[Solved] Template Download Error

Post by wanderluck »

As a new(er) user of OOo, I was looking through the options to make schedules for myself and my family. Obviously, there are no built-in templates, so I went into the Download archive in search. While I never found a template for schedules, I did see a couple of other templates I wanted, so I tried. I got a 404 on all[/] attachment attempts. Is there a current break being managed on downloads that I missed somewhere? (SourceForge does not take responsibility, as seen in attachment.)

This problem was reported to the AOO dev list a couple of hours ago. It's not just you.

This solution was posted on the Apache OpenOffice User mailing list today by Dick Groskamp (credit where it is due!):

> the site for the Templates was malfunctioning and is decommissioned.
> Unfortunately, we do not have a replacement yet.

> But:
> if you know the name of your template, or the one you're looking for
> you can still look for it on the site for Templates.

> When you hoover over the Download button you will see something like:
> templates.openoffice.org/template/download/60833
> in the bottom left corner

> That last number is the identification for your template.
> Insert it in the link (like below):
> https://sourceforge.net/projects/aoo-te ... les/60833/
> and that will take you to the download page.

With the appropriate change for the template identifier this ought work for you.

Thanks for the help, folks. Restoring a little bit of faith in humanity and refreshing my old-person tech affection for chat forums - what a morning. :super:
