Automatic folders' structure
Decide which Odoo document types should have their own folder trees. Directories are regularly updated based on flexible rules and existing Odoo objects
Sync with chosen cloud storage solutions
Synchronize chosen folders and files with specific cloud storage: Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Nextcloud, Dropbox, and ownCloud. Have as many connections as you need
File manager interface
Manage folders and attachments from a single view. Comfortably navigate by directories. Search and download files one by one or in batch. Upload and move attachments
Attachment box
Organize files of any Odoo object in a set of subfolders. Instantly access folders and files in the attachment box and in synced cloud interfaces
Automatic regular sync
Rely on auto-synchronization between Odoo and cloud solutions based on scheduled jobs. No manual interaction is required
Bilateral sync
Odoo sends attachments to cloud storage solutions and retrieves files from there. Binary content is kept in clouds, while Odoo provides direct access to synced items
Cloud synchronization history
Control sync logs right in Odoo. Export and share those in case of any issues. Be notified of any client disconnections
Enterprise documents compatible
Set up rules to prepare folders based on Odoo Enterprise workspaces. All features, including sharing, downloading, and signing, would work even after sync.
Works well with SharePoint. Supportive team
We've been using this with SharePoint and it's been working great. One of the best things is having everything, including logs right in Odoo's interface, so you can actually see what's going on. It's also super convenient that you can view or download synced files from the attachment box without having to leave the page or even log in to Sharepoint.
Setup was pretty smooth for us. When we had a few questions about setting up the folder hierarchy and priorities, the developer team got back to us in just a couple of hours and helped us figure it out. Great support and great extension!
Tricky setup, but works perfectly now
Really solid module. We managed to get a very flexible folder structure (sorted by clients) and synced all our sales orders, invoices and tasks by projects to Google Drive.
Initial setup was a bit of a pain and kinda tricky to configure everything at first, but now it's running smoothly and works perfectly. The faotools team helped a lot. Def worth it if u need to keep your docs organized in Odoo and Google Drive.
Recommended!
Great support, assistance and very good connector!
We are very happy with the support we received when configuring the Sharepoint - Odoo connector. The connector has great functionalities.
All our questions were answered very fast (within one day).
FaOtools helped us optimising our connector and assisted us with future improvements.
We really recommend this connector.
Great module and Great Support!
The module works great! and the support is phenomenal!
A must-buy if it suits your requirements!
very professional app, excellen t customer service
This app is very well programmed and does its job very well. But the best is the excellent customer service who also helps when the problem lies somewhere else. You receive a lot for your money.
Excellent !!!
Great App and great Service from faOtools.
An impressive app and world-class support
I have been very impressed by the way the OneDrive / SharePoint Odoo Integration module synchronises content in both directions and allows me to share documents in Odoo with my SharePoint site. Above all the technical support is top-notch, which greatly increases the value of this product. I highly recommend this product for anyone considering synchronising Odoo with SharePoint/OneDrive.
Very good product
A perfect solution to integrate Owncloud with Odoo. We sync a high volume of objects across multiple Odoo models, which works seamless and stable. For us it is the perfect solution to have an external DMS instead of the Odoo native attachment handling, which also enables us to interchange files between systems in our best-of-breed setup.
The team behind this module is extremely professional and responsive. They helped us on a few occasions and provided clear answers and prompt support when required, and they even went out of their way to assist us with another requirement we had. Cannot recommend the product and team highly enough, try this if you're in the market to connect Odoo with an external document solution.
Works fine, good support
The first experience with the module is excellent. I had some trouble to configure things right on the Microsoft-side, but the team provided quick and good support.
Best module for integration with google drive
The module performs its function correctly and faOtools responds quickly to any problem and, in case of detecting any bug, quickly apply the changes. Its support is 10 stars.
Works according to specs
I have used this app with Odoo 12 and Nextcloud 16 and it works as specified. Odoo Tools offers very responsive support which is really helpful. Of course 5 stars...!
This is Awesome
I have used Cloud Sync on Next/Own Cloud and works really great.

