Chatter Sidebar Right
Keep backend form chatter aligned on the right side in wide Odoo layouts with a minimal and responsive frontend-only module.
Overview
This module ensures that form chatter remains on the right side for users who enable the preference in Odoo on medium and large screens.
Why Use It?
- Keeps a predictable reading flow in form views
- Helps teams that prefer a fixed chatter sidebar
- Avoids heavy customization for a simple UI requirement
Implementation Style
- One lightweight user preference field
- Session-based frontend activation
- Small JS and SCSS override only
Main Features
Right Sidebar
Keeps form chatter locked on the right when enabled.
Per User Control
Each user can enable or disable the right-side chatter lock.
Lightweight
Introduces only a minimal asset-level layout change.
How It Works
- The user enables Lock Chatter on the Right in preferences
- The flag is exposed to the backend web session
- The module adjusts the compiled form and chatter layout only for that user
- Chatter stays in the second slot, which keeps it on the right
Installation
- Copy the module to your custom addons path
- Restart the Odoo server
- Update the apps list
- Install or upgrade Chatter Sidebar Right
- Open user preferences and enable Lock Chatter on the Right
- Reload the web client and verify the chatter sidebar placement
Support and Customization
This version already supports user-specific control from Odoo preferences. Additional custom behavior can still be added if needed.
