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?

I could help you to develop anything and solve complex problems based on technologies, integrations and tricky stuffs mostly in Python with OpenERP/Odoo, Zato, Django and many others frameworks programming languages and technologies.

I offers consulting services to anyone with an unanswered questions or needs for customizations. Think about it, maybe it's better to have an expert to solve your issues and projects than having a full-time employee trying to understand what to do and how

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">
 
 </para>
 </td>
 <td>
 <para style="P7">
 
 </para>
 </td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
 <td>
 <para style="P7">
 
 </para>
 </td>
 <td>
 <para style="P7">
 
 </para>
 </td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
 <td>
 <para style="P7">
 
 </para>
 </td>
 <td>
 <para style="PTR">[[ objects[0].amount_total ]] </para>
 </td>
 </tr>
 </blockTable>
</place>
</pageGraphics>
</pageTemplate>

Hope this helps!!
