Subject: org-remember to org-capture
Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:05:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F22AF3E.70109@os.inf.tu-dresden.de> (raw)
Hi,
I am in the process of switching from org-remember to org-capture.
I used a custom function with org-remember to capture into a
host-specific sub-tree under "* Inbox" in order to minimize git merge
conflicts between my machines.
My tree typically looks like this:
* Inbox
*** Inbox:host1
***** INBOX idea 1
***** INBOX idea 2
*** Inbox:host2
***** INBOX idea 3
The custom function with org-remember only needed to create the target
headline's name. Org-remember would find it or create it (IIRC):
---->8----------------------------------------------------------------
(defun my-host-name ()
"Returns the name of the current host minus the domain."
(let ((hostname (downcase (system-name))))
(save-match-data
(substring hostname (string-match "^[^.]+" hostname) (match-end 0)))))
(defun my-org-remember-headline ()
(concatenate 'string "Inbox:" (my-host-name)))
---->8----------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is now that org-capture expects a function that creates
the target node and positions point at a child of the target, is this
correct?
My hacky solution is to use the file+function template and looks like
this:
---->8----------------------------------------------------------------
(defun my-org-capture-function ()
(goto-char
(org-find-exact-headline-in-buffer
(concatenate 'string "Inbox:" (my-host-name)) nil t))
(org-end-of-line)
(org-insert-subheading ""))
---->8----------------------------------------------------------------
But it looks clumsy and always inserts as first child. Is there a
more elegant approach, maybe using the refiling mechanism?
Thanks,
Martin
