Odoo Server (MOVED TO GITHUB)

multiple addon folders on one server?

Asked by hsm flxCore

We have a Open ERP installation for multiple companies. We would like to have a specific add-on directory for each database. Is that possible? During a technical training I learned that it is possible to split the config file of the server into multiple ones.
Any ideas or working strategies?

One of the goals is to have different invoice templates for each company.

The addons (may be many) paths are specific to /server/ and not the database.
So, you cannot currently have a different set of available addons per database
(of course, you can have different adddons /installed/ per database).

If you need different companies to have different server options, then you
should run multiple servers. This has advantages and disadvantages.

Then, make a module, load it once and hide it afterwards. Invoice templates
are data, after all.

Can you help with this problem?
