Hello, 1. For reports, Open ERP has three engines: * RML -> PDF (default one) * ODT -> ODT * XSL:RML -> RML -> PDF (but not very usefull compared to the others)
The reports engines are generic, so that you can provide new ones if needed. For ODT-> ODT, we have an OpenOffice plugins that allows end-users to design their document without having any line of programmation to write. Demonstration here: http://openerp.com/images/flash/report_designer.swf To produce the RML, the report designer module support this: * ODT -> RML (only in report designer module) * SXW -> RML (in the core of Open ERP) RML has been improved in version 5 of Open ERP to support better layouts (page numbers, table heading, ...) and have better speed improvement. But you are right, it's not always the better solution for complex layouts. If you want to be able to modify the layout, you can use the report designer that is able to work on ODT without using RML. On the report definition, you can just change the type (OpenOffice / PDF) and it change the way the report is rendered and displayed in the client side. We are also working on a branch on launchpad to use Genshi directly in HTML. we made a new system based on genshi, that will use HTML+CSS templates: * HTML TEMPLATE -> HTML (with datas) Or * HMTL TEMPLATE -> HTML -> PDF (Using Pisa) So that you can define complex styles in CSS. > It seems that it is no WebDAV support in document module in launchpad. Where > is > WebDAV protocol implemented in Open ERP? Yes, it has been removed because it was not suitable in production: * Crashed when serving too much documents (very very slow). * Did not worked correctly with all WebDAV clients, especially on some Windows. And, we did not find a better alternative in Python, so we preferred to remove it and re-implement in FTP. -------------------- m2f -------------------- -- http://www.openerp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=27680#27680 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ Tinyerp-users mailing list http://tiny.be/mailman/listinfo/tinyerp-users
