Pages

In this chapter, you will learn how to declare static pages.

Default pages

In Odoo, websites come with a few default static pages (Home, Contact us, 404, …). They are built the following way.

<template id="website.homepage" name="Homepage">
    <t t-call="website.layout">

        <!-- Variables -->
        <t t-set="additional_title" t-value="'Home'" />

        <div id="wrap" class="oe_structure oe_empty">

            <!-- Content -->

        </div>

    </t>
</template>

Define the meta title.

<t t-set="additional_title" t-value="'...'"/>

Define the meta description.

<t t-set="meta_description" t-value="'...'"/>

Add a CSS class to the page.

<t t-set="pageName" t-value="'...'"/>

Hide the header.

<t t-set="no_header" t-value="true"/>

Hide the footer.

<t t-set="no_footer" t-value="true"/>

If needed, deactivate default pages.

/website_airproof/data/pages/home.xml
<record id="website.homepage" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="active" eval="False"/>
</record>
/website_airproof/data/pages/contactus.xml
<record id="website.contactus" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="active" eval="False"/>
</record>

Alternatively, replace the default content of these pages using XPath.

/website_airproof/data/pages/404.xml
<template id="404" inherit_id="http_routing.404">
    <xpath expr="//*[@id='wrap']" position="replace">

        <t t-set="additional_title" t-value="'404 - Not found'"/>

        <div id="wrap" class="oe_structure">
            <!-- Content -->
        </div>

    </xpath>
</template>

Theme pages

You can add as many pages as you want to your website. Instead of defining a <template>, create a page object.

Declaration

Icons

By default, the Font Awesome icons library is included in the Website Builder. You can place icons anywhere using the CSS Prefix fa and the icon’s name. Font Awesome is designed to be used with inline elements. You can use <i> tag for brevity, but using a <span> is more semantically correct.

<span class="fa fa-picture-o"/>
