to snippets
  7. Create snippet options
  8. Test in Odoo Website Builder

Extend Existing Theme

  1. Detect current theme and version
  2. Analyze existing structure
  3. Create inheriting module
  4. Override specific templates
  5. Add custom snippets
  6. Extend SCSS variables

Migrate Theme Across Versions

  1. Detect source and target versions
  2. Convert Bootstrap classes (if 4→5)
  3. Update snippet structure (if 17→18/19)
  4. Update JavaScript (if Owl v1→v2)
  5. Test all functionality
  6. Generate migration report

Testing & Validation

Theme Installation Test

bash
undefined

Install theme

python -m odoo -c conf/<config>.conf -d <db> -i theme_<name> --stop-after-init

Check for errors in log

grep ERROR odoo.log
undefined

Snippet Registration Test

  1. Install theme
  2. Go to Website → Edit
  3. Check snippets panel
  4. Verify snippet appears in correct category
  5. Test drag-and-drop
  6. Test snippet options

Browser Testing

  1. Test in multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
  2. Test responsive breakpoints (sm, md, lg, xl, xxl)
  3. Validate accessibility (ARIA labels, keyboard navigation)
  4. Check performance (Lighthouse, Page Speed)

Troubleshooting

⚠️ SCSS Compilation Errors (CRITICAL)

Issue: "Undefined variable: $o-color-palettes" or "$o-theme-font-configs"
Cause: Using
map-merge()
with core Odoo variables in theme SCSS. Theme files load BEFORE core variables are defined.
Solution:
  1. Remove ALL
    map-merge()
    calls with core variables
  2. Define
    $o-theme-font-configs
    as standalone (no merge)
  3. Use
    'color-palettes-name': 'default-1'
    to reference existing palettes
  4. See "CRITICAL: SCSS Load Order" section above
Issue: CSS showing 0 rules / Styles not loading
Cause: Silent SCSS compilation failure due to undefined variables.
Diagnosis:
javascript
// In browser console
document.styleSheets[0].cssRules.length  // Should be > 0
// If 0, SCSS compilation failed silently
Solution:
  1. Check browser console for "Style compilation failed" errors
  2. Fix undefined variable errors (see above)
  3. Clear asset cache:
python
undefined

Via Odoo shell

self.env['ir.attachment'].search([('url', 'like', '/web/assets/')]).unlink() self.env.cr.commit()

**Issue: Malformed Google Fonts URL**

**Cause:** Using `ir.asset` records for external font URLs causes URL duplication.

**Solution:** Use `$o-theme-font-configs` in SCSS instead of `ir.asset` XML records.

Snippet Not Appearing

Causes:
  • Incorrect XPath (version mismatch)
  • Missing group attribute (Odoo 18/19)
  • Template not found
  • Syntax error in XML
Solutions:
  1. Check Odoo version and use correct insertion method
  2. Verify template ID exists
  3. Check XML syntax
  4. Look for errors in log

Styles Not Applying

Causes:
  • SCSS not included in correct bundle
  • Variable override not using
    !default
  • CSS specificity issues
  • Asset not compiled
  • SCSS compilation failed silently (check console!)
Solutions:
  1. Verify asset bundle in manifest
  2. Clear browser cache
  3. Check asset regeneration:
    odoo-bin --update theme_<name>
  4. Use browser DevTools to inspect computed styles
  5. Check console for SCSS errors first!

JavaScript Not Working

Causes:
  • Import path incorrect for Odoo version
  • Widget not registered
  • jQuery conflicts (Bootstrap 5)
  • Owl version mismatch
Solutions:
  1. Check import paths for Odoo version
  2. Verify widget/component registration
  3. Check console for errors
  4. Ensure correct Owl version usage

XPath Errors in Header/Footer Templates

Cause: Complex XPath expressions like
//header//nav
may not match Odoo's actual HTML structure.
Solution: Use simple XPath expressions:
xml
<!-- ✅ CORRECT: Simple XPath -->
<xpath expr="//header" position="attributes">

<!-- ❌ WRONG: Complex XPath may not match -->
<xpath expr="//header//nav" position="attributes">

Expert Tips

  1. Always Use Version Detection First
    • Don't assume Odoo version
    • Check before generating any code
  2. Prefer Bootstrap Utilities
    • Less custom CSS = easier maintenance
    • Better performance
    • Editor-compatible
  3. Server-Side Rendering for SEO
    • Don't rely on client-side JS for content
    • Use Owl for enhancements only
  4. Test in Edit Mode
    • Ensure Website Builder can handle your code
    • Test snippet options thoroughly
  5. Follow Odoo Patterns
    • Study core themes (
      odoo/addons/theme_*
      )
    • Match existing conventions
    • Use same class prefixes (
      s_
      ,
      o_
      )
  6. Documentation
    • Comment complex SCSS
    • Document snippet options
    • Provide README for theme

