Hello,


I am trying to develop a custom homepage for my website but I cannot manage to make it work the way I want.

I would like to display some backend information (events, for example) so I made a controller that gets all that data and makes a render_template afterwards.

My problem is that I can't find a way to call it "directly". My homepage url is like this : http://localhost:8069, so I don't know how to define the @http.route option for my controller.


I tried with an ajax.jsonrpc call, and it works, but I then I cannot edit a part of the template because it crashes. My code was like this :

homepage/xml :

<template id="homepage_template" inherit_id="website.homepage">

        <xpath expr="//div[@id='wrap']" position="inside">

            <div id="events"/>

        </xpath>

    </template>


<template id="wdi_homepage_data">

     event infos here

</template>


And my controller looks like this :

@http.route('/homepage/', methods=['POST'], type='json', auth="public", website=True)

    def load_data(self, **kw):

        events = request.env['event.event'].search([('date_begin', '>', fields.Date.today())], limit=4)

       return request.env['ir.ui.view'].render_template("my_module.homepage_template", {

            'event': events,

        })


Can someone explain me how to make a proper template for the website homepage ?

Thanks a lot !

HI,

<template id="homepage_template" inherit_id="website.homepage">
        <xpath expr="//div[@id='wrap']" position="inside">
            <div id="events"><t t-call='your_module_name.wdi_homepage_data'/>
              </div>

Copy paste the controller of the website app. In Odoo 10 it is (look at your 'website' addon controllers):

@http.route('/', type='http', auth="public", website=True)

 def index(self, **kw):

        page = 'homepage'

        main_menu = request.env.ref('website.main_menu', raise_if_not_found=False)

        if main_menu:

            first_menu = main_menu.child_id and main_menu.child_id[0]

            if first_menu:

                if first_menu.url and (not (first_menu.url.startswith(('/page/', '/?', '/#')) or (first_menu.url == '/'))):

                    return request.redirect(first_menu.url)

                if first_menu.url and first_menu.url.startswith('/page/'):

                    return request.env['ir.http'].reroute(first_menu.url)

        return self.page(page)


Just add your code inside this function. Do not remove other stuff and do not forget to import in your controller libraries required by the function above
