ODT export displays incorrect title and author in libreoffice

ODT export displays incorrect title and author in libreoffice

Hi,

I am not sure if my problem is with org or with libreoffice; most
likely, the combination of the two!  In any case, when I export to ODT,
the title and author fields do not appear as they should, instead
displaying "DocInformation:Title" and "DocInformation:Created".  See
attached screenshot.

The ODT file itself (well, the content.xml file within), however, does
contain the correct information for the title and subtitle fields:

,----
| <text:p text:style-name="OrgTitle">
| <text:title>t.org</text:title></text:p>
| <text:p text:style-name="OrgTitle"/>
| <text:p text:style-name="OrgSubtitle"><text:initial-creator>Eric S Fraga</text:initial-creator></text:p>
| <text:p text:style-name="OrgSubtitle"/>
`----

I use libreoffice very little so I have not customised it at all.  This
is on an ubuntu installation, by the way.

The weird thing is that I cannot find the string anywhere...

Any pointers to fixing this would be most welcome.

thanks,
eric

I cannot reproduce.  Does it happen from emacs -q and the latest Org?

I use

- Org-mode version 8.3beta (release_8.3beta-476-gd4cce4)
- Libreoffice 4.3.2

and this document looks fine:

    #+TITLE: t
    #+AUTHOR: r
    * h
    1. a

Hi Rasmus,

Yes, with emacs -Q and org is up to date from yesterday.

I have noticed that with emacs -Q, ox-odt picks up schema from
/usr/share/emacs/etc/org/schema.  However, there are no differences in
the schema.  There are differences in the .../org/styles but nothing
that should affect this.

Alternatively, and more likely, I wonder if it's the installation of
libreoffice?  Could I have some leftover customisation lurking
somewhere?  I don't use libreoffice often enough to be comfortable with
it...

thanks,
eric

Won't you pick up Org shipped with Emacs with emacs -Q?

I don't know.  You can change the path of style files setting
`org-odt-styles-dir'.  For me the "wrong" dirs are also picked up.
This might be a bug?

Maybe you can reset it by: 

  mv ~/.config/libreoffice{,.bak} 

Or something like that...

yes I would but I set the load path before I load org so I pick up the
new version.

Thanks.  I'll try this.