Workflow:
  1. Generate Service Worker
    javascript
    // static/src/service-worker.js
    const CACHE_NAME = 'odoo-pwa-v1';
    const urlsToCache = ['/', '/web/static/lib/owl/owl.js'];
    
    self.addEventListener('install', event => {
      event.waitUntil(
        caches.open(CACHE_NAME)
          .then(cache => cache.addAll(urlsToCache))
      );
    });
    
    self.addEventListener('fetch', event => {
      event.respondWith(
        caches.match(event.request)
          .then(response => response || fetch(event.request))
      );
    });
  2. Create Web App Manifest
    json
    {
      "name": "Odoo PWA",
      "short_name": "OdooPWA",
      "start_url": "/",
      "display": "standalone",
      "background_color": "#875A7B",
      "theme_color": "#875A7B",
      "icons": [...]
    }
  3. Register Service Worker
    javascript
    /** @odoo-module **/
    import publicWidget from "@web/legacy/js/public/public_widget";
    
    publicWidget.registry.ServiceWorkerRegistration = publicWidget.Widget.extend({
      selector: 'body',
      start: function() {
        if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
          navigator.serviceWorker.register('/service-worker.js');
        }
        return this._super(...arguments);
      }
    });

Modern JavaScript & TypeScript

        "lib": ["ES2020", "DOM"],
        "strict": true,
        "paths": {
          "@web/*": ["./addons/web/static/src/*"],
          "@owl/*": ["./addons/web/static/lib/owl/*"]
        }
      }
    }
  2. Create Typed Owl Component
    typescript
    /** @odoo-module **/
    import { Component, useState } from "@odoo/owl";
    
    interface ProductProps {
      id: number;
      name: string;
      price: number;
    }
    
    export class ProductComponent extends Component<ProductProps> {
      static template = xml`...`;
    
      setup() {
        this.state = useState({ loading: false });
      }
    }

ES2020+ Patterns

Use modern JavaScript features:
javascript
// Optional chaining
const userName = this.props.user?.profile?.name;

// Nullish coalescing
const displayName = userName ?? 'Guest User';

// Dynamic imports
const module = await import('./HeavyFeatureComponent');

// Private class fields
class SecureWidget {
  #apiKey = null;
  #generateKey() {
    return crypto.randomUUID();
  }
}

Theme Feature Activation System (CRITICAL)

Overview: The theme.utils Model

When creating a theme, you MUST include a models/theme_xxx.py file that implements the
theme.utils
pattern. This allows your theme to:
  • Enable/disable header templates
  • Enable/disable footer templates
  • Activate optional features on theme installation
  • Configure the theme's default appearance

Required File Structure

Mutual Exclusivity Rules

Headers: Only ONE primary header template can be active at a time. When you
enable_view()
a header, Odoo automatically handles deactivating others.
Footers: Only ONE primary footer template can be active at a time. Same automatic handling.
Header Options: Alignment variants, visibility effects, and components can be combined with the active header.

Complete Example: Modern Business Theme

python
from odoo import models

class ThemeModernBusiness(models.AbstractModel):
    _inherit = 'theme.utils'

    def _theme_modern_business_post_copy(self, mod):
        """Configure Modern Business theme defaults."""

        # === HEADER CONFIGURATION ===
        # Use hamburger header with centered mobile
        self.enable_view('website.template_header_hamburger')
        self.enable_view('website.template_header_hamburger_mobile_align_center')

        # Fixed header that disappears on scroll
        self.disable_view('website.header_visibility_standard')
        self.enable_view('website.header_visibility_disappears')

        # Show logo, not brand name
        self.enable_view('website.option_header_brand_logo')
        self.disable_view('website.option_header_brand_name')

        # === FOOTER CONFIGURATION ===
        # Use contact footer with call-to-action style
        self.enable_view('website.template_footer_contact')

        # Enable scroll-to-top button
        # (This is configured in $o-website-values-palettes, not via views)

        # === OPTIONAL FEATURES ===
        # Enable search in header
        self.enable_view('website.header_search_box')

        # Enable social links
        self.enable_view('website.header_social_links')

ElementWhat to Look ForMaps To
Primary ColorMain brand color (buttons, links, CTAs)
o-color-1
Secondary ColorAccent color, secondary buttons
o-color-2
Light BackgroundSection backgrounds, cards
o-color-3
White/BaseMain content background
o-color-4
Dark/TextHeadings, footer, dark sections
o-color-5
Font FamilyBody text, headings
$o-theme-font-configs
Header StyleNavigation layout
'header-template'
Footer StyleFooter layout
'footer-template'

