AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Lets you insert DMS files as links directly from the website/email editor's media dialog, with an option to make the link work for public visitors.

When you edit content with the web editor and open the media dialog to add an image or a link, a new "DMS" tab appears alongside the standard tabs. From there you can browse your DMS files, search them by name, and load more results as you scroll.

  • Selecting a file inserts a link that opens or downloads it through Odoo's document viewer.
  • A switch labelled "Allow open to public users" adds a secure access token to the link so that people who are not logged in can open the file.
  • SVG images are linked with a download flag because they do not display well in a new browser tab.
  • If you reopen the dialog on an existing DMS link, the DMS tab is selected automatically and the matching file is highlighted.

The module also extends the dms.file model with token generation and validation, and hooks into ir.binary so that file access checks accept a valid token. The DMS tab is hidden when the dialog is restricted to images only.
