Odoo - redirect to external link without modifying source code - odoo

A friend of mine has an Odoo website linked to many other functionalities but that I don't think are relevant for the case. His problem is that he would like to change the URL of one of the button on its website to an external link. I looked around and can only see developper's solution and his eternal dev deprioritized it so he is a stuck. I looked around and saw the possibility to maybe change things on the website builder, what I did sequentially:
activated developer mode
went to "Website"
Clicked "Modify" (or maybe "Edit" with the English settings) at the top right corner
clicked on the button he wants to change the redirect link of
a modal appears and then asks me for relative URL only
Is there any way, without going into the code, to make this modal accept absolute URL instead of relative ones
Thanks

XAMPP or me? localhost/hello sends me to Google

I'm messing around with my htdocs/.htaccess file.
I have it completely blank right now - no rewrite rules, nothing, and it's saved obviously.
But when I type localhost/hello it redirects me to:
https://www.google.co.uk/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=8tCWVPr3KuKq8wewyIDoAg&gws_rd=ssl
Is this an XAMPP quirk? I can't work out why else it's doing this. If I type anything other than 'hello' it doesn't do this.
Check carefully that you are typing full word and then pressing enter and not selecting from suggestions of chrome.
In attached image you can see that in the suggestion there is two different icons in front of suggestion: one with search icon and another with page icon. Search icon directs to google search page icon opens the page if available.
The same icon also appears in the address bar and works same.
If there is still problem try different browsers.
Tried Firefox, and I got the correct Error 404. Chrome however, no matter what sends me to google.
In the end I emptied the cache and that's fixed it. So it seems editing the .htaccess also requires cache deletion on Chrome.
Weird.

Redirect URI in Google Cloud Console doesn't save

I have an old OAUTH1 project with a cliend id for web application. The problem is that I can't set redirect URIs. If I update them at https://console.developers.google.com/project/myprojectid/apiui/credential everything seems to be fine. But when I press F5, all the settings are gone. It seems as if Google doesn't store my settings. I have tried it with various browsers but still didn't work.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Help is highly appreciated.
Actually pressing Save twice don't work (at least for me).
Instead, I have to hit enter into textbox. This adds entry into the list.
And only after that clicking Save will save the changes.
Type the redirect URL and press ENTER.
It will get added as a row.
Then click save.
Bad UI Google :( wasted some time trying to figure this out.
I think this is just an example of poor UX design. I was having the same problem, I would add a redirect URI, click the 'Save' button, see it add a new line, and assume it was saved.
I discovered that the first click of the 'Save' button only creates a new line. You have to click the 'Save' button a second time (where it will briefly change the text and color to 'Saving...'), which will save your updates and return you to the previous screen.
Step 1: Enter the URI
Step 2: click 'Save'
Step 3: Click 'Save' again
Authorized redirect URIs not saving. Because of the browser. Please change browser to Google chrome or chromium which developed by google so we can save it. I faced this problem it has eat the time for my whole day.If changed browser still not working fine, then try to clear everything(history, cache, .....) from the browser.

Adding a review box to site that posts to G+ Local page

I was wondering if it was possible to add a review box to my site that would automatically post to my Google+ Local page, and in turn eventually show as a Google review.
I just want the simple functionality of leaving a comment and star rating to my site to avoid having to travel to another page.
Is this functionality available?
I have found a slight shortcut by adding the query parameter ?review=1 to the end of the url which automatically brings up the review box once the Google places page loads, and have customized a message to try and entice a click but feel that the easier you make it on someone to leave a review the more successful it will be.
I'm sorry but we don't have that functionality.

Enabling like button comment field for secure browsing users

We've been having trouble with inconsistent display of the like button comment field on our external sites (i.e. some people see it pop up after clicking the like button, and some people don't). We searched around and made sure that the app id referenced when loading the HTML5 version of the like button code matched the website domain in the app settings (per this thread), and finally determined that the "problem" is the user's security settings: if they have enabled "secure browsing" in their security settings, then they won't see the comment field pop up unless the page is also hosted securely. (only other place I could find this discussed is on this site)
Has anyone figured out a workaround for this? It appears that the iframe version doesn't have this problem (though it does make the user click a link to see the comment field), but it requires 400px of minimum width which busts our layouts. We want to always make the comment field appears after the user clicks the like button, but it isn't feasible for us to host every page on the site securely. Any suggestions?

Picasa Custom Button Problem

I have started creating a custom button for Picasa to be able to upload some photos to a website. I followed the guidance found here. It works fine so far but now I have made a small change to the button and picasa will not refresh the button no matter what I try.
Adding a link like this:
Acme Inc. Uploader
to a page with access to your PBZ file will cause Picasa to open and instal the button. I made a small change and tried again. It updated once but now it refuses. I tried changing the name of the button, the version of the button, nothing works. Only the original button remains in Picasa. I even remove the button from picasa, reboot just in case its in memory somewhere, then tried again and still only original button remain.
The google group associated with the API does not appear to be very active. One other person asked about the same thing but there was no response. Searching the web found no other answers. I hope someone here has some experience with this.
I found a buttons folder in the picasa folder on the hard drive but my custom button was not in there. I have no idea why it keeps finding the old button.
I am using Picasa 3.1.0 on Windows XP if that makes any difference.
So the question: does anybody have experience building these custom buttons and/or encountered this situation before?
Thanks