Step 2: Match Header Style

If Design Has...Use Template
Standard horizontal nav
template_header_default
Hidden menu (hamburger icon)
template_header_hamburger
Full-width stretched nav
template_header_stretch
Vertical sidebar navigation
template_header_vertical
Prominent search bar
template_header_search
E-commerce with categories
template_header_sales_two
Top bar + main nav
template_header_sales_one
Sidebar with content
template_header_sidebar
Rounded/boxed container
template_header_boxed

Step 3: Match Footer Style

If Design Has...Use Template
Multi-column with logo
footer_custom
(default)
Detailed company info
template_footer_descriptive
Center-aligned minimal
template_footer_centered
Multiple link columns only

template_footer_minimalist
Contact info focus
template_footer_contact
Newsletter/CTA focus
template_footer_call_to_action
Large headline text
template_footer_headline
Modern slide-out effect
template_footer_slideout

Step 4: Generate Theme Configuration

Based on analysis, create the configuration:
scss
// primary_variables.scss - Generated from Figma Analysis

$o-theme-font-configs: (
    'Poppins': (
        'family': ('Poppins', sans-serif),
        'url': 'Poppins:300,400,500,600,700',
    ),
);

$o-website-values-palettes: (
    (
        'color-palettes-name': 'default-1',

        // Typography (from Figma)
        'font': 'Poppins',
        'headings-font': 'Poppins',

        // Header (matched to closest template)
        'header-template': 'hamburger',  // Figma shows hamburger menu
        'header-links-style': 'pills',   // Rounded pill-style links
        'logo-height': 48px,

        // Footer (matched to closest template)
        'footer-template': 'contact',    // Figma shows contact-focused footer
        'footer-scrolltop': true,

        // Buttons (from Figma measurements)
        'btn-padding-y': 0.75rem,
        'btn-padding-x': 1.5rem,
        'btn-border-radius': 8px,

        // Layout
        'link-underline': 'never',
    )
);

Step 5: Create theme.utils Implementation

python
undefined

models/theme_yourtheme.py

from odoo import models
class ThemeYourTheme(models.AbstractModel): _inherit = 'theme.utils'
def _theme_yourtheme_post_copy(self, mod):
    # Enable matched header template
    self.enable_view('website.template_header_hamburger')
    self.enable_view('website.template_header_hamburger_mobile_align_center')

    # Enable matched footer template
    self.enable_view('website.template_footer_contact')

    # Enable desired header components
    self.enable_view('website.option_header_brand_logo')
    self.enable_view('website.header_search_box')

    # Configure visibility effect
    self.disable_view('website.header_visibility_standard')
    self.enable_view('website.header_visibility_fixed')
undefined

📋 SNIPPET JAVASCRIPT INTEGRATION

publicWidget Pattern for Snippets

javascript
/** @odoo-module **/

import publicWidget from "@web/legacy/js/public/public_widget";

publicWidget.registry.MySnippet = publicWidget.Widget.extend({
    selector: '.s_my_snippet',
    disabledInEditableMode: false,  // Allow in website builder

    events: {

📋 CREATING DYNAMIC SNIPPETS

Step 1: Define the Filter

xml
<record id="dynamic_filter_my_items" model="website.snippet.filter">
    <field name="name">My Items</field>
    <field name="model_name">my.model</field>
    <field name="limit">12</field>
    <field name="filter_id" ref="ir_filter_my_items"/>
</record>

<record id="ir_filter_my_items" model="ir.filters">
    <field name="name">Latest Items</field>
    <field name="model_id">my.model</field>
    <field name="domain">[('is_published', '=', True)]</field>
    <field name="sort">create_date desc</field>
</record>

Step 2: Create Display Template

xml
<template id="dynamic_filter_template_my_model_card" name="My Model Card">
    <t t-foreach="records" t-as="record">
        <div class="col-lg-4 mb-4">
            <div class="card h-100 shadow-sm">
                <img t-att-src="record.image_url" class="card-img-top"/>
                <div class="card-body">
                    <h5 class="card-title" t-esc="record.name"/>
                    <p class="card-text" t-esc="record.description"/>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </t>
</template>

Step 3: Create Dynamic Snippet

xml
<template id="s_dynamic_my_items" name="Dynamic My Items">
    <section class="s_dynamic_snippet s_dynamic_my_items pt48 pb48"
             data-snippet="s_dynamic_my_items"
             data-name="Dynamic My Items"
             data-filter-id="my_module.dynamic_filter_my_items"
             data-template-key="my_module.dynamic_filter_template_my_model_card"
             data-number-of-elements="6"
             data-number-of-elements-small-devices="2">
        <div class="container">
            <div class="row">
                <h2 class="col-12 text-center mb-4">Featured Items</h2>
            </div>
            <div class="dynamic_snippet_template row"/>
        </div>
    </section>
</template>

Updated /create-theme Command (v6.0)

The
/create-theme
command now automatically generates the
models/theme_xxx.py
file with template activation.
