Chatter Sidebar Right
Keep backend form chatter aligned on the right side in wide Odoo layouts with an optional per-user preference in Odoo 18.
Overview
This module ensures that form chatter remains on the right side only for users who enable the chatter lock in their preferences.
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
- Adds a user preference on
res.users - Passes the flag through session info
- Gates the frontend override per user
Main Features
Right Sidebar
Keeps aside chatter on the right for enabled users.
Desktop Focused
Targets wide layouts where Odoo uses side chatter.
User Wise
Lets each user decide whether the chatter lock should apply.
How It Works
- The user enables the chatter lock in preferences
- The flag is loaded into the web client session
- The module adjusts the form layout only when that flag is enabled
- 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 Chatter Sidebar Right
- Enable the preference on the user and reload before checking the sidebar placement
Support and Customization
This version already includes a user-specific toggle for the chatter lock. Additional role-based or company-based control can be added if needed.
