Hi all,
I just released the new module 'report_openoffice'.
You can find on trunk-addons-community.
You also find a module called report_openoffice_samples which contains examples (only invoice, till now) on how to create openoffice reports.

I must say that just right now I found that there's another module, called relatorio_report, which makes use of relatorio to generate reports.

I had a look at it and it seems to me that it loses many things, for example:
- it overrides completly the create_odt method of OE thus you can generate odt report with the std system anymore;
- it doesn't support PDF attachment storing;
- it doesn't generate PDFs trough openoffice;

BTW, I'm sure we can work together with Wei Li, the author of that module, to improve this module.

Cheers

thanks,

Hi logic_openerp,
sorry, my fault... I forgot to add the file REQUIRES.txt in the module.

BTW, you need the following packages to be installed in the system:

- relatorio
- openoffice-python

You can install them via easy_install:
easy_install relatorio
easy_install openoffice-python

- openoffice.org

Thank you,
But what is "easy_install"?
thanks

Hi,
since you are on Windows, the fastest way to have it is:
download ez_setup.py from http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
and launch it with python ez_setup.py

Then you will have the command easy_install.

It's not working. Is there an other way to install relatorio and openoffice-python?
Thanks

easy_install is the official way to install python modules

if you use MS Windows, you need to specify the path of python and easy_install into the enviroment variable PATH.

if this procedure is too complex, ask MS for a refund
On GNU/Linux and Mac you need to do nothing, it just works

What do you mean exactly with "It's not working"?

BTW, if you google for "easy_install windows" you can find something useful, such as:

I can install easy_install command but when I want to use it, the window of the command appear and then disappear!!!
Thank you

how do you launch it?

You have to open a msdos prompt, and then run:
easy_install nome_of_the_module

I succeeded in installing relatorio and openoffice-python with easy_install but I have again the same error!!!
Thanks

Do you mean the first error "ImportError: No module named relatorio.templates.opendocument" ?

In that case I think you have some problem with the location of your python libs.

So, where I must put relatorio and openoffice-python? In C:\Program Files\OpenERP Server\library.zip?
Thanks

Sorry, I don't know

I'm not use to develop on Win... but I'll try asap on a virtual machine and I'll let you know if I win

OK!!
Thank you for everything!
