bibtex fields in remember templates

bibtex fields in remember templates

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 702 bytes --]

Hello!

I am wondering whether it would be possible to have access to the values
of bibtex fields in remember templates when calling remember from a
buffer in bibtex mode.  I would like to define a template that includes
a link to the bibtex entry, but which also lays out a brief citation.
Something like

"* TO_READ%?\n %a\n %:author (%:year).  %:title.  %:journal: %:pages."

I know that links to bibtex entries are created using the custom search
mechanism, but I can't figure out how to expose properties of the bibtex
entry to remember or org-remember.

Thanks for any help,
/au

This is, I think, hard using the current mechanism.  I believe it  
would be
much better to create a new link type for BibTeX, now that this is  
possible.
The it would also be easy to set a lot of info that can be accessed by
templates.....

Any volunteers?

Please check org-bibtex.el here:

  http://www.cognition.ens.fr/~guerry/u/org-bibtex.el

This package does not affect the way BibTeX entries are stored and
inserted but it provides more information on them thru properties.
Typically, you'll use this information in *remember* templates.

So for example:

(setq org-remember-templates 
  '((?b "* READ %?\n\n%a\n  %:author (%:year): %:title  In %:journal, %:pages.")))

will insert to relevant information about the author, the year, etc.

Hey cool!  I had been thinking about a full new link type with its own
prefix and search routine....  But yes, a new link prefix is
not necessary, it is just a file, after all.

Great solution, as well for the Lisp symbols - but I cannot
get the :keys to work.  How is it supposed to work?

I didn't know whether the question was for org-bibtex.el or for
org-elisp-symbol.el but it appears it was relevant in both cases :)

- org-bibtex.el: you can now use the :key property to get the "=key="
  value of an entry (as well as the :btype for bibliographic type, if
  any)

- org-elisp-symbol.el: fixed! You can use the :keys property to get the
  keys associated with the command.
