Quick Summary

google_docs is a minimal Google OAuth integration module that provides configuration settings for connecting Odoo to Google's API. It stores Google OAuth client credentials and handles the authorization flow to obtain access/refresh tokens for Google Drive API access. This appears to be a foundation module for Google Docs/Drive integration features.

Dependencies

Odoo Module Dependencies

  • google_account - Odoo's Google account integration base

Python Libraries Required

  • requests - HTTP requests (standard in Odoo)
  • None additional (uses base Odoo)

For End Users (What Can This Do For Me?)

  • Configure Google OAuth credentials in Odoo Settings
  • Authorize Odoo to access Google Drive on your behalf
  • Foundation for Google Docs/Drive integrations
  • Stores tokens securely in Odoo's config parameters

Known Gotchas (Painfully Learned)

  1. Field Label Mismatch - Fields are labeled "Google Ads Client ID" but used for Drive - confusing UI text
  2. Drive Scope - Uses https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive scope - full Drive access, not just Docs
  3. Minimal Functionality - This is mostly a settings/auth module - actual Docs features not included
  4. Token Storage - Tokens stored in ir.config_parameter - shared across company/users
  5. Old Tutorial Link - Links to Odoo 13.0 documentation which may be outdated
