I have questions for experienced developers:

I am trying to create new custom web controller route. But I do find some troubles here. Let me put down the example. Image this situation:

custom controller:

@http.route(['/<path:custom_path>/'], type='http', auth='public', website=True)
def render_new_template(self, **post):

is conflicting with basic controller:

@http.route('/', type='http', auth="public", website=True, sitemap=True)
def index(self, **kw):

The effect of above code is:

  • when I request website.com/custom_path/ URL - it works perfectly and renders my custom template
  • when I request a core page website.com/page URL - it starts to render it with my new custom template, which is not the effect I want

How to deal with routing in such situation? I do really want to have the same short URLs without additional path like following:

/additional_path/<path:custom_path>/

or even short one:

/c/<path:custom_path>/

I did some research as odoo web controller routing is based on werkzeug, so I found some recommendations but neither was precise enough for Odoo.

The following solutions were mentioned:

  • do it with custom converter
  • do it with Importing werkzeug.routing, creating own map implementation, changing werkzeug.routing.Map to own implementation
  • use "url_for" (probably only in case of Flask) which allows you to point to the

app.py:

app.route('/<path:pattern1>')
app.route('/<path:pattern1>/<path:pattern2>')
def catch_all(pattern1, pattern2=None):
return render_template('template.html', p1=pattern1, p2=pattern2)

app.route('/test')
def test_routing:
args = {'pattern1': 'Posts', 'pattern2': 'create'}
return render_template('test.html', args=args)

test.html:

click here

I know there is a url_for functionality in odoo but it is not doing exactly the same - it is pointing to the path not to the method of this route

I will be really grateful for help, and donate any guy that will help, explain and suggest kind of wise and pretty solution for my case.

A bit late, but nonetheless. I have been struggling with this issue a lot (especially with multi websites). I found a work-around which works, but probably is not ideal.

Custom Controller:

from odoo.http import request
from odoo.addons.website.controllers.main import Website

class Main(Website):

    @http.route('/<name>', auth='public', website=True)
    def custom_route(self, name, **kwargs):
        if name == 'custom_path':
        # Business logic here
    return request.render(
                'template', {
                    'key' : value,
                }
            )
        return super(Website, self).index(**kwargs)

If the path meets a specified criteria ('custom_path' in above example) use the custom route and render whatever it needs to render, otherwise use the default route.

I hope this answers your question.
