URL shortening is a well-known methodology to cope with too long and ugly-looking web addresses. The app introduces this technique in Odoo by allowing website editors to manually or automatically generate, control, and administrate short and SEO-friendly URLs for any Odoo web links.
Branded links
Introduce memorable and human-readable URLs of the type '/s/[token]' for any Odoo website address. What is preferable to share: example.com/s/desk or example.com/shop/customizable-desk-config-9#attr=7,4,47?
Automatic or custom URLs
Configure the rules for automatic creation of short URLs based on iterator and token (for example, /s/12 and /s/rh72ko) or apply your own SEO-friendly key words (for example, /s/desk, /s/best-chairs)
Short URLs for any link types
The app works equally for dynamic controllers (e.g., a product page or even store pages with chosen filters) and static website pages (including custom ones). Also, the shortener might redirect to the page translations.
QR codes for website links
Each short URL peers with an automatic QR code image that might be downloaded, shared or added to Odoo website pages
Multi channels control
Have as many short links for a single address as needed for various purposes. Share one on Facebook, another - on Twitter, and a special one - for specific partners. Then, count redirects for each source.
Comfortable administration
Use the URL shortener right while customizing the website or in Odoo's advanced backend. Make a link soon expired or forever-lasting. Update tokens at any moment or archive short links if it is no anymore valid
Website snippets
The app introduces the special website snippets which might be added to any Odoo website's inner content. Such a snippet will find or create a short URL or URL QR code right when a visitor opens a page
Available for scripts and custom add-ons
Developers might use the app to find or create a short URL or QR code image for a target website address by applying a single Python method.
URL shortener administration
Website interface for short URLs
-
To start managing short links click on Customize > Short URLs from any page. It might be any link, including a dynamic controller (e.g. a blog post) and a static and custom website page
-
The app would automatically retrieve a target web address with all search and hash parameters from a browser. Change this redirect URL if needed: available short links would be recalculated
-
Create new short links based on the default tokens or custom keywords. Archive obsolete URLs
-
Update existing addresses: change token, assign expiration date, apply to this website or to all sites (the app fully supports Odoo multi-website mode)
Advanced backend links' editor
-
Find all short links by all websites under the menu Websites > Settings > Short URLs
-
Group by website or target URL (there might be multiple short links for each). Archive or restore links in batch
-
Create a new short URL in a few seconds: the only thing required is to introduce a target web address
-
Apply flexible settings: validity date to make a link auto expired, notes to always know why this URL has been introduced, website to restrict usage for a specific site or to use a link globally.
Automatic short URLs generation
-
It is not always possible to prepare a branded URL for each address. For example, when you have thousands of website pages. For such cases define a default automatic method
-
Use the 'iterator' to generate a link with a succeeding number at the end. For instance, 'example.com/s/112'. The app would automatically increment a number when a new short URL is registered
-
Use the 'token' approach to generate a unique symbols row of a predefined length (it should not be less than 5 symbols to have enough unique combinations). For instance, 'example.com/s/uo71jh'
-
A default short URL would be entered as soon as you decide to create a new redirection. Simultaneously, you can always change that to a custom sentence or create a new alternative short URL. Do that for the most important addresses, addresses you would like to print on your business cards, addresses that are assumed to enter manually, etc.
Short URLs for developers
Using short URLs in scripts
-
While developing a custom add-on, script, or server action you might be interested to have a short URL for certain website addresses. The tool lets us do that efficiently
-
To that end you should trigger the method 'action_find_surl' of the model 'short.url.redirect'
-
As arguments it should receive:
target_url- string - relative web path. E.g. "/shop/customizable-desk-config-9#attr=7,4,47)"tocreate- boolean - whether to create a new short URL if none exists for the target URLalwaysvalid- boolean - whether to search short URLs without expiration or yet valid but soon expired links are also finewebsite_id- integer - if False the app would search only global URLs, otherwise also of a specific website (applicable for the multi-website mode)qr_base_url- boolean - if False the method would return a final URL, if True - a QR code content. -
The method would return a string - a found short URL (e.g. '/s/desk'), a binary content of a QR code, or False if nothing is found.
