Prior to this commit, the Odoo documentation was mainly split between two repositories: odoo/odoo/doc and odoo/documentation-user. Some bits of documentation were also hosted elsewhere (e.g., wiki, upgrade, ...). This was causing several problems among which: - The theme, config, Makefile, and similar technical resources had to be duplicated. This resulted in inconsistent layout, features, and build environments from one documentation to another. - Some pages did not fit either documentation as they were relevant for both users and developers. Some were relevant to neither of the two (e.g., DB management). - Cross-doc references had to be absolute links and they broke often. - Merging large image files in the developer documentation would bloat the odoo/odoo repository. Some contributions had to be lightened to avoid merging too many images (e.g., Odoo development tutorials). - Long-time contributors to the user documentation were chilly about going through the merging process of the developer documentation because of the runbot, mergebot, `odoo-dev` repository, etc. - Some contributors would look for the developer documentation in the `odoo/documentation-user` repository. - Community issues about the user documentation were submitted on the `odoo/odoo` repository and vice-versa. Merging all documentations in one repository will allow us to have one place, one theme, one work process, and one set of tools (build environment, ...) for all of the Odoo docs. As this is a good opportunity to revamp the layout of the documentation, a brand new theme replaces the old one. It features a new way to navigate the documentation, centered on the idea of always letting the reader know what is the context (enclosing section, child pages, page structure ...) of the page they are reading. The previous theme would quickly confuse readers as they navigated the documentation and followed cross-application links. The chance is also taken to get rid of all the technical dangling parts, performance issues, and left-overs. Except for some page-specific JS scripts, the Odoo theme Sphinx extension is re-written from scratch based on the latest Sphinx release to benefit from the improvements and ease future contributions. task-2351938 task-2352371 task-2205684 task-2352544 Closes #945

How to sell accessories and optional products (cross-selling)
|
|
=============================================================
|
|
|
|
You sell computers. Why not stimulating your customers to buy a top-notch
|
|
screen or an extra-warranty? That's the goal of cross-selling functionalities:
|
|
|
|
* Accessory products on checkout page,
|
|
* Optional products on a new *Add to Cart* screen (not installed by default).
|
|
|
|
Accessory products when checking out
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
Accessories (e.g. for computers: mouse, keyboard) show up when the customer
|
|
reviews the cart before paying.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: ./media/cross_sell_accessory_web.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
Select accessories in the *Sales* tab of the product detail page.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: ./media/cross_sell_accessory.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
There is an algorithm to figure out the best accessories to display in case
|
|
several items are added to cart. If any item is the accessory of several products
|
|
added to cart, it is most likely that it will be atop the list of suggested accessories.
|
|
|
|
Optional products when adding to cart
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
Optional products are directly related to the item added to cart (e.g. for computers:
|
|
warranty, OS software, extra components). Whenever the main product is added to cart,
|
|
such a new screen pops up as an extra step.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: ./media/cross_sell_optional_web.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
To publish optional products:
|
|
|
|
* Install *eCommerce Optional Products* addon in *Apps* menu. Remove the default filter to
|
|
search on addons as well, otherwise only main apps show up.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: ./media/cross_sell_optional_install.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
* Select optional items from the *Sales* tab of the product detail form.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: ./media/cross_sell_optional.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The quantity of optional items added to cart is the same than the main item.
