Hi,

I have created a custom module and placed the app icon under module_name/static/description/icon.png but the image won't display in apps screens. What am i missing?

P.S: I have also tried placing the icon under module_name/static/img/icon.png, this didn't work as well!

I'm using Odoo V12

It throws an error saying it didn't find the view in parent view. Maybe i'm defining it in the wrong file, where do you think i should define this?

may be this error because of parent menu.

and this code is define in your xml file where you define your menu item.

below check you define like

<menuitem name="Rental Management" id="rental_management" web_icon="rental,static/description/icon.png"/>

In above code this is your main menu and your below code is your child menu.

<menuitem name="Record" id="menu_record_rental" parent="rental_management" sequence="1"/>

Hi Manish,

Thank you for you answer, I have tried this but still the logo image was not displaying in app modules screen.

Can you share your code ?

I got the issue cleared, it was a stupid mistake though. Thanks for your timely reply :)

The issue was i was using windows and the png file extension was in caps like PNG, now in windows it didn't matter but Linux didn't accept it so changing it lowercase solved it.

Your icon image should be 64x64 and also the "rental,static/description/icon.png" should be module name

Hi 

1- Upgrade base module 

2- restart server

In my case, it wasn't the filename that was the issue, but the file permission.

Ensure that your file is system readable:

chmod 755 static/description/icon.png

755 is not required, 644 should be enough

In my case I had to restart server after changed permissions
