Missing ShareLatex template

A compiled example should be available on ShareLatex.com, that would make it easier for students who are not as familiar with LaTeX.

I went to my old ShareLaTeX account. Apparently I had this idea before, because I found a project called miunthes which was last modified in August 2013. It compiles, but with some errors (that do not occur when I compile locally).

The errors: it complains on characters like "ö" not being defined for use although the inputenc package is loaded with the utf-8 option set. (Maybe the browser submits ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8? On the other hand I think that souce must be uploaded, so it shouldn't be it.)

In either case, there is a usage example available at the University. I rewrote the contents of the ODT-formatted report template for LaTeX using the miunthes class. However, since much of it is copied, I didn't include it when moving the repo to Github. I'll have to look into the legal aspects and then maybe I include it here and (if someone fixes the errors) publish it on ShareLaTeX.

Did you try changing compiler on sharelatex?
I know I'm using a modified version of the template and I've gotten utf8 to work properly, but it's been almost 2 years since I did the changes so I can't remember what I did.

I am also aware, the front page is not valid for the thesis work by the examinators unfortunately, because it's not identical to the ".odt" template. So what I've done is, I made the frontpage in the odt, saved it as a pdf and then I import it into my ShareLatex project as the frontpage.

I made a copy of my current project template I'm working on, so feel free to modify it or make copies as you like. https://www.sharelatex.com/project/581ba3c7144f5a6858c10b21
Keep in mind, this template contains modifications so it's not following your template to 100 %.

I never tried anything now. I'll have to look at it when I have more time. But it's good to have a version which works for ShareLaTeX. It's weird that the current one doesn't.

Yes, I'm not a fan of the front page in the ODT-version. If I had the time I would work on the communication department to change it. I had that ambition before, but now I'm too busy. The front page in the class was how much I was willing to compromise. So the current way to create the front page is the way you did (#1).

There is this project on Overleaf. (It's the same as linked above.) Now it compiles, I had to change to XeLaTeX though.

I submitted it as a template, it's pending approval from the OverLeaf team. So I consider this done.
