This module implements a simpler interface for the email template dynamic fields. A configurator allows the creation of predefined named replacement strings, which can then be selected in the template.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 14.0Lets you save named email placeholders (like "Customer name") once and reuse them in email templates, instead of typing raw dynamic field codes. A new "Template Placeholders" menu manages them.
This module adds a library of reusable named placeholders for email templates, so users do not have to remember raw dynamic field codes.
- A new menu "Template Placeholders" (under the Email settings menu) lists all saved placeholders. Each placeholder has a name, the model it applies to, and the actual replacement string (for example a value starting with
${object.}). - On the email template form, a new "Configured Placeholders" page lets you pick a placeholder and shows its replacement value. The list of choices is automatically limited to placeholders belonging to the same model as the template.
- When you select a placeholder, its replacement value is filled in automatically.
- Access is controlled by groups: regular users can only read placeholders, while members of "Template Placeholders Manager" can create, edit and archive them. System administrators automatically get this manager role.
- The module also restricts the standard template configuration and advanced settings pages, and the dynamic field selector, to the relevant manager groups.
It works with email.template.placeholder and extends mail.template.
