Enhancements to existing features
This update allows system administrators to customize the main Odoo home menu with a targeted message. Administrators can configure a new setting to display important information, such as planned maintenance, directly on the home screen. This provides a centralized way to communicate critical updates to users.
Original PR description
Display a message on home menu based on an ir.config_parameter that can be added directly in the database by the system administrator.
The ir.config_parameter is sysadmin.message and should be a json loadable. The format shoud be something like this:
{
"type": "warning",
"replace": false,
"warning_type": "user",
"message": "`<span>A maintenance operation is planned on your server on <strong>2026-01-15</strong> between 14h and 15h</span>`"
}