Cloud storage synchronization
Multi synchronization
-
Use optional add-ons to synchronize the document management system with the cloud client(s) of your choice: Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Nextcloud, Dropbox, and ownCloud
-
Establish multiple connections to different cloud clients simultaneously. For example, sync sales-related folders to Google Drive; tasks and projects - to SharePoint or OneDrive; HR documents - to Nextcloud / ownCloud; manufacturing specifications - to Dropbox. Take into account that a specific folder might be synced to only a single cloud storage solution. Its children would be synced to the same client
-
For each cloud client, the app lets set up a few instances. For example, for Google Drive, you may share some folders to your personal drive, others - to one of your team drives, and the rest - to your teammate's drive
-
To establish a connection with particular cloud storage, follow the instructions that are specific for client types. See the tab Configuration for details
-
Any connection might be paused manually if it is needed. It might be also auto-stopped if there are critical issues during the sync. Then, you should re-connect to a target cloud client
Cloud clients
-
Synchronization for all cloud clients is based on the same principles and on the same queue. Simultaneously, there might be differences in sync results due to different features of various cloud storage solutions
-
Establishing connections for different types of cloud clients assumes installing optional add-ons, different approaches for Odoo, and external API configuration. Follow the instructions on the tab 'Guidelines'
-
Google Drive Odoo Integration allows establishing a connection with any personal or team drive
-
OneDrive / SharePoint Odoo Integration assumes synchronization with any drive of personal/business/SharePoint tariffs
-
ownCloud / Nextcloud Odoo Integration et integrate Odoo with any instances of ownCloud and Nextcloud. In comparison to other clients, the app allows setting the type of attachment links. By default Odoo links are internal: only authorized users may access them. Optionally make links public (the setting 'Use Public URLs'). See details on the guidelines tab
-
Dropbox Odoo Integration works for all DropBox tariffs, including Personal DropBox (Basic, Plus, Family) and business DropBox (Professional, Standard, Advanced). In comparison to other clients, the app allows choosing whether cloud items would be shared or internal. See details on the guidelines tab
Automatic two-sided sync
-
Integration is based on scheduled jobs and is fully automatized. The app regularly checks changes in systems and runs sync operations
-
Synchronization is bilateral. Updates in Odoo are reflected in cloud clients (direct sync); changes in cloud clients modify Odoo folders and attachments (backward sync)
-
Any cloud connection might be reset. In this way, the app assumes getting back all items back to Odoo (reverse sync)
-
Odoo folders and attachments might be re-attached to a new cloud client. Hence, items would be first taken back to Odoo (reverse sync) and then put to new cloud storage (direct sync)
Queue-based synchronization
-
Once in 15 minutes, the app examines updates in Odoo and cloud storage(s) to prepare a synchronization queue
-
Folders' checks follow the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) principle. So, directories that have not been examined for the longest will be processed first
-
Once in 15 minutes, the sync queue is run by the special scheduled job. Firstly, the most important (blocking) tasks would be done
-
Control planned jobs and their fulfillment in the special Odoo logs interface (Cloud Storage > Configuration > Sync Logs). Subscribe for particular cloud clients notifications
-
If the app faces sync failures, it will re-try operations afterward. Sync queue processing would not be stopped if there are items not blocked by such failures
Odoo attachments for cloud storage: direct sync
-
Direct sync prepares the folders' hierarchy and uploads Odoo attachments for cloud storage
-
Direct sync checks whether attachments are added or deleted for synced directories. If so, they would be created or removed in cloud storage. In particular, it means that any file added to a folder-related Odoo object (e.g. Quotation), would be automatically moved to a linked cloud client
-
Direct sync makes all synced Odoo attachments change their type to a link (URL), while binary content is removed with one of next Odoo cleaners. So, no actual files would be stored on your Odoo server
-
Direct sync checks whether a new folder is added. Disregarding whether it is done manually or automatically, the app would generate a peer directory in a cloud storage
-
Direct sync checks whether there are any updates in folders. If so, such changes are reflected in a cloud client
Cloud storage files and folders for Odoo: backward sync
-
Backward sync checks whether any files or subfolders are added to cloud storage folders. If so, the app would create URL attachments/subdirectories inside linked Odoo directories (and hence Odoo objects if any)
-
Backward sync checks whether there are any updates in folders or attachments. Such updates would be then reflected in Odoo
-
Backward sync checks whether any files are deleted/moved in a cloud document folder. If so, a linked Odoo attachment would be also unlinked or moved
-
If you deleted a cloud storage folder related to a folder rule / Odoo object, their child files would be deleted as well. Thus, Odoo would remove related attachments. The folders, however, will be recovered with a direct sync
-
In case of conflicts, direct sync changes are in general considered more important than backward updates.
