Use 'web' module as depends in manifest file and restart your server

Hello Guhan,

I am assuming that you have added needed dependencies, if you not that you need to add 'depends': ['web'], in manifest.py

Generally header and footer are being added with such code


You can also use Odoo Studio for to implement this changes. Simply follow below steps 

  1. Click on Studio.
  2. Click on Reports.
  3. Select New.
  4. Choose External.
  5. You will automatically get pre-defined option for header and footer. 

I hope this will help you !

Hi,

Does your module depend on the web module? web.external_layout is part of the web module. If your module doesn't depend on it, adding a dependency might be necessary. 

Hope it Helps!
