I created a template extension with a single writer template file. I used
the instructions from
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Non-code_extensions
to create this extension. The extension is loaded by opening the .oxt file
and the template is then
available correctly.
I then updated the extension (changing some styles in the document, updating
version num) and re-
created the .oxt file and then opened the new .oxt file. The extension
manager appears and prompts
me if I want to overwrite the template. I select Ok. The License agreement
page appears, I accept it
and the extension appears to be installed.
But - the template is not actually updated. When I create a new document using
the template, it is
clearly using the old template file.
The problem occurs in both Open Office 3.0.1 (OOO300m15, Build 9379) and Star
Office 9
(OOO300m9 Build 9358) and I have seen it on MacOsX (multiple machines) and
Windows XP. I have
not yet tried other versions.
Having looked behind the scenes a little:
The extension packages end up within this directory:
.../user/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages
There is a file named
"./registry/data/org/openoffice/ucb/Hierarchy.xcu",
which seems to be the place were the reference to the templates is stored. But
the reference in here is
to the old version. So it seems the extension updater is not updating this file.
I tried updating Hierarchy.xcu manually and this fixes the problem. So the
problem seems to be a
failure to update Hierarchy.xcu.