Resetting or changing cloud client: reverse sync
-
In case you decided to reset the connection with a specific cloud client, files would be moved back to Odoo
-
In case you decided to change the cloud client of a folder rule or a folder, files would be first taken back to Odoo, and then direct sync for a new client would be done
-
Reverse sync operations are prioritized to direct and backward sync operations
-
Not all items can be correctly reversed to Odoo due to cloud client peculiarities. For example, there are documents that may exist only in cloud storage environments (e.g. Google Sheet). The app would try to convert such documents, but in some cases, it would require manual interactions.
Automatic folder structure
Rules for automatic folders
-
The app allows preparing its own folder for any Odoo object
-
To configure a particular Odoo document type to generate a folder, you should just prepare a new folder rule (Cloud Storage > Configuration > Folder rules). For example, select the model 'Task' to make Odoo add a folder for each project task, so Tasks > Task 1, Task 2, ...
-
Automatically created directories would contain all attachments their linked objects have
-
Folders are updated regularly based on the scheduled job
Multi directories for each model
-
Each Odoo model might have a few linked folders
-
Apply any model storable field to filter Odoo objects and, in this way, split objects into a few super directories. For example, have own folders for individuals and companies, for European and American opportunities, for quotations and confirmed orders, for each project
-
Filter Odoo objects by relative periods by applying date fields of linked documents. For example, leads registered in the last 3 months or invoices updated in the last week
-
As a result, the app lets have paths like 'Odoo > Quotations Europe > SO-001' or ' Odoo > the last year posted invoices (America) > SO-001'
Flexible folders' tree
-
It is possible to set up a hierarchy of folder rules to prepare a more flexible directories structure
-
To that goal define a parent rule for a required folder configuration. For example, use a project-related rule as a parent for a task-related rule, a customer-related rule - for invoices-related rules
-
In order for folder relations to work correctly, it is also needed to enter a parent model field. So, it is the field that links models between each other (many2one relation). For example, 'Project' of a task, 'Customer' of a sales order, or 'Sales Team' of an opportunity
-
As a result, the tool allows reflecting your Odoo workflow logic and have paths like 'Odoo > Customers > Azure Interior > Projects > Software Design > Prepare Specification' and 'Odoo > Customers > Azure Interior > Quotations > SO-001'
Subfolders, default folders, and default files
-
The app lets add an unlimited number of manual subfolders for each folder. In particular, you may have a directories tree right in each object attachment box
-
For the first generation, it is possible to define default folders, so subdirectories would be auto-generated for a specific Odoo object folder. Afterward, you may add delete/edit those or add new ones
-
The same mechanics are applied to prepare default files. For example, to have contract/personal card templates which then are assumed to be filled with real data
Configurable folder titles
-
Each folder rule assumes to generate a directory. Names for the such directory are assigned right on a rule form. For example, introduce 'Jobs' for a task-related rule or 'HR' for employees' folders. By default, the Odoo model name would be used
-
For object-related folders, the names are generated based on the Odoo name_get method. So, if not defined the opposite, it would be the same title as you see in the Odoo form view header
-
The app lets define complex name expressions for object-related folders (the tab 'Name Expression' on a folder rule form). To that goal, apply the syntax used in Odoo email templates. For example, {{ object.project_id.name }}, {{ object.name }} to reflect a project name in tasks folders
-
Avoid the following symbols in folders' and files' names: *, ?, ", ', :, <, >, /, +, %, !, @, \, /,. Direct sync will replace such symbols with '-'. It is done to avoid conflicts with file systems. Avoid also too long names: e.g. more than 100 symbols
Enterprise Documents
-
The app allows generating folders for workspaces introduced by the Odoo Enterprise apps 'Documents'
-
To force Odoo to prepare workspace-related directories, define folder rule(s) of the type 'Workspace-Related rule'. The tool would automatically create linked folders and sync those for chosen cloud storage with one of the next jobs
-
