Modifying an existing handler

When you install the website module, the /website/info path displays some information about your Odoo instance. In this recipe, we override this in order to change this information page's layout, and also to change what is displayed.

Getting ready

Install the website module and inspect the /website/info path. Now, craft a new module that depends on website and uses the following code.

How to do it...

We'll have to adapt the existing template and override the existing handler:

1. Override the qweb template in a file called views/templates.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<odoo> 
  <template id="show_website_info"  
            inherit_id="website.show_website_info">
    <xpath expr="//dl[@t-foreach='apps']" position="replace"> 
      <table class="table"> 
        <tr t-foreach="apps" t-as="app"> 
          <th> 
            <a t-att-href="app.website"> 
            <t t-esc="app.name" /></a> 
  ...
