It usually displays the related document reference, the company logo, and a small footer saying &quot;Powered by Odoo&quot;.</p> <p>There are notably two main layouts used in Odoo, and the user can't control when they're used, as it's hardcoded into the different applications.</p> <ul class="simple"> <li><code>mail.mail_notification_light</code></li> <li><code>mail.mail_notification_paynow</code></li> </ul> <p>This module allows to force a specific layout for a given <code>email.template</code>, effectively overwritting the one hardcoded by Odoo.</p> <p>This allows you to fully customize the way Odoo emails are rendered and sent to your customers.</p> <p><strong>Table of contents</strong></p> <div class="contents local topic" id="contents"> <ul class="simple"> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#configuration" id="id1">Configuration</a></li> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#bug-tracker" id="id2">Bug Tracker</a></li> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#credits" id="id3">Credits</a><ul> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#authors" id="id4">Authors</a></li> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#contributors" id="id5">Contributors</a></li> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#maintainers" id="id6">Maintainers</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> <a name="configuration"></a> <h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id1">Configuration</a></h2> <p># Go to Configuration &gt; Technical &gt; Emails &gt; Templates # Open the desired <code>email.template</code> record. # In Advanced Parameters tab, find the Force Layout field.</p> <p>You can leave it empty to use the default email layout (chosen by Odoo). You can force a custom email layout of your own. You can use the <em>Mail: No-Layout notification template</em> to prevent Odoo from adding a layout.</p> <p>To configure a custom layout of your own, some technical knowledge is needed. You can see how the existing layouts are defined for details or inspiration:</p> <ul class="simple"> <li><code>mail.mail_notification_light</code></li> <li><code>mail.mail_notification_paynow</code></li> <li><code>mail.mail_notification_borders</code></li> </ul> <a name="bug-tracker"></a> <h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2">Bug Tracker</a></h2> <p>Bugs are tracked on <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/OCA/social/issues">GitHub Issues</a>.
