Hi,

Try the following,

<odoo>

  <data>

    <record id="alx_al_website" model="ir.ui.view">

      <field name="name">(CUSTOM) - landing page</field>

      <field name="type">qweb</field>

      <field name="inherit_id" ref="website.homepage"/>

      <field name="priority" eval="1000"/>

      <field name="arch" type="xml">

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

          <div><p>hello world</p></div>

        </xpath>

      </field>

    </record>

  </data>

</odoo>

When you create an inherited view in Odoo:

• If you don’t set website_id, the view applies globally to all websites. Updating the module will always refresh it everywhere, including new websites.
• If you set website_id, the view is tied only to that website. Updates to the module will refresh it only for that site, and new websites won’t automatically get the changes.

Best practice:

Use global inheritance if you want one universal homepage design, and add website_id only if you want different designs per website.

Hope it helps

Hi Diego,

What’s happening is due to how website-specific views work in Odoo. When you include a <field name="website_id" .../> in your inherited view, Odoo doesn’t just extend the existing website.homepage — instead, it creates a website-restricted variant of the homepage. That’s why you see a new view “tree” instead of your code extending the original one.

If you want your changes to apply globally (for all websites), simply remove the website_id field:

<record id="alx_al_website" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">(CUSTOM) - landing page</field>
    <field name="type">qweb</field>
    <field name="inherit_id" ref="website.homepage"/>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <xpath expr="//div[@id='wrap']" position="replace">
            <div><p>hello world</p></div>
        </xpath>
    </field>
</record>

If you really need it to apply only to a specific website, then keeping website_id is correct, but in that case Odoo will always generate a new branch of the view for that website — that’s the expected behavior.

Hope this helps!
