AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

Adds a camera button to the chatter so users can take a photo and attach it directly to a record. On mobile it opens the device camera; on desktop it opens a full-screen camera dialog.

This module adds a camera button next to the attachment button in the chatter toolbar of records that use the chatter (for example contacts, sales orders, invoices and other records with messages and attachments).

  • On a mobile device, tapping the button opens the phone's camera (rear camera by default) so the user can take a picture.
  • On a desktop or laptop, tapping the button opens a full-screen camera dialog that shows a live preview and has a Capture button and a Close button.
  • The captured photo is turned into a JPEG file and uploaded to the record as an attachment through the normal chatter attachment uploader.
  • If the record has not been saved yet, the module first saves it before uploading the photo, so the attachment is not lost.
  • The button is disabled when the user does not have write access to the record, unless the record is still temporary (unsaved).
  • If the camera cannot be started (no camera found or permission not granted), an error message is shown and the dialog closes.

The module only changes the chatter toolbar and adds a camera dialog; it does not create new database models or menus.
