org-goto before headline

org-goto before headline

[Andrea Crotti]

What is exactly the reason for org-goto to need to be at least in the 
first headline to work?

I always get this error when I just try to jump in the first line:
byte-code: Before first headline at position 1 in buffer ..

Couldn't it jump anyway or maybe go to first headline if the not there yet?

I've updated from git just now to try again:
Org-mode version 7.7 (release_7.8.03.330.gc804)

Do you by any chance have `org-goto-interface' set to
outline-path-completion (or are you using org-goto with a prefix
argument)?

If so, I've also come across this problem. I think it's a bug in
org-goto, which should pass NO-EXCLUDE to org-refile-get-location (but
doesn't). The attached patch fixes this for me (or you can pull the
"org-goto" branch from http://www.dr-qubit.org/git/org-mode.git).

HTH,

Subject: [PATCH] Fix bug in org-goto `outline-path-completion' interface

* lisp/org.el (org-goto): call org-refile-get-location with NO-EXCLUDE
argument set, otherwise not only are headlines in the current subtree
excluded, but it throws an error if point happens not to be within a
subtree (e.g. at start of buffer).

Yes it was set to that..
I've tried the patch and it works perfectly here!
3 minutes to get a bug-fix is quite amazing ;)

Is the patch already pushed to master then?
Just to check, it would be sad if it gets lost in the way..

I inserted the magic [PATCH] tag in the subject line, so it's been picked
up by patchwork (patchwork.newartisans.com/project/org-mode/list/), and
will get reviewed by the org-mode maintainers in due course. But they've
got a fairly large stack of patches to review, so give them a chance to
get to it!

The fact that I already have copyright papers for emacs on file with the
FSF might help speed things up a bit if it's accepted.

Best,
Toby

Ah, okay then.  

I added you to http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html

Thanks again!

Applied, thanks.

I added TINYCHANGE at the end of the log: we need this for small patches
from contributors that did not sign the FSF papers (yet).  Let me know if
you want to sign them for further bigger contributions.

Best,
