Hi everyone, I'm trying to develop a custom theme for my odoo (v13) website but I'm struggling to create templates using qWeb and calling odoo defined templates like:



<template id="template_header_custom" inherit_id="website.layout" name="Template Header Cutsom" active="True">
        <xpath expr="//header//nav" position="replace">
            <h1>Custom header</h1>
            <div>
                <t t-call="website.navbar_nav">
                    <t t-set="_nav_class" t-valuef="me-auto"/>

                    <!-- Menu -->
                    <t t-foreach="website.menu_id.child_id" t-as="submenu">
                        <t t-call="website.submenu">
                            <t t-set="item_class" t-valuef="nav-item"/>
                            <t t-set="link_class" t-valuef="nav-link"/>
                        </t>
                    </t>
                </t>
            </div>
        </xpath>
    </template>

As soon as I invoque a website addon template I get the following error (once I've loaded the theme, navigate to the website home):


Error Message:
load could not load template
ValueError: View 'website.navbar_nav' in website 1 not found
Template: website.layout
Path: /t/html/body/div/header/div[2]/t

How am I supposted to load these templates so I can create a custom dynamic layout for my theme?

  • Ensure Template Availability: Confirm that the website.navbar_nav and website.submenu templates exist in the website module. If they are not loaded or accessible, you won't be able to call them in your custom template.
  • Check for Module Dependencies: Make sure your custom theme module has a dependency on the website module. In the __manifest__.py file of your theme module, you should have:

'depends': ['website'],
  • Correct Template Call: Ensure that the template you're calling exists in the correct format and the call is made correctly. In your case, t-call="website.navbar_nav" and t-call="website.submenu" seem correct, but double-check that these templates are properly defined in the website module.
