org-remember and lists

org-remember and lists

[Radosław Grzanka]

Hello,
  I'm trying to tweak remember templates to follow my needs but I
fail. I want to do template for my shopping list entries like this:

(setq org-remember-templates (list
			       (list "shopping" ?s "- [ ] %?\n" (concat org-directory
"notes.org") "Shopping List")
))

However after saving, there is header prepended to this like:

** Thu Mar 24 21:32:49 2011 (- [ ] apples)
   - [ ] apples

I don't want this - I already have heading with all the info I need "*
Shopping List". ;) I don't know how to accomplish that.

Any help?

Thanks,
  Radek.

I’m not sure what the problem is here, but ‘org-capture’ is preferred
over remember these days; maybe that would work better for you:

,----
| (require 'org-capture)
| (global-set-key (kbd "C-M-z") 'org-capture) ; use any key you like
| (setq org-capture-templates `(("s" "Shopping" checkitem
|                                (file+headline ,(concat org-directory
"notes.org")
|                                               "Shopping List"))))
`----

Take a look at the manual for more.[1] You may need to update your Org
installation and add the ‘contrib’ directory to ‘load-path’ in order
to use ‘org-capture’.

Hope this helps,

   Yep! That solved it. I think I come from stone age when "remember" 
was preffered ;) . Thanks for help.