It is not obligatory to reflect the whole DMS structure. Thus, it is possible to filter workspaces by any storable field. For example, to add a folder only for workspaces that contain the keyword 'Internal'. Take into account: if a workspace was synced, all its child workspaces would be also synced
-
If you generated a subfolder for any workspace-related folder, the app would also create such a Documents workspace
Typical use cases
-
Customers: add all partner files in a single super directory. Optionally distinguish companies and individuals. For example, Odoo > Customers > Azure Interior > Contacts > John Brown
-
Sales orders and invoices: keep all sale-related printings and contracts in your own quotation directories for each customer. For example, Odoo > Customers > Azure Interior > Orders > SO-001 and Odoo > Customers > Azure Interior > Invoices > INV-00001
-
Opportunities: store all specifications, requirements, and any files which would let you make a good offer carefully structured by each sales team and case. For example, Odoo > Sale teams > Europe > Leads > Interest in 50 chairs
-
Project and tasks: prepare a folder for each customer project and task. For example, Odoo > Customers > Azure Interior > Projects > Software design > Tasks > Specification
-
Human resources: gather all files by each employee in a single folder: photos, document scans, contracts. Structure employees by department. For example, Odoo > Departments > Accounting department > Employees > Anita Olivier.
File manager and sync access rights
-
Access for each Odoo automatic folder is regulated based on a linked object. If such an Odoo object is available for a specific user, its directory would be also available for her/him. For example, if Anita Olivier is the task manager of 'Prepare specification', then she may access the folder 'Tasks' and 'Tasks > Prepare Specification'
-
Access for Odoo manual folders is regulated based on its user groups and users stated in those folders' settings. If nobody is specified, a manually created folder is available for everyone. For example, if Anita Oliver is a sales manager, she may access the quotation-related folder 'Odoo > Orders > SO-001'
-
To access any folder, a user should be able to access all its parents. For example, if Anita Oliver has rights for employees but does not have for departments, then she might not read 'Odoo > Departments > Administration > Employees > Mitchel Admin'. However, if the folder 'Employees' becomes a stand-alone folder without a parent, then Anita would be able to access 'Odoo > Employees > Mitchel Admin'
-
The app does not regulate access levels for cloud clients and their items. The tool regulates rights only for Odoo objects and synchronizes those to required storage. After the sync, if necessary, you should apply the settings for a target cloud client, folders, and files
-
To observe the menu 'Cloud Storage' and the app file manager, a user should belong to the security group 'Cloud Storage > File Manager Access'
-
To configure automatic folder rules, establish connections with various cloud clients, control sync logs, and apply the app settings, a user should belong to the security group 'Cloud Storage > Administration'.
Use notes
-
The app assumes automatic regular synchronization with various cloud clients. Please take into account that synchronization is not real-time but is based on tasks queue and scheduled jobs. Depending on the number of folders and attachments, it might take time for the app to check all directories and do the jobs. That's why, until the sync is done, Odoo attachment interfaces work as in standard Odoo.
-
Cloud connections rely upon the API of the related cloud clients. Such communication between systems is risky by concept due to possible disconnections, API updates, and unsolvable conflicts. The app is designed to cope with such risks by carefully processing failures and checking cloud client states. Simultaneously, make sure that you have configured a proper backup strategy for both Odoo and cloud clients.
-
The special factors of risks are sync scope and reverse operations. The higher the sync scope is, the more it would take Odoo to finish integrations. Hence, more space for errors exists. Try to decrease sync scope logically by choosing only required folders. Reverse operations might be risky since assume reflecting cloud clients' features which might be absent in Odoo. For example, Google Sheets cannot be opened outside Google Docs. The app would try to solve the scenarios by applying similar features (e.g. by converting a file to simple electronic tables). However, that is not always possible, and in this way, manual interactions would be required.
