    • What Are the Most Effective Odoo Security Practices for Production?

      Hi everyone,

      As we prepare to deploy Odoo in production, I'm looking for advice on essential Odoo security configurations. So far, I’ve enabled HTTPS, limited database access to localhost, and disabled debug mode. Are there other critical steps I should consider?
      How do you handle user permissions, firewall rules, and audit logging?
      Would appreciate insights from those who’ve deployed Odoo securely in high-risk or enterprise environments.

      Security is a top priority—thanks in advance!

    • How to Get Started with Odoo Theme & Template Development version 18

      Hi everyone,

      I’m currently working on customizing the backend interface in Odoo 18 and wanted to share some insights for those diving into Odoo Theme Development and Odoo Template Development.
      To create a custom backend theme, start by creating a new module with assets_backend declarations. You’ll mainly work with SCSS, XML (for QWeb templates), and JavaScript to style views or override default layouts. For backend modifications:

      • Extend existing templates from web.base_layout

      • Use the t-inherit directive for template overrides

      • Leverage custom SCSS via Webpack or Odoo’s asset bundling system

      • Structure your theme cleanly to support modular updates

      Anyone here working on backend themes for version 18? Let’s share best practices or issues you’ve encountered with template inheritance and asset optimization.

    • How to Integrate a Payment Gateway with a Custom Module in Odoo 18?

      Integrating a custom payment gateway into Odoo 18, especially when working with a tailored module outside of standard eCommerce or Invoicing apps, requires a good understanding of Odoo's payment acquirer model. Unlike older versions, Odoo 18 emphasizes modular integration via payment acquirer and payment transaction models.

      If you're building or modifying Odoo payment apps, it’s better to extend existing payment models rather than creating from scratch—this allows smoother backend configuration and compatibility with payment workflows.
      For developers working with custom flows, here are a few helpful tips:

      Use the payment register wizard for transaction processing.
      Ensure the external API communication is handled with proper error catching and logging.
      Make sure your Odoo payment methods follow the expected state transitions (draft → pending → done/failed).

      Anyone else working with Odoo payment gateway integrations in 18?
      Would love to hear how you've structured your flows or dealt with challenges like tokenization or partial payments.

    • How Can I Build a Scalable Laravel Mobile App for the Healthcare Industry?

      When developing a Laravel mobile app for the healthcare industry, it's essential to prioritize secure API design, HIPAA compliance, and real-time data handling. A Laravel mobile app builder can streamline this by generating robust backend APIs that integrate seamlessly with native or cross-platform mobile apps.
      Start with user authentication (JWT or Sanctum), then add modules for appointment booking, e-prescriptions, or patient records. Using Laravel's queue system also helps handle background tasks like email notifications or data sync efficiently. The flexibility of Laravel makes it ideal for custom workflows often required in healthcare environments.

    • Best Approach for Developing a Cross-Platform Mobile App alongside a Laravel Web App?

      Hey everyone,

      I'm currently working on an eCommerce web app built with Laravel and considering launching a cross-platform mobile app alongside it. I want to ensure code reusability, smooth API integrations, and performance optimization across platforms (mainly Android & iOS).

      I’ve looked into Flutter and React Native as options, but I’m curious about how others are managing API structures, authentication, and data syncing when connecting a mobile app to a Laravel backend.

      Also, how do you handle deployment and updates between the Laravel backend and mobile frontend?

      Any tips, best practices, or tools you’d recommend for mobile app development and eCommerce app development in this stack would be super helpful.

      Thanks in advance!

    • How Can I Show NFTs Minted in Other Contracts in My NFT Marketplace?

      I'm building an NFT marketplace using a PHP NFT Marketplace Script and exploring options with a readymade NFT marketplace solution. I want to display NFTs that were minted through other smart contracts (i.e., not created directly on my platform).
      Is it technically feasible to pull and show externally minted NFTs if I know the contract addresses? Are there recommended methods to fetch this data—maybe using web3, The Graph, or another integration?
      Also, would this be compatible with most NFT marketplace builder frameworks? Any help or examples would be great!

    • How to Integrate Salesforce Marketing Cloud with Shopify?

      I'm exploring the process to connect Shopify with Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC) to enable seamless data flow between the two platforms—especially for customer segmentation, behavior tracking, and automated email journeys.

      From what I understand, this involves using Salesforce’s Marketing Cloud Connect, or middleware, to enable real-time sync of customer, order, and product data. But I’m unsure about the best practices for data mapping, maintaining marketing consent compliance, and handling abandoned cart triggers.

      For those who’ve used Salesforce Marketing Cloud Services for salesforce integration marketing cloud tasks—what steps, tools, or APIs worked best for you in integrating Shopify? How do you ensure data integrity and avoid sync delays?
