Shouldn't this be an evalued expression?

Sure it should be. Thanks :)

Not really, but the key name is a bit missleading, changing it

[pedrobaeza]

OK, but we talked about some evalued thing (¿the context or the domain?)

[chienandalu]

Yeah, I was thinking that being able to just run a custom server action there's no need to add such logic as server actions already provide a full fledged code evaluator. There's a simple optianal context, that can be used for manual actions thou.

[pedrobaeza]

OK, please indicate these hints in the README for others to be able to discover that usefulness.

[pedrobaeza]

This shouldn't be something out of the box for all the users. I think this module should provide an action that can be put as initial action in the users configuration to go to the screen. Other options:

• A security group to include users in.
• A check in the user.

I'm also thinking about having a parent model for quick start templates, to have several of them, so they can be assigned for different users in the initial action/user preference. What do you think?

I was thinking in that too, but simpler just making the model regular instead of transient. And then the actions be linked in many2many relation

[chienandalu]

Refactor done so we can have multiple start screens. I found some limitations with the banner controller, but maybe they aren't important right now
