⚙️ ODOO 18 EXTRA TOOLS

Chatter Position

(Custom)

Take full control of where the chatter panel appears on Odoo forms — sided, bottom, or automatic. Includes a vibrant, modern colorful chatter theme out of the box.

📦   v18.0.1.0.0 🏢   SDLC Corp 📄   LGPL-3 🧩   Extra Tools ⚡   3 Layouts

Three Layout Options

Pick Your Perfect Chatter Position

Every user can independently choose how their forms are laid out. The preference is saved per-user and persists across sessions.

🔄

Automatic

Default Odoo behavior. Adapts intelligently based on screen size and form context — the safe, no-surprises choice.

📑

Sided DEFAULT

Chatter lives on the right as a dedicated sidebar on XXL screens. Switches gracefully to bottom on smaller displays.

⬇

Bottom

Full-width form content with chatter docked below. Ideal for data-dense forms where you need maximum horizontal space.

Everything Included

Key Features

A single lightweight module that ships with powerful layout control and a beautiful visual refresh of the chatter interface.

🎨

Colorful Chatter Theme

Gradient purple-to-pink header, vibrant action buttons (cyan Send, amber Notes, green Activities), and rainbow avatar rings.

👤

Per-User Preference

Each user can pick their own layout from their profile. No admin intervention required — set it and forget it.

📱

Responsive by Design

Sided layout automatically collapses to bottom on smaller screens (< XXL breakpoint) for a seamless mobile/tablet experience.

💾

Persistent Settings

Preference stored in the res.users model — survives logouts and works across devices.

⚡

Zero Configuration

Install and it just works. "Sided" is the default, giving users an immediate upgrade over stock Odoo behavior.

🧩

Clean Integration

Patches the FormCompiler prototype non-destructively. Plays nicely with all other modules and customizations.

🎨 A Chatter That Actually Pops

Beyond layout, this module brings a fresh, modern visual language to the messaging interface. Every element has been refined for better hierarchy, readability, and delight.

Rainbow avatar rings (6-color rotation)
Styled message bubbles with hover effects

📱 Smart Responsive Behavior

The Sided layout is smart. On XXL screens (1400px+), chatter sits comfortably on the right as a sidebar. Drop below that breakpoint and it gracefully flows to the bottom — no cramped panels, no broken forms.

Bottom layout gives forms the full horizontal canvas on every device.

Under the Hood

How It Works

A clean 3-layer architecture: Python model extension, JavaScript form compiler patch, and SCSS styling.

1

Save Preference

User picks a position in their preferences. It's stored in res.users.chatter_position.

2

Inject into Client

The web bootstrap template exposes the value as odoo.web_chatter_position on page load.

3

Compile Forms

A patched FormCompiler dynamically reshapes the DOM — cloning, moving, and styling the chatter per the user's choice.

Setup in Seconds

How to Use

Installation is a breeze — and changing your chatter position takes exactly two clicks.

Install the Module

Go to Apps, remove the default "Apps" filter, search for "Chatter Position (Custom)", and click Install.

Open Your Preferences

Click your user avatar in the top-right corner and select Preferences (or open your full user profile from Settings → Users).

Choose Your Chatter Position

Find the Chatter section under Preferences. Select one of the three radio options: Automatic, Bottom, or Sided.

Refresh & Enjoy

Save and refresh your browser. Every form in Odoo now renders with the chatter in your preferred position.
