- 15. Snippets
- 16. Build with snippets But instead of creating all the pages this way, we think about using "Building Blocks". We call them "SnippetsSnippets". Block of html code usable everywhere. Draggable in your page. Can contain Javascript or/and Css logics. · · ·
- 19. A very Simple Snippet Structure of a snippet. views/snippets.xml 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 [...] <template<template id="my_theme_snippets" inherit_id="website.snippets" name="My Theme snippets">> <xpath<xpath expr="//div[@id='snippet_structure']" position="inside">> <div><div> <!-- Thumbnail --> <div<div class="oe_snippet_thumbnail">> <img<img class="oe_snippet_thumbnail_img" src="/my_theme/static/src/img/snippet/snippet_thumbs.png"/>/> <span<span class="oe_snippet_thumbnail_title">>My Snippet</span></span> </div></div> <!-- Snippet Body --> <section<section class="oe_snippet_body mt_simple_snippet">> <div<div class="container">> <hr<hr />/> <h1<h1 class="text-center mb32 mt32">>This is a simple snippet</h1></h1> <hr<hr />/> </div></div> </section></section> </div></div> </xpath></xpath> </template></template> [...]
- 20. Customize my Snippet We can customize this simple snippet with Sass/Css. static/src/css/my_theme.sass 1 2 3 4 5 6 // Pure compass imports @import@import "compass/css3" @import@import "bootstrap" // Create CSS only for snippet @import@import "my_theme-snippet.sass" static/src/css/my_theme-snippet.sass 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 @font-face@font-face font-family:: 'BebasNeue' src:: url('/my_theme/static/src/font/BebasNeue Bold.ttf') src:: local(("BebasNeue Book")),, urlurl(('/my_theme/static/src/font/BebasNeue Bold.ttf')) formatformat(("truetype")) .mt_simple_snippet h1h1 font-family:: 'BebasNeue' font-size:: 55emem
- 21. Customize my Snippet To insert this new Css we need to extend the theme template and replace the default bootstrap by our new Css. views/my_theme.xml 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 [...] <template<template id="theme" inherit_id="website.theme" name="My Theme Assets">> <xpath<xpath expr="//link[@id='bootstrap_css']" position="replace">> <link<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/my_theme/static/src/css/my_theme.css" />/> </xpath></xpath> </template></template> [...]
- 22. Snippet & Javascript It's possible to add javascript logicjavascript logic when a snippet has been dropped or appears in the page. static/src/js/snippet.js 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 ((functionfunction()() {{ 'use strict';; varvar website == openerp..website;; website..openerp_website == {};{}; website..snippet..animationRegistry..my_snippet == website..snippet..Animation..extend({({ selector :: ".mt_simple_snippet",, start:: functionfunction(){(){ varvar h1 == thisthis..$el..find(("h1");); varvar h1_width == h1..width();(); h1..css(('width',,00);); h1..animate(( {{ width:: h1_width },}, 30003000 );); },}, });}); })();})();
- 23. Snippet & Javascript Just inherits from "website.assets_frontend" template to enable it. views/my_theme.xml 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 [...] <template<template id="assets_frontend" inherit_id="website.assets_frontend" name="My Theme Front End Assets">> <xpath<xpath expr="." position="inside">> <script<script src="/my_theme/static/src/js/snippet.js"></script>></script> </xpath></xpath> </template></template> [...]
- 24. Organize my snippets You can create a new snippet section or insert your snippet into an already present section. New section views/snippet.xml 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [...] <template<template id="snippets" inherit_id="website.snippets" name="My Simple Snippet">> <xpath<xpath expr="//ul[@class='nav navbar-nav nav-tabs']" position="inside">> <li><li> <a<a href="#snippet_my_snippet" data-toggle="tab">>My Snippet</a></a> </li></li> </xpath></xpath> </template></template> [...] Insert into "Structure" section. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 [...] <template<template id="my_theme_snippets" inherit_id="website.snippets" name="My Theme snippets">> <xpath<xpath expr="//div[@id='snippet_structure']" position="inside">> <div><div><!-- Your snippet --></div></div> </xpath></xpath> </template></template> [...]
- 25. Options
- 26. Add Options We can add options for every snippets or blocks. In our case, we add 2 options ( patterns background) for the snippet created before. views/options.xml 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 [...] <template<template id="my_theme_snippet_option" name="My Snippet Options" inherit_id="website.snippet_options">> <xpath<xpath expr="." position="inside">> <div<div data-snippet-option-id="my_theme_snippet_option" data-selector=".mt_simple_snippet" data-selector-children=".oe_structure">> <li<li class="dropdown-submenu">> <a<a tabindex="-1" href="#">>Pattern</a></a> <ul<ul class="dropdown-menu">> <li<li data-value="tweed"><a>><a>Tweed</a></li></a></li> <li<li data-value="sprinkles"><a>><a>Sprinkles</a></li></a></li> </ul></ul> </li></li> </div></div> </xpath></xpath> [...]
- 27. Add Options In fact, it adds a class-name to the data-selector. And now, simply create the Css to have the desired result. static/src/css/my_theme-options.sass 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 .mt_simple_snippet &&.tweed background-image:: url(/my_theme/static/src/img/backgrounds/patterns/tweed2.png) h1h1 color:: rgb((255255,,255255,,255255)) hrhr border-top:: 11pxpx solid dashed rgba((255255,,255255,,255255,.,.88)) &&.sprinkles background-image:: url(/my_theme/static/src/img/backgrounds/patterns/sprinkles.png) h1h1 color:: rgb((120120,,120120,,120120)) +text-shadow+text-shadow((00 00 55pxpx rgba((00,,00,,00,.,.33)))) hrhr border-top:: 11pxpx solid solid rgba((00,,00,,00,.,.88))
- 28. Custom Css We can override Bootstrap variables to create your theme. static/src/css/my_theme.sass 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 // Override Bootstrap variables $brand-primary:: rgb((120120,,120120,,120120)) $brand-success:: rgb((9494,,148148,,162162)) // Pure compass imports @import@import "compass/css3" @import@import "bootstrap" // Create CSS only for snippet @import@import "my_theme-snippet.sass" // Create CSS only for options @import@import "my_theme-options.sass"
- 29. Summary
