When i use <templates> instead <template>, than xml file not loading, getting error.

Prashant Panchal (ppa)

I appreciate your help, thanks.

Prashant Panchal (ppa)

create you file with templates code and put in this directory like

module > static > src > xml > file.xml

and you can use like : 'qweb': ['static/src/xml/file.xml'], and then after upgrade the module

Anil R. Kesariya (Jupical)

Yes prashant, I followed the same file path and upgraded module, but no error, but it not functioning.

Prashant Panchal (ppa)

Create one js fille and put the code following code:

odoo.define('module_name.js_file_name', function (require) {

'use strict';

var core = require('web.core');

var ajax = require('web.ajax');

var qweb = core.qweb;

ajax.loadXML('/maodule/static/src/xml/file.xml', qweb);

});

Hi All,

Here I am writing complete solution which works for me, all credit goes to @ Prashant Panchal, Finally the long discussion on the solution was fruitful. 

Sample example.

Template file   : header_template.xml                   

<template id="template" xml:space="preserve">
    <t t-name="UserMenu" t-extend="UserMenu">
        <t t-jquery='.dropdown-menu' t-operation='replace'/>
    </t>
</template>
<!- Loaded XML files inside java script code -->


Javascript file qweb_template.js

odoo.define('yourmodulename.your_feature_name', function (require) {
'use strict';
var core = require('web.core');
var ajax = require('web.ajax');
var qweb = core.qweb;
ajax.loadXML('/yourmodulename/static/src/xml/header_template.xml', qweb);
});


Loading of Javascript file 

<template id="extended_libs" name="extended libs" inherit_id="web.assets_backend">
    <xpath expr="." position="inside">
        <script type="text/javascript" src="/yourmodulename/static/js/qweb_template.js"></script>
    </xpath>
</template>

Anything inside templates can be extended using t-extend and t-jquery.
