Hi everyone, I'm trying to develop a custom theme for my odoo (v13) website but I'm struggling to create templates using qWeb and calling odoo defined templates like:


<template id="template_header_custom" inherit_id="website.layout" name="Template Header Cutsom" active="True">
        <xpath expr="//header//nav" position="replace">
            <h1>Custom header</h1>
            <div>
                <t t-call="website.navbar_nav">
                    <t t-set="_nav_class" t-valuef="me-auto"/>

                    <!-- Menu -->
                    <t t-foreach="website.menu_id.child_id" t-as="submenu">
                        <t t-call="website.submenu">
                            <t t-set="item_class" t-valuef="nav-item"/>
                            <t t-set="link_class" t-valuef="nav-link"/>
                        </t>
                    </t>
                </t>
            </div>
        </xpath>
    </template>

As soon as I invoque a website addon template I get the following error (once I've loaded the theme, navigate to the website home):


Error Message:
load could not load template
ValueError: View 'website.navbar_nav' in website 1 not found
Template: website.layout
Path: /t/html/body/div/header/div[2]/t

How am I supposted to load these templates so I can create a custom dynamic layout for my theme?

Hi, thanks for the quick replay.

Yes in fact I've checked the three points:


{
    'name': 'Custom theme',
    'description': 'Odoo custom theme',
    'version': '1.0',
    'author': 'Luis H. Porras',
    'category': 'Theme/Creative',
    'depends': ['website', 'website_theme_install'],
    'data': [
        'views/assets.xml',
        'views/layout.xml',
        'views/pages.xml',
        'views/snippets.xml',
        'views/options.xml'
    ],
}
  • And code correctess, well, the code it's been copy/pasted

So I understand from your replay that I'm doing the process as expected but for some reason I don't get the desired output. Searching in the design_themes repo I also found this approach but didn't work either:

theme_models.py

from odoo import models

class CustomTheme(models.AbstractModel):
    _inherit = 'theme.utils'

    @property
    def _header_templates(self):
        return ['theme_custom.template_header_custom'] + super()._header_templates

    @property
    def _footer_templates(self):
        return ['theme_custom.template_footer_custom'] + super()._footer_templates

    def _theme_custom_post_copy(self, mod):
        self.enable_view('theme_custom.template_header_custom')
        self.enable_view('theme_custom.template_footer_custom')

__init__.py (under models subfolder)

from . import theme_models

__init__.py (main folder)

from . import models

Any other ideas on how to debug this or any other workaround?

Thanks!

  • Ensure Template Availability: Confirm that the website.navbar_nav and website.submenu templates exist in the website module. If they are not loaded or accessible, you won't be able to call them in your custom template.
  • Check for Module Dependencies: Make sure your custom theme module has a dependency on the website module. In the __manifest__.py file of your theme module, you should have:

'depends': ['website'],
  • Correct Template Call: Ensure that the template you're calling exists in the correct format and the call is made correctly. In your case, t-call="website.navbar_nav" and t-call="website.submenu" seem correct, but double-check that these templates are properly defined in the website module.

Hi Asliddin, I was re-reading your answer and wonder if there is a specific way of checking he availability of the templates in run-time as my response to your answer is based in checking the official repo code.

Re-reading Asliddin answer I've found the  problem. 

In fact the template website.navbar_nav doesn't exist in Odoo v13.0 yet. My former link to  the code is pointing to a later version of Odoo.
