Can I detect within a Qweb View if it is being used to render a PDF or a Portal View?

Question

I am customizing the "account.report_invoice_document" View.
This is used to render both the PDF version and the Customer Portal version of an Invoice.
I would like the PDF to have some content that the Portal View will not and vice-versa.

Can I detect which is being rendered via a QWeb variable or another method so I can use conditional statements to render content?

These are the different URL's that are used:
PDF from Odoo backend: /report/download
Portal View: https://[server]/my/invoices/[id]?access_token=[guid]&report_type=html PDF from Portal Download Action:  https://[server]/my/invoices/[id]?access_token=[guid]&report_type=pdf&download=True
PDF from Portal Print Action:  https://[server]/my/invoices/[id]?access_token=[guid]&report_type=pdf

So one way is to inspect the request like this to differentiate between the View and the PDF's:

Portal View: https://[server]/my/invoices/[id]?access_token=[guid]&report_type=html
is there any way to download custom template using portal view

Hi,
When rendering the portal view, the html version of the report is used. So if you need to show something only in portal  you can add a if condition using the variable report_type variable.
if report_type value is html, then it is portal and else it will be printing pdf.

So you can add condition as follows:  *if report_type != 'html'*

Thanks