Conseils de configuration et d'installation pour Cloud Storage Solutions Odoo v.15
Odoo server configuration
To make sure the synchronization works correctly apply proper timeouts to the Odoo configuration file: LIMIT_TIME_CPU, LIMIT_TIME_REAL, LIMIT_TIME_REAL_CRON should be more than 900 seconds.
For Odoo.sh this should not be done, since timeouts are predefined and are not configurable.
Avoid also changing the cron jobs frequency assumed by the app: '[Cloud Storage] Prepare Cloud Folders', '[Cloud Storage] Run / Prepare sync queue'. Those jobs are configured to be run each 15 minutes, and that frequency is used in the algorithms to avoid breaks and data losses. If you need to stop sync for a while, pause particular cloud clients instead.

Internal and public URLs
By default links from Odoo to ownCloud / Nextcloud are internal: only authorized users may access them. Optionally make links public (the setting 'Use Public URLs'). Then, URLs would be 'shared', and everybody would access items by a direct link.
Be cautious if you decide to use shared (public) URLs. Although the links would be hardly known by external users, there is a slight chance that they become available as a result of some user actions. Besides, sharing links generation is not fast and might make the synchronization slower.
Enter ownCloud / Nextcloud credentials
Setting up OneDrive or/and SharePoint Integration
Python dependency
The tool depends on the external library 'microsoftgraph'. Install this library for your Odoo server through the command:

- Set an email of the Dropbox user. Inside this user folder, all Odoo related items would be created, and only after that they are shared with all other users. Under this user, all files and folders are created, changed, moved, and deleted
- Press 'Confirm'. Odoo redirects you to the Dropbox login page. Check in the system, agree with all conditions, and grant all permissions asked
- After login, Dropbox redirects you back to Odoo. Dropbox - Odoo synchronization is ready to be done
- Apply the newly created cloud client to folder rules and/or manual folders which should be synced to that Dropbox instance
- Await the sync scheduled job to be started. For testing purposes only: trigger integration manually from Cloud Storage > Configuration > Configuration > the button 'Launch sync'.
Dropbox URLs
Dropbox has a specific way to generate links for existing files and folders. In particular, there are no concepts of internal or private URLs. Instead, each Dropbox item might get so-called shared URLs. Such shared links are either public or team-only. Moreover, the latter feature is available only for the Dropbox business account.
This tool relies upon shared links' mechanics. It means, that each attachment link is either public (all personal Dropbox accounts) or team-only (all business Dropbox accounts).
Sometimes it is considered to be not fully safe. Although website URLs will be hardly known by external users, there is a slight chance that they become available as a result of some user actions. Besides, sharing links generation is not super fast and might make the sync process slower. That is why the feature to switch off sharing URLs is introduced.
If checked, all Dropbox URLs in Odoo will be of type https://www.dropbox.com/home/Odoo/[PATH]. Such links will not work in many cases. Thus, if you need to open Dropbox files/folders from Odoo, be careful with the setting 'No links to Dropbox from Odoo'.

General Python dependency
The tool depends on the external library 'sortedcontainers'. Install this library for your Odoo server through the command:
pip3 install sortedcontainersQuestions fréquentes sur Cloud Storage Solutions Odoo v.15
Où sont stockés les fichiers synchronisés ? Sont-ils dupliqués dans Odoo et dans les clouds ?
L'application suppose que le contenu binaire des pièces jointes est conservé dans le Cloud Client plutôt que sur le serveur Odoo. Ces pièces jointes deviennent de type URL dans Odoo, et vous pouvez y accéder à tout moment depuis la zone des pièces jointes ou depuis le Cloud Client.
Après la configuration, aucune action manuelle n'est requise : la synchronisation est entièrement automatique. Choisissez quels types de documents Odoo synchroniser et configurez un modèle lié pour chacun (clients, commandes de vente ou d'achat, tâches, projets, etc.).
