Templates, Layouts ?

[mr.nightmare]

Hello,

While i'm still trying to get the module working on another VM, i successfully installed report_openoffice on a ubu 9.10 / openerp 5.0.7 machine, and am now trying to create a custom invoice layout.

The thing is I have no clue about how the templating language works, as i only followed the tutorial for installation and the "how to create your first report" tutorial.

It would be great if there was a way to re-use the initial Openerp invoice layout and just modify it to my will (i just need to move the place of some informations and add a company logo)

If that's not possible, where can I find informations about which variable corresponds to what information (as objects[0].name is the main company name )?

Take a look at the objects (models as for OpenERP) listing in menu:
"Administration/Customization/Database Structure/Objects"

It would be great if there was a way to re-use the initial Openerp invoice layout and just modify it to my will (i just need to move the place of some informations and add a company logo)

The idea behind "original" Reportlab (RML/SXW/Report Designer) reporting engine is hybrid and it does work in an somewhat awkward manner, unlike to any other reporting engine. Although it is possible to reuse some code from those templates, we intentionally tried to get rid of many expressions of such behavior.

Best regards,
