Chatter Sidebar Right
Keep backend form chatter aligned on the right side in wide Odoo layouts with a user-wise preference toggle for Odoo 19.
Overview
This module ensures that form chatter remains on the right side only for users who enable the preference in their Odoo profile.
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 one user preference field
- Uses session info for user-wise behavior
- Keeps the frontend patch focused and lightweight
Main Features
Right Sidebar
Forces aside chatter to remain on the right.
Desktop Focused
Targets wide layouts where Odoo uses side chatter.
User Wise
Each user can decide whether the right-side chatter should apply.
How It Works
- The user enables the preference from the user form or preferences popup
- The module exposes that choice through session info
- The frontend patch activates only for enabled users
- 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 Lock Chatter on the Right for the user
- Reload the web client and verify the sidebar placement
Support and Customization
