Odoo Auto Reload Calendar View
Keep Your Calendar Always Up to Date - Automatically
A lightweight, zero-configuration module that adds an Auto Reload button directly to the Odoo Calendar toolbar. Set a reload interval of 5, 10, 20 minutes or a custom value. A live countdown badge shows exactly when the next refresh will fire. Fully safe - the reload is blocked while you interact with events.

Powerful Features of Auto Reload Calendar View
Everything you need to keep your Odoo calendar view always fresh, safe, and configurable
Auto Reload Button in Toolbar
A clean "Auto Reload" button is injected directly into the Odoo Calendar toolbar, right next to the Today button. When active, the icon spins and a live countdown badge shows the time remaining until the next reload.
Configurable Intervals
Choose from preset intervals of 5, 10, or 20 minutes, or enter any custom value (e.g. 0.5 for 30 seconds). Settings are saved to localStorage and restored automatically when you return to the calendar.
Live Countdown Badge
A real-time countdown badge on the button (e.g. "4m 32s") shows exactly when the next reload will happen. The counter is paused silently while doing any changes.
Persistent Settings
Your chosen interval and enabled/disabled state are saved to localStorage. When you navigate away and return to the calendar, the auto reload resumes exactly where you left it - no reconfiguration needed.
Dialog Aware
Reload is automatically skipped whenever an Odoo dialog is open (e.g. event create/edit forms). The countdown continues ticking but no data fetch is performed until the dialog is closed.
How Auto Reload Calendar View Works
Get started in three simple steps
Install the Module
Install the Auto Reload Calendar View module from the Odoo Apps menu. No extra configuration or dependencies required - works with any standard Odoo 17 Calendar view out of the box.
Open the Calendar
Go to any Odoo Calendar view (CRM, Project, Leaves, etc.). You will see the "Auto Reload" button with a refresh icon in the toolbar next to the Today button.
Choose Your Interval
Click the button to open the dropdown. Check 5, 10, or 20 minutes, or enter a custom value. The calendar reloads automatically - you never need to refresh manually again.
Reload Interval Options
Preset options for quick setup, plus a fully custom interval for any workflow

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does it work on all Odoo Calendar views?
Yes. The module patches CalendarController and CalendarCommonRenderer which are the base components for every calendar view in Odoo 17 - CRM activities, Project tasks, Time Off, Appointments, and any custom calendar built on the same base.
Q: What is the minimum reload interval I can set?
The minimum enforced by the module is 0.1 minutes (6 seconds). In practice the custom input accepts any positive decimal, so you can enter 0.5 for a 30-second reload cycle.
Q: Are my interval settings saved between sessions?
Yes. The enabled state, interval value, and preset selection are all saved to localStorage. They are restored automatically every time the calendar loads, so your settings persist across browser sessions without any server-side storage.
Q: Does the reload fire while I have an event form open?
No. The module checks for any open Odoo dialog before every reload attempt. If a form or any dialog is open, the reload is skipped for that tick and retried on the next countdown cycle.
Q: Does it work on Odoo Enterprise as well as Community?
Yes. The module patches standard Odoo web framework components which are present in both Community and Enterprise editions of Odoo 17.
