📌 Pin Chatter Message

Keep your most important messages always visible at the top of the chatter. Pin any message on any Odoo form view — never lose critical information in a long thread again.

Odoo 19 Any Form View Chatter Messages No Configuration

✨ Key Features

📌

Pin Any Message

Open the action menu on any chatter message to pin it instantly. Pinned messages float to the top so they are always the first thing you see.
🔓

Easy Unpin

Unpin just as easily — click the same action and choose "Unpin Message". The message returns to its original chronological position immediately.
🌐

Works on Every Form

Sales Orders, Invoices, Purchase Orders, Contacts, Projects, Helpdesk tickets, HR leaves, and any custom model — everywhere a chatter exists.
🎨

Clear Visual Indicator

Pinned messages are highlighted with a distinctive amber left border and subtle background tint — immediately identifiable at a glance.

⚡

Instant & Persistent

Pin state is saved to the database and survives page reloads and session changes. Every user sees the pinned message at the top.
🔒

Access Controlled

Only users with write access to a message can pin or unpin it — respecting Odoo's existing access rules without any additional configuration.

💡 The pinned message always stays at the top — no matter how many messages are added below it. The amber left border makes it instantly recognisable.

🚀 How to Use It

1

Open any record with a chatter

Navigate to any form view — a Sale Order, Invoice, Contact, Project Task, or any other record that has a chatter panel.

2

Hover over the message you want to pin

Hover over any message in the chatter to reveal the message action icons in the top-right corner of the message.

3

Click the pin icon or the "…" menu

Click the thumbtack icon directly, or open the "More actions" dropdown and select Pin Message.

4

The message jumps to the top

The message immediately moves to the top of the chatter with an amber highlight. All users see it pinned when they open the record.

5

Unpin when done

Hover the message and click the same action — now labelled Unpin Message. The message returns to its original position in the thread.

📦 Installation

  1. Download the Module — place cons_pin_chatter_message in your Odoo addons directory.
  2. Update Apps List — go to Apps → Update Apps List.
  3. Install — search for Pin Chatter Message and click Install.
  4. Start Pinning — no configuration needed. Open any form view and start immediately.
Zero configuration required. Works out of the box on every form view with a chatter. No settings, no XML changes, no model inheritance needed.

🛠️ Technical Notes

No New Database Column

Reuses the existing pinned_at field Odoo 19 already defines on mail.message. No schema migration, no extra storage overhead.

Write-Date Safe

Pin/unpin uses a direct SQL update — same as Odoo core's channel pin — so the message write_date is never bumped.

Discuss App Unaffected

The sort patch is scoped to env.inChatter only. The Discuss channel interface and its own pin mechanism are completely unaffected.

Never Lose an Important Message Again

Install Pin Chatter Message and keep critical information front and centre in every Odoo record.
