odoo-addon-mail-layout-force 16.0.1.0.0.3

Force a mail layout on selected email templates

Odoo will add a default email layout on most commercial communications.

The email layout is a QWeb view that ends up wrapping the message body when sending an email. It usually displays the related document reference, the company logo, and a small footer saying “Powered by Odoo”.

There are notably two main layouts used in Odoo, and the user can’t control when they’re used, as it’s hardcoded into the different applications.

• mail.mail_notification_light

• mail.mail_notification_paynow

This module allows to force a specific layout for a given email.template, effectively overwritting the one hardcoded by Odoo.

This allows you to fully customize the way Odoo emails are rendered and sent to your customers.

Configuration

# Go to Configuration > Technical > Emails > Templates # Open the desired email.template record. # In Advanced Parameters tab, find the Force Layout field.

You can leave it empty to use the default email layout (chosen by Odoo). You can force a custom email layout of your own. You can use the Mail: No-Layout notification template to prevent Odoo from adding a layout.

To configure a custom layout of your own, some technical knowledge is needed. You can see how the existing layouts are defined for details or inspiration:

• mail.mail_notification_light

• mail.mail_notification_paynow

• mail.mail_notification_borders
