Subject: org-capture templates with file+olp target
Date: Sun, 22 Aug 2010 22:56:37 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C71F175.2040809@ccbr.umn.edu> (raw)
Hello,
Using latest org-mode from git.
I'm trying to set up a simple org-capture template, to write
to a file test.org. The first two lines below simply
define a path to some org mode file.
My confusion with the template is when I invoke org-capture --
I have it set to C-c c --, and then hit `t`, everything works
as I'd hope. (the file+headline target)
But when I hit `b`, (the file+olp target), I get an error,
which I can avoid by hardcoding the filename instead of using
the org-test-file variable in that case. I get the error:
find-file-noselect: Wrong type argument: stringp, org-test-file
from the org-find-olp function in org.el.
I tried to debug, and it looks like that variable is not getting
evaluated for some reason. I'm sure it's obvious to someone,
but is there a way around this?
Hardcoding the path is actually problematic, since my org
files are passed around various machines using git/Dropbox,
and therefore the path is different depending on where I
am located.
Below is the simplest example I could come up with, just
create a ~/test.org file and try it out.
;; a path to some org-files
(setq org-test-path "/tmp")
;; a specific org-file
(setq org-test-file (concat org-test-path "/test.org"))
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline org-test-file "Tasks")
"* TODO %?\n %i\n %a")
("b" "Buy" item (file+olp org-test-file "Stuff to Buy" "House")
"")))