Puis-je avoir plusieurs dossiers pour le même type de document ? Par exemple, des projets internes et des projets clients ?
Oui, c'est possible. Pour cela, préparez une règle pour chacune, puis appliquez des filtres : par exemple selon le type de projet.
Rendez les filtres mutuellement exclusifs pour qu'un document soit clairement attribué. Par exemple : « client mais pas fournisseur », « fournisseur mais pas client ». Sinon, le dossier d'un document passerait d'un modèle à un autre.
Est-ce acceptable si j'ai beaucoup d'objets à synchroniser, par exemple 10000 ?
Oui, même si avec beaucoup de dossiers/pièces jointes le processus peut être lent. Des clients ont toutefois signalé des environnements avec >10k partenaires et ~5k variantes de produits, et les processus restaient acceptables.
Quelques points à souligner :
- La synchro est conçue pour qu'aucun élément ne soit perdu, même si ce n'est pas toujours rapide. Des files FIFO et la validation de chaque tâche le garantissent.
- Le nombre d'objets peut être limité logiquement. La configuration des modèles permet d'exclure les éléments obsolètes (par ex. pas de synchro des partenaires archivés ou des commandes de 2 ans).
Est-il possible de rendre la synchronisation en temps réel ?
Non. Nous avons de solides raisons d'éviter une synchro en temps réel :
Performances. Si la synchro est en temps réel, chaque envoi de fichier affiche un écran de chargement.
Conflits. Si 2 utilisateurs modifient un élément en même temps, la situation peut devenir insoluble. Avec des tâches régulières, on peut corriger ensuite ; en temps réel, il faudrait une file d'attente, encore plus déroutante.
Fonctionnalités. Notamment le renommage et la restructuration. La synchro inverse s'appuie strictement sur la logique des répertoires et, à chaque synchro, 100 % des éléments sont contrôlés. Après chaque mise à jour, ce seraient des milliers de requêtes par seconde. Sinon, les changements seraient perdus.
Puis-je modifier le nom par défaut des dossiers dans les clouds ?
Vous pouvez donner votre nom aux répertoires des modèles (commandes de vente, opportunités, fournisseurs, etc.) pour tout type de document.
Pour les dossiers d'objets (SO-001, John Smith, etc.), l'outil s'appuie sur la méthode Odoo qui construit le nom d'affichage. Vous pouvez le changer en définissant une expression de nom. La syntaxe est celle des modèles d'courriel Odoo.
Puis-je modifier la fréquence des tâches de synchronisation ?
Non, à partir de la version 15, ne modifiez pas les tâches planifiées. Elles sont optimisées pour s'exécuter toutes les 15 minutes afin d'assurer la connexion la plus stable et rapide.
Les délais d'attente du serveur Odoo doivent être d'au moins 15 minutes (900 secondes).
Pour interrompre la synchro un moment, faites-le sur le formulaire du client cloud concerné.
Puis-je synchroniser les pièces jointes vers plusieurs clients cloud
Oui, à partir de la version 15 vous pouvez configurer plusieurs connexions. Ainsi, certains dossiers se synchronisent vers un client cloud et d'autres vers un autre.
Notez qu'il n'est en aucun cas possible de synchroniser le même dossier vers plusieurs stockages cloud en même temps.
Nous utilisons un éditeur spécial dans nos clouds (p. ex. OnlyOffice, Office 365, etc.). Les fichiers s'ouvriraient-ils dans cet éditeur ?
Oui, selon la configuration de votre client cloud.
Ai-je besoin uniquement de l'application Cloud Storage Solution ?
À partir de la version 15, l'application peut servir seule pour structurer les pièces jointes en dossiers et offrir une interface de gestionnaire de fichiers.
Si votre objectif est une connexion avec l'un de ses clients cloud, il faut installer au moins une application optionnelle liée au client.
Que se passe-t-il lorsque je modifie une règle de dossier ?
Quand une règle de dossier change, la liste des dossiers change aussi. Si un dossier ne correspond plus aux conditions, il est retiré. Si les fichiers étaient synchronisés, la synchro inverse les ramène dans Odoo et les supprime du Cloud Client.
