Remove xml entities from html field value in odoo

In this blog we will explain how to remove xml entities from html field value in odoo and to make it clear let us give an example 

We created new task in the project module , and this task has description as in the image bellow 

 

and we created custom task portal view , but when we try to view the task description it displayed with some tags and we need to remove them .. just as in the image bellow

 

so to fix this bug we can add new function inside the controller and this function take the description field value as an input and return the clean text of the description without tags , so the function can be as bellow 

def clean_text(self,html_field_value):
        clean = re.compile(r'<[^>]+>')
        clean_text =  re.sub(clean, '', html_field_value)
        return clean_text

#Note : we must import re package first as "import re"

        <t t-call="website.layout">
            <form action='/create/product/form'>
                <input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" t-att-value="request.csrf_token()"/>
                <div class="row">
                    <div class="col-sm-4 col-md-3">
                        <table style="width:100%">
                            <tr style="width:100%">
                                <td style="width:20%">
                                    <b>
                                        Name
                                    </b>
                                </td>
                                <td style="width:80%">
                                    <input type="text" name="product_name" id="product_name" required="true" />
                                </td>
                            </tr>
                        </table>
                    </div>
                    <div class="col-sm-4 col-md-3">
                        <table style="width:100%">
                            <tr style="width:100%">
                                <td style="width:20%">
                                    <b>
                                        Price
                                    </b>
                                </td>
                                <td style="width:80%">
                                    <input type="number" name="product_price" id="product_price" required="true"/>
                                </td>
                            </tr>
                        </table>
                    </div>
                    <div class="col-sm-4 col-md-3">
                        <table style="width:100%">
                            <tr style="width:100%">
                                <td style="width:20%">
                                    <b>
                                        Cost
                                    </b>
                                </td>
                                <td style="width:80%">
                                    <input type="number" name="product_cost" id="product_cost" required="true"/>
                                </td>
                            </tr>
                        </table>
                    </div>
                    <div class="col-sm-4 col-md-3">
                        <table style="width:100%">
                            <tr style="width:100%">
                                <td style="width:20%">
                                    <b>
                                        Type
                                    </b>
                                </td>
                                <td style="width:80%">
                                    <select id="product_type" required="True" class="form-control" name="product_type">
                                        <option t-att-value="consu" class="type_option">
                                            Consumable
                                        </option>
                                        <option t-att-value="service" class="type_option">
                                            Service
                                        </option> 
                                        <option t-att-value="product" class="type_option">
                                            Storable Product
                                        </option>      
                                    </select>
                                </td>
                            </tr>
                        </table>
                    </div>
                    <div class="col-sm-4 col-md-3">
                        <table style="width:100%">
                            <tr style="width:100%">
                                <td style="width:20%">
                                    <b>
                                        Image
                                    </b>
                                </td>
                                <td style="width:80%">
                                    <input type="file" class="form-control s_website_form_input" name="image_file" id="image_file" required="true" accept="image/*"/>
                                </td>
                            </tr>
                        </table>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <br></br>
                <div class="control_buttons">
                    <button type='submit' class="submit_bnt" id="s_bnt">
                        Save
                    </button>
                </div>
            </form>
    </template>
</odoo>

Second : create python controller in which you must "import base64" & "from odoo.exceptions import AccessError, MissingError", then add function to create the product with the data posted from the form as bellow 

    @http.route(['/create/product/form/'], type='http', methods=['GET', 'POST'], auth="public", website=True)
    def create_new_product(self, **post):
        product_obj = request.env['product.template'].sudo()
        try:
            product_data = {
                'name':post['product_name'],
                'list_price':float(post['product_price']),
                'standard_price':float(post['product_cost']),
                'type':post['product_type'],
                'datas':base64.b64encode(post['image_file'].read()),
            }
            product_id = product_obj.create(product_data)
            return request.redirect(product_has_been_created_page)
        except (AccessError, MissingError):
            return request.redirect('/my')

#Note : You have to create product_has_been_created_page first

Auto Images Slider in Odoo

 

In this blog we will explain how to create auto image slider in odoo website as in the image above , so

First : we have to add the images to the website page , for example let us say we have an odoo controller which call page and pass data to this page , and that data contains "image_ids" which is contains all image data , so we can add the images to the page as bellow 

 

<t t-foreach="image_ids" t-as="image">
    <center>
        <div class="mySlides">
            <img t-att-src="image['image_url']" class="img_01"/>
            <br></br>
            <span t-esc="image['image_name']" class="name_01"/>
        </div>
        <span class="dot"></span>
    </center>
</t>

Second : we have to create the JS script which will add the auto move to the slider and we can add it as bellow

 

<script>
    let slideIndex = 0;
    showSlides();

    function showSlides() {
      let i;
      let slides = document.getElementsByClassName("mySlides");
      let imgs = document.getElementsByClassName("img_01");
      let img_urls = document.getElementsByClassName("image_url");
      let dots = document.getElementsByClassName("dot");
      for (i = 0; i &lt; slides.length; i++) {
        slides[i].style.display = "none";
        slides[i].style.margin = "10px";
      }
      for (i = 0; i &lt; imgs.length; i++) {
        imgs[i].style.width = "80%";
        imgs[i].style.height = "470px";
        imgs[i].style.border = "2px solid black";
        imgs[i].style.borderColor = "#875A7B";
        imgs[i].style.borderRadius = "10px";
        imgs[i].style.boxShadow = "3px 5px #bfbfbf";
        imgs[i].style.marginBottom = "10px";
      }
      slideIndex++;
      if (slideIndex > slides.length) {slideIndex = 1}    
      for (i = 0; i &lt; dots.length; i++) {
        dots[i].className = dots[i].className.replace(" active", "");
      }
      slides[slideIndex-1].style.display = "block";  
      dots[slideIndex-1].className += " active";
      setTimeout(showSlides, 5000); // Change image every 5 seconds
    }
</script>

Third : adding the CSS style as bellow 

 

.img_01{
    width:80%;
    height:420px;
    transition: .1s ease;
  backface-visibility: hidden;
}
.img_01:hover {
    opacity: 0.3;
}
