Platform Ubuntu 18.04 w/chromium browser TDF NC server LOOLWSD 6.4 LOKit 6.4.1.2 Steps to reproduce: Setup for template use 1 - create a folder My Templates in your private area 2 - Open the NextCloud settings page for your account 3 - Go to the LOOL section "which erroneously says Collabora when there" 4 - Enter My Templates in the box 'select a template directoy 5 - get out of the setup pages 6 - add one or more template files (I used one .ott and one .xltx) 7 - Start to create a new Document for either Writer or Calc 8 - After giving the new document a name the Template selection Window opens 9 - select one of the template files (not 'Blank') Result Error box with: "Failed to load the document. Please ensure the file is supported and not corrupted, and try again." Expected New document based on the template Note: the new file is created but appears to be using the Blank template still.
Also from open issue 120383 (also on templates sort of) it looked like perhaps LOOL might want a standard document instead of a template file - so I tried that also, but only actual templates are listed in the template picker window.
Ah - seems the problem was a server configuration and not the LOOL software. Resolving
which server configuration has been needed to resolve this?
compiling with --with-webdav=serf helps.
