Module to Create Custom Menu / Link to External Apps

Hi Community,

I would like to ask whether there is a module that allows us to create a menu to external apps url. For example, we have a superset installed, and we want user to have a menu to click to this superset url from the odoo main menu it self. That module should allow us to add multiple apps/url and build the menu automatically. Its like an external apps menu in Nextcloud if you all familiar.

I've searched the apps/web to look whether someone already created that before thinking of creating my self. It should be easy to do, I think.

Thank you.


Kind regards, 


Zainuddin

    Hi Zainuddin,

     

    no need to create a module, you can do this directly in Odoo.

     

    1. Download the Nextcloud icon you wish to have as a menu item

    2. Activate Developer Mode

    3. Go to “Settings / Technical / User Interface / Menu Items”

    4. New

      1. Menu: Nextcloud

      2. Web Icon Image: Upload your file

      3. Action: Choose “ir.actions.act_url” and in the field right next to it, enter “Nextcloud”

      4. Click on “Create and edit”

                                                                  i.      Action URL: Enter the URL you want the menu to point to

                                                                 ii.      Save and Close

    1. Save

    2. Hit refresh in the browser to see the new menu item

     

    I actually just learned this a few weeks ago, because I also wanted a Nextcloud icon on the home screen. :-)

     

    Cheers, Dave

    Hi,

    I saw it other way around- an one embedded the Odoo menu (Sales, Manufacturing, accounting,…) within a simple made e-commerce web page where the flow starts with the customer ordering online a piece… despite all the limitations it looked not bad from UI point of view. I am not clear how that would work from Odoo user’ license point of view …

    Best regards
