I tried to use the storyPlace element in RML. But when I used it in OpenERP it did not work.

This is my code:
<story>
     <storyPlace x="1cm" y="0cm" width="10cm" height="1cm" origin="page">
          <para>Text inside storyPlace</para>
     </storyPlace>
     <para>Text outside storyPlace</para>
</story>


The text inside storyPlace not be displayed. but the text outside storyPlace can be displayed as normal. How can I make storyPlace work?

You can't use it, I have the same situation today and looking at OpenERP source code the tag storyPlace is not implemented maybe because reportlab platyplus doesn't provide support for this and I couldn't find any reference for this tag in the reportlab source code. The only reference about this is in the reportlab docs. I saw that an alternative reportlab implementation called z3c already have support for this tag.

The solution that I use is the place tag inside pageGraphics in pageTemplate. This let me put an blockTable at a given position. For example my pageTemplate looks like this:

<pageTemplate id="main1">
            <frame id="first" x1="28.0" y1="28.0" width="539" height="786"/>
            <pageGraphics>
                <drawCentredString x="10.5cm" y="0.8cm">Página <pageNumber/> de <pageCount/></drawCentredString>
                <place x="3cm" y="5cm" width="530.0" height="205.0">
                    <blockTable colWidths="235,235" style="Table_Heading">
                       <tr>
                            <td>
                                <para style="PT">[[ get_value_in_words(objects[0].amount_total) ]]</para>
                            </td>
                            <td>
                                <para style="PTR">[[objects[0].amount_untaxed]] </para>
                            </td>
                       </tr>
                       <tr>
                            <td>
                                <para style="P7">
                                        <font color="white"> </font>
                                </para>
                            </td>
                            <td>
                                <para style="P7">
                                        <font color="white"> </font>
                                </para>
                            </td>
                       </tr>
                       <tr>
                            <td>
                                <para style="P7">
                                        <font color="white"> </font>
                                </para>
                            </td>
                            <td>
                                <para style="P7">
                                        <font color="white"> </font>
                                </para>
                            </td>
                       </tr>
                       <tr>
                            <td>
                                <para style="P7">
                                        <font color="white"> </font>
                                </para>
                            </td>
                            <td>
                                <para style="PTR">[[ objects[0].amount_total ]] </para> 
                            </td>
                       </tr>
                    </blockTable>
                </place>
            </pageGraphics>
        </pageTemplate>

Hope this helps!!
