    Context-dependent values in System Parameters

    Adds multi-company and multi-website support for dozens features

    Version: v12.0.5.0.0


    Tested and maintained by
    IT Projects Labs
    Assitance: apps@itpp.dev

    Many applications don't have multi-company / multi-website support. Common reason is that ones are based on System Parameter, which is not context-dependent by default.
    Examples:
    • Paypal and other payments acquirers
    • Google drive integration
    • Google calendar integration

    Context-dependent values in System Parameters

    Installation

    • Install this module in a usual way
    • Make database backup (or at least ir.config_parameter table)

    Configuration

    • Open menu [[ Settings ]] >> General Settings
    • Activate [x] Multi Company - Manage multiple companies
    • Click [Apply]
    • Open menu [[ Settings ]] >> Users & Companies >> Users
    • Select your user
    • Add some companies to Allowed Companies field

    Usage

    • Activate Developer Mode
    • Open menu [[ Settings ]] >> Technical >> Parameters >> System Parameters
    • Choose some record or create new one
    • Set some value
    • Switch your user to another company
      • Click top right-hand button with your user name
      • Click Preferences
      • Set new value for Company field
      • Click [Save]
    • Set new value for the System Parameter record
    • Switch back to previous company
    • RESULT: Value of the System Parameter depends on current company

    Default values

    All system parameters created before module installation (as well as just created parameters) become default value for corresponding parameters. Example:

    • Before installation:
      • param1 = value1
      • param2 = value2
    • After installation:
      • param1 = value1 -- default value for param1
      • param2 = value2 -- default value for param2
    • Now if we switch to companyA and make following updates:
      • param1 = value11
    • And if we switch to companyB and make following updates:
      • param2 = value22
      • param3 = value3
    • Then for companyA we have
      • param1 = value11 (value for companyA)
      • param2 = value2 (default value)
      • param3 = value3 (default value)
    • Then for companyB we have
      • param1 = value1 (via default value)
      • param2 = value22 (value for companyB)
      • param3 = value3 (via default value)

    For understanding how multi-website values work see Documentation of web_website

    Company Properties

    For understanding which values are default and which are company dependent do as following:

    • Activate Developer Mode
    • Open menu [[ Settings ]] >> Technical >> Parameters >> Company Properties
    • Click [Group By] -> Field
    • Now you can find all records under Value (ir.config_parameter)

    Protected properties

    Following parameter is shared across all companies wherever it was changed:

    • database.expiration_date -- it's used in Odoo EE

    Reseting value for all companies

    • Activate Developer Mode

    • Go to [[ Settings ]] >> Technical >> Parameters >> Company Properties

    • Group records by Resource

    • Find group ir.config_parameter,<ID> for the Parameter you need. To get ID of the parameter do as following

      • Go to [[ Settings ]] >> Technical >> Parameters >> System Parameters

      • Open the Parameter you need

      • Check url of the page. It contains id value. In example below id is 3

        /web?debug#id=3&view_type=form&model=ir.config_parameter&menu_id=25&action=9

    • Select all values in the group except defaul one. Click [Action] -> Delete. Don't do anything if you have default value only.

    • Open default value and change the value if needed

    • Go to [[ Settings ]] >> Technical >> Parameters >> System Parameters

    • Check that the value for each company is reset and it matches the default value.

    Uninstallation

    On uninstallation parameter values are restored to Default values (see above). Nevertheless, it's recommended to follow steps below, if you are not sure, that those values are ones you need.

    • It's recommended to make database backup before uninstallating the module
    • Open menu [[ Settings ]] >> Technical >> Parameters >> System Parameters
    • Make Export of all records ([Action] -> Export) -- exporting only column value is enough.
    • Click [Import] button
    • Upload *.csv file
    • Click [Validate] -- it may take some time. It must not return errors!
    • Don't close current page!
    • Uninstall the module at another page
    • Return back to page with importing
    • Click [Import]
