email_template_qweb: stop migrating from 17.0

[trisdoan]

Context

• email_template_qweb was introduced in https://github.com/OCA/social/pull/55, Odoo was still using Jinja to render email template

• Starting from Odoo 15.0, Odoo refactored all its mail templates to use qweb instead: https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/77377

  • So, with this function, We can actually use t-call to refer ir.ui.view (with inheritance of course)

For those who would like not to use the module:

1. update their mail templates to type qweb
2. update body_html to include t-call to the view

Thanks for the info. Have you tried to do such t-call and everything is working properly?

Hello @pedrobaeza, yes I did some testing

template

  <template id="test_module.test_template" name="Test Template">
    <div>testing</div>
  </template>

email.template

<record id="test_module.test_mail_template" model="mail.template">
    <field name="name">Test</field>
    <field name="subject">Demo</field>
    <field name="model_id" ref="stock.model_stock_picking"/>
    <field name="email_from">test@com</field>
    <field name="partner_to">test1@com</field>
    <field name="lang">{{ object.partner_id.lang }}</field>
    <field name="body_html" type="html">
      <div>
        <t t-call="test_module.test_template"/>
      </div>
    </field>
  </record>

Result

Template Inheritance

<template id="test_module.test_template_inherited" name="Test Template Inherited" inherit_id="test_module.test_template">
    <xpath expr="//div" position="inside">
      <div>
        <span> testing 2</span>
      </div>
    </xpath>
</template>

Result

Great, thanks for confirming! Then indeed the module is no longer needed.