-
For instance:
my_short_url = self.env["short.url.redirect"].action_find_surl("/shop/customizable-desk-config-9#attr=7,4,47", True, True, 1, False)
Website Snippet for auto short links
-
The website menu 'Customize' and the backend menu 'Short URLs' are available only for Odoo website designers. For certain pages, you might be interested to show a short link for simple visitors as well
-
To that goal, you might drag and drop the special website editor snippets 'Short URLs' and 'Short URL QR Code'
-
The snippet 'Short URLs' adds a text block with a short link. Alternatively, you may add an XML line with the tag
awith the HREF"#"and the class"short_url_widget" -
The snippet 'Short URL QR Code' adds a QR code image that you may customize using the standard Odoo website designer tools
-
Each time a page with such a snippet is opened, a short URL will be searched and - if not found - created. In this way, you may show a visitor a valid short URL or its QR code, which he/she might copy, share, and scan
-
Take into account: the snippets search only for always valid global short URLs.
According to the current Odoo Apps Store policies:
- Every module bought for version 12.0 and prior gives you access to all versions up to 12.0.
- Starting from version 13.0, every module version should be purchased separately.
- Disregarding the version, purchasing a tool grants you a right to all updates and bug fixes within a major version.
Please note that the faOtools team does not control those policies. For all questions, please contact the Odoo Apps Store representatives directly.
The most straightforward approach is to use the Odoo store's built-in workflow:
1. Open the module's page and click the button Deploy on odoo.sh
2. After that, you will be redirected to the GitHub page. Log in to your account and click 'Create a new repo' or use the existing one. Please make sure that your repository is private. It is not permitted to publish the apps under the OPL-1 license. If necessary, create a new repo for your Odoo.sh project
3. Then, go to odoo.sh and click the Deploy button. In the pop-up window, submit the decision and click 'Continue.' This action will trigger the installation process.
These steps will install the app for your project's production branch. If you want to deploy the apps for other branches or update the module, you should undertake the following actions:
1. Upload the source code for the app from the Odoo store
2. Commit the module to a required GitHub repository. Ensure that none of the app folders/files are ignored (included in the .gitignore of your repo). Repositories are automatically created by odoo.sh, which might add some crucial items there (e.g. /lib) by default. You should upload all module directories, subdirectories, and files without exceptions
3. Deploy a target branch of the odoo.sh project or, if your settings assume that, wait until it is automatically built.
2. Re-start the Odoo server;
3. Turn on developer mode (technical settings);
4. Update the apps' list (the apps' menu);
5. Find the app and push the button 'Activate'/'Install';
6. Follow the guidelines on the app's page if those exist.
Yes, sure. Simultaneously, Odoo automatically adds all dependencies to a cart, so you should exclude previously purchased tools to avoid double payment.
A red/orange warning does not influence the app's features. Regretfully, sometimes our modules do not pass standard automatic tests since the latter assume behavior that conflicts with our app's goals. For example, we change the price calculation, while the standard Odoo module tests compare the final price to a standard algorithm.
So, first of all, please check the deployed database features. Does everything work correctly?
If you still assume that the warning influences real features, please contact us and forward full installation logs and the full list of deployed modules (including core and third-party ones).
No, we only distribute the tools through the official Odoo apps store.
Regretfully, we do not have the technical means to provide individual prices.
No, third-party apps can not be used on Odoo Online. Unfortunately, Odoo SaaS blocks such a possibility.
Yes, our tool requires all modules marked in dependencies to work correctly. The price marked on the app page already includes all necessary dependencies.
The price for our modules is set in euros. The Odoo store converts prices to other currencies according to its internal exchange rate. Thus, the price in US Dollars may change when the exchange rate is updated.
