I've been trying out org-mode instead of planner-el for a few weeks now. I like
it. However, there are a few things I miss. One is how easy it was to ad my own
hyperlink types. This was all I needed to add Bugzilla::<number> links:
(setq muse-wiki-interwiki-alist
'(("Bugzilla" . "http://10.1.2.9/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=")))
So what do you think about some way of adding customizable hyperlinks?

Would you care to expand? Sure. I'm acually abusing interwiki links. In my planner files, I can quicky use "Bugzilla::1234" as a link to bug number 1234. Planner sees that as an interwiki link (the ::) . Pressing return over the link while in planner or following the link in the published html actually goes to http://10.1.2.9/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1234 I *could* use something like [[http://10.1.2.9/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1234][Bug# 1234]], but that's a lot to type in. Hmm. It wouldn't be too hard to whip up some elist that generates a link like that. What I'm really asking is a way to extend the current list of link types (gnus:, file:, vm:, etc.) with some user-defined types. > On Sep 22, 2006, at 23:57, Dale Smith wrote: > >> I've been trying out org-mode instead of planner-el for a few weeks >> now.

How about an alist of (type . replacement), with string as simple string replacement, and maybe a function to call for a more complicated transformation? (defun bar-converter (arg) (concat "http://some.site/" arg "/?key=yadda")) (setq org-userlink-alist '((foo . "http://some.foo.org/") (bar . bar-converter))) So then links like: foo:something -> http://some.foo.org/something. bar:123 -> http://some.site/123/?key=yadda Just and idea.. -Dale -- Dale P.

"http://some.foo.org/") (bar . "http://some.site/%s/?key=yadda"))) Thanks. - Carsten On Sep 25, 2006, at 20:29, Dale Smith wrote: > Dale Smith <dales@vxitech.com> writes: > >> What I'm really asking is a way to extend the current list of link >> types (gnus:, file:, vm:, etc.) with some user-defined types. > > How about an alist of (type . replacement), with string as simple > string replacement, and maybe a function to call for a more complicated > transformation? > > (defun bar-converter (arg) > (concat "http://some.site/" arg "/?key=yadda")) > > (setq org-userlink-alist > '((foo .

Seems to me that there are really two issues here. One is the idea you point out with the bugzilla example. I would like to call this "link abbreviations". I like the idea and think it could be used in many ways. It might also be useful to allow setting such abbreviations on a per-file base with lines like #+LINKABBREV: Bugzilla "http://10.1.2.9/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=" The second issue you are mentioning is an extensible link system like muse has it, where new link types like gnus, vm and other can be defined and hooked into the the system. The muse system is of an admirable generality, but so far I have chosen not to follow the same road, because (at least in planner, I don't know about muse itself) the generality forces you to put a long list of require statements into .emacs before the system will function properly even for the standard cases most people need. A system which just has all important types built-in and active seems more user-frienly (though less hacker-friendly) to me. - Carsten On Sep 25, 2006, at 19:55, Dale Smith wrote: > Carsten Dominik <dominik@science.uva.nl> writes: > >> I am not using planner.el, so I can only guess how this feature is >> supposed to work.
