Hello all,

If I change the CSS code in this file : /home/odoo/addons/point_of_sale/static/src/css/pos.css

I automatically see my changes on the POS.

But if I make this changes in my custom module css : /home/odoo/addons/report_lapagept/static/src/css/pos_as.css

impossible to override the original CSS. I never see the changes. Only if they are in the original pos.css.

I have tried 2 ways to import my pos_as.css file in my custom module :

I put it in my __openerp__.py

'css': [
'static/src/css/pos_as.css',
],

I also tried with a xml file (like usually), but I'm not sure of my declaration

So, what is the best way TO OVERRIDE the original CSS in the point of sale of Odoo v8?

Thanks all

Did not find better (shorter) way until today.

In /home/odoo-test/odoo-test/addons/pos_lapagept/__openerp__.py :

{

    'depends' : ['point_of_sale',],
    "data" : [
                'lapagept_templates.xml',
              ],
}

In /home/odoo-test/odoo-test/addons/pos_lapagept/lapagept_templates.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    </head>
    <body>
        <div class='openerp openerp_webclient_container'>
            <table class='oe_webclient'>
                <tr>
                    <td class='oe_application' />
                </tr>
            </table>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>
</template>
<template id="index_pt" name="POS Index - PT"><!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Odoo POS - PT</title>

</data>
</openerp>

All the CSS in the file /home/odoo-test/odoo-test/addons/pos_lapagept/static/src/css/pos_as.css will override the CSS in the original pos.css file. It works very well.

But now, somebody here could say to me why it's written « Odoo » rather than « Odoo POS - AS » when I inspect the code. See below image. ??????

You need to update the path of css file in three places.

1.`inherit_id="web.assets_backend"`

2.`inherit_id="web.assets_frontend"`

3.`inherit_id="point_of_sale.assets"`

In the templates which inherites the above templates.

The code is shown below.

</xpath>

</template>

</xpath>

</template>

<data>

</xpath>

</template>

</data>

You also need to ensure that if you want to modify an existing template then the stylesheet name must not be changed.

If you want to create a stylesheet for your template the you only need to set the path of stylesheet in only one place, ie in the main template file in which you are setting the path of js file.

</xpath>

</template>
