All In One Chatter Toolkit

This is where we build the All In One Chatter Toolkit for you. It is a made-to-order module that wraps the existing chatter with a display-mode controller: users switch between fullscreen (an overlay that gives the thread the whole viewport), bottom (a docked drawer beneath the form), side (the familiar right column), and hidden (chatter collapsed to a toggle button so the form reclaims full width). We implement it as an OWL component patch layered over the core Chatter and FormRenderer via the assets bundle and patch() — never a fork of core mail — plus a lightweight res.users preference so each person's chosen mode persists across sessions and reloads. Because the toggle lives in the form's control area, it works on any model that already inherits mail.thread, without per-model view surgery.

During scoping we tailor the behavior to how your teams work: default mode per model (for example, hidden on POS-adjacent entry forms and fullscreen on helpdesk tickets), which user groups may change the mode, whether the preference is global or remembered per model, and any keyboard shortcut you want bound to the toggle. If you run studio-customized or heavily-inherited forms, we test the patch against your actual XML views on a staging copy so the drawer and overlay respect your field layout. Access to who can switch modes is governed the standard Odoo way — ir.model.access.csv plus record rules where a group restriction is needed — and the module is delivered clean for either Community or Enterprise, since it only depends on the base mail and web modules present in both.

Delivery is build-to-order: after a short scoping call we confirm the exact modes, defaults, and target models in writing, then build against your Odoo version. Typical delivery is 2–4 weeks from confirmed scope, depending on how many custom forms need testing and your staging/UAT availability. You receive installable source, install and configuration on your environment, and a support window after go-live. Pricing starts from $249 (indicative, single-company base scope); additional target models, per-group mode permissions, deep testing against studio-customized forms, and multi-company rollout increase the quoted scope.