Si l'objet d'un document ne correspond pas à une règle de dossier, son dossier n'est pas créé. S'il y correspond plus tard, le dossier lié sera généré.
Quelles sont les politiques de mise a jour de vos outils ?
Selon les politiques actuelles de l'Odoo Apps Store :
- Chaque module achete pour la version 12.0 et anterieure donne acces a toutes les versions jusqu'a 12.0.
- A partir de la version 13.0, chaque version du module doit etre achetee separement.
- Quel que soit le numero, l'achat donne droit a toutes les mises a jour et corrections au sein d'une version majeure.
L'equipe faOtools ne controle pas ces politiques. Pour toute question, contactez directement les representants de l'Odoo Apps Store.
Comment installer votre application sur Odoo.sh ?
L'approche la plus directe est le flux integre de la boutique Odoo :
1. Ouvrez la page du module et cliquez sur Deploy on odoo.sh
2. Vous etes redirige vers GitHub. Connectez-vous, puis cliquez sur Create a new repo ou utilisez un depot existant. Le depot doit etre prive. Il est interdit de publier les applications sous licence OPL-1. Creez un nouveau depot pour le projet Odoo.sh si besoin
3. Ensuite, dans odoo.sh, cliquez sur Deploy, confirmez et cliquez sur Continue. L'installation demarre.
Ces etapes installent l'application sur la branche de production. Pour d'autres branches ou une mise a jour :
1. Telechargez le code source depuis la boutique Odoo
2. Commitez le module dans le depot GitHub requis. Aucun dossier/fichier de l'app ne doit etre ignore (.gitignore). Les depots crees par odoo.sh ignorent parfois des chemins importants (par ex. /lib). Envoyez tous les repertoires et fichiers du module
3. Deployez la branche cible du projet odoo.sh, ou attendez la construction automatique si vos parametres le prevoient.
Comment installer votre application sur mon propre serveur ?
2. Redemarrez le serveur Odoo;
3. Activez le mode developpeur (parametres techniques);
4. Mettez a jour la liste des applications (menu Applications);
5. Trouvez l'application et cliquez sur Activate/Install;
6. Suivez les consignes de la page de l'application s'il y en a.
Votre application a des modules complementaires. Puis-je les acheter plus tard ?
Oui. Odoo ajoute automatiquement toutes les dependances au panier : excluez les outils deja achetes pour eviter un double paiement.
J'ai deploye votre application sur Odoo.sh et je vois un avertissement/erreur dans les tests
Un avertissement rouge/orange n'affecte pas les fonctions de l'application. Parfois nos modules echouent aux tests automatiques standard, car ceux-ci attendent un comportement contraire aux objectifs de l'app. Par exemple, nous changeons le calcul du prix alors que les tests Odoo comparent le prix final a l'algorithme standard.
Verifiez d'abord les fonctions de la base deployee. Tout fonctionne-t-il ?
Si vous pensez encore que l'avertissement affecte les fonctions reelles, contactez-nous avec les journaux d'installation complets et la liste complete des modules deployes (coeur et tiers).
Puis-je acheter votre application directement aupres de vous ?
Non, nous distribuons les outils uniquement via le magasin officiel d'applications Odoo.
Je souhaiterais une reduction
Malheureusement, nous n'avons pas les moyens techniques de proposer des prix individuels.
Puis-je installer l'application sur ma base Odoo Online (SaaS) ?
Non, les applications tierces ne peuvent pas etre utilisees sur Odoo Online. Odoo SaaS bloque cette possibilite.
Votre outil depend d'autres applications. Dois-je les acheter ?
Oui, l'outil a besoin de tous les modules indiques en dependances. Le prix affiche sur la page inclut deja ces dependances.
Quel est le prix du module en dollars US ? Pourquoi a-t-il change ?
Le prix de nos modules est fixe en euros. La boutique Odoo convertit les prix selon son taux de change interne. Le prix en dollars US peut donc changer lorsque ce taux est mis a jour.
