Web Image URL

This module gives Odoo a new way to show an image on a screen when the image itself is not stored in Odoo, but only its web address (URL) is saved in a text field.

• It registers a field widget named image_url that works with text (char) fields.
• When such a field is shown on a form or list view, the widget displays the picture found at the stored URL instead of showing the raw text.
• If the field is empty, or if the image at that address cannot be loaded, a standard placeholder image is displayed and a warning message appears saying the selected image could not be displayed.
• The displayed image can be sized through the usual width and height attributes of the field.

It only changes how information is displayed in the web client; it does not add menus, reports, database models or automated business rules. The module depends on the standard web module and loads its script into the backend assets.
