AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

When a module is installed or upgraded, every user who is currently online in Odoo receives a pop-up notification asking them to reload the page so they get the latest changes.

This module adds an automatic notification for users who are connected to Odoo at the moment a module is installed or updated. It relies on the notification system provided by the web_notify module, which must be installed for this module to work.

What happens in practice:

  • As soon as an installation or upgrade finishes, Odoo looks for users who are currently active (recently connected or recently present in the browser).
  • Those users each receive a sticky notification titled "Upgrade Notification" with the message "Your odoo instance has been upgraded, please reload the web page."
  • The notification includes a "Reload" button with a refresh icon, so the user can reload the page directly from the pop-up.
  • Users who are offline or away are not notified.

The module works by extending the technical model ir.model.data, which is the model Odoo uses to track installed and updated data records. It hooks into the end of that process to trigger the notifications. It also reads presence information (the mail_presence data) to decide who counts as active, using the same timing rules Odoo uses for away and disconnected users.

No new menus, screens or reports are added; the only visible change is the notification pop-up itself.
