On record-heavy forms — sales orders, invoices, manufacturing orders, project tasks — the standard Odoo chatter is pinned to the right and can eat roughly a third of your horizontal space. On wide, field-dense layouts that fixed placement squeezes the inputs your team actually works in, and there is no supported setting to move it, collapse it, or expand it to read a long email thread. Odoo core ships mail.thread and mail.activity.mixin behind a single hardcoded layout; the moment a team asks to dock the chatter at the bottom, pop it fullscreen to review a long conversation, or hide it entirely on a data-entry screen, you have run out of road with native configuration. There is no toggle for it, and each Odoo major version reshuffles the underlying OWL components, so a quick browser CSS hack breaks on the next upgrade.

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 one working week 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 $999 (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.
