@Odoo Mates
Hi, do you know how to customize the Odoo menu bar? I wish to add a search box. What is the keyword that I should start research? Many thanks in advance.

[@dennisparinas1635]

I want to disable the default multi-company record rule in Odoo. My question, is it possible to specify a dynamic domain on action to filter the result in tree view like this "user.company_id.id". Thank you

[@kashifmanzoor7949]

Thank you mates.... it was really helpful to understand.

Im trying to create new submenu, when I use action like `hr_recruitment.hr_applicant_action_analysis`, it works fine, but when I add new action as your tutorial, the submenu disappeared. Looked into technical setting submenu, but it looks OK. What's the potential cause here?

[@OdooMates]

Did you set the access rights for the model ? if not set the access rights: ruclips.net/video/W5ya521uTlo/видео.html

But not in all menu items I could use web_icon="storehous,static/description/icon.png"?
Only in the root menu?

[@OdooMates]

yes only for root menu, we need the icon

[@omarahmed299]

so helpful .. but i have a question :
i added action to model 'ir.actions.act_window' .. why we use type field in defining action ?

[@OdooMates]

To be frank, not sure, have to cross check, might be to distinguish between the different actions available like server action

[@malikkamil6596]

hi i want to generate a report from the menu without wizard or new form I created a report and menu but not know how to create action

im using this tutorial to learn odoo but i have an issue
now i know i am using odoo-community 13 but it doesnt have ALL THESE DAMN SETTINGS LIKE YOURS.
and your odoo 13 tutorial isnt as expansive as this one.
how did u get those developer buttons and superuser buttons?

[@OdooMates]

There are many changes between odoo12 and odoo13, if you are developing in odoo13, have a look at the odoo13 development playlist, in it its shown the same in this video.
Regarding adding the smart buttons, you can follow same as in odoo12.

@@OdooMates my version of odoo 13 doesnt have any of these buttons!!!!!!!!!
no super user
no developer
my way around the developer button is adding the debug# to url but ill take a look at that link

[@OdooMates]

@@Kinggenton If you go to settings page and scroll down to bottom you can see the option to activate the debug mode

[@Kinggenton]

@@OdooMates i like to thank you for your help man, but the only thing i see in the settings page is Users. IN navbar the only thing i see is users & companies
NOTHING ELSE!!!!
and this IS FRUSTRATING?
cause i followed odoo installation and i believe steps are missing
i am attempting now to use odoo 12(cloning) to see if i get the same SHIT
