org-annotation-helper

[Daniel M German]

hi everybody,

I took the liberty of updating the elisp file that John Rakestraw sent
last week. I (think) have improved a bit and the description should be
easier to follow. I have also made it possible to insert the selected
text into the current buffer (the code was there, I just had to grab
it).

One major change: i have replaced the separator from "%1C" to
"::remember::" (the %1C never worked for me).

Let me know if you have questions/problems.

Hi,

I have now added this file to the contrib/lisp directory.  If
any of the authors does not agree with thi, please let me know.

Re: org-annotation-helper

[John Rakestraw]

Hi Dan, Carsten, Alan and others --

Dan, thanks for following up on this.

Carsten, I'm happy to have this added to the contrib/lisp directory.
However, I really shouldn't be listed in the code as an author. Bastien
did the initial adaptations of the code from the emacs-planner list. I
sent it to the list in response to Dan's query, but I think the only
tweak I added to the code (it's been months, so I'm not sure) was to
comment out one line that seemed redundant to me. These other guys are
the coders.

Alan, just to reinforce Dan's encouragement -- I remember being a
little puzzled when I first tried to set this up, but the perseverance
was well worth it -- it's been a great tool to get annotated links into
an org file collection. You're right, there are three bits of code --
the bookmarklets added to your browser, the shell script that Dan
calls the handler, and the org-annotation-helper.el module. Then you
have your org-remember template, but you don't even have to write that
-- just use Dan's. To set it all up, just work through Dan's
step-by-step listed in the commentary on the code. It's not nearly as
complicated as you might think -- and you can come back with particular
questions if you encounter problems. (Don't mean to be pushy or glib --
just a satisfied user....)

How do you use this ? when I call it it just opens up the remember
buffer and asks me for a template.

Right. If you have a remember template defined appropriately (Dan gives
an example of his in his code that you could use after very minor
modification), then the different elements of what you've snatched from
the web page (URL, page title, and text copied from the page) into
their proper place for filing away in the org file designated in the
template.

John is right. You need to read the org manual on templates, so you can
define your own.  It is imperative. the template specifies the data you
want to use (region == highlighted text, link is the URL + title). BTW,
I store the region is a temp buffer *org-ann* where you can get it
directly if needed (current region is the last use of the module). I
don't delete the previous copies (for debugging purposes now, but I'll
probably do it in the next release).

org-annotation-helper

[Richard G Riley]

Can someone please confirm they have org-annotation-helper working with
Firefox/Iceweasel 3?

If I type "remember://hello" in the address bar it works fine. If,
however I click my bookmark with the following as the location then I
get "about:blank" as the embedded link in my new remember buffer:

javascript:location.href='remember://' + location.href + '::remember::'
+ escape(document.title) + '::remember::' +
escape(window.getSelection())


What could be wrong?

I have not been able to get org-annotation-helper working at all
w/Firefox 3. I get an unhandled exception in Javascript at the browser,
don't know why:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMLocation.href]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: javascript:location.href='remember://'+location.href+'::remember::'+escape(document.title)+'::remember::'+escape(window.getSelection()) :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1"  data: no]

One of these years, I hope to get some time to dig deeper. For now,
it's been back to copy-n-paste for me.

Sorry I can't help,
Nick

Re: org-annotation-helper

[Richard G Riley]

I have found that the released code is wrong. I got it working for a
short while by following the instructions at the following link but tiny
little issues like the formatting of the javascript cause some cut and
paste issues and can easily break the system. In addition, when I create
my remember bookmakr if I select "load this bookmark in the sidebar" it
stops working completely.

http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg06608.html

I will find out what the hiccup is today and post an update.

Re: org-annotation-helper

[Richard G Riley]

caveat : I do not know if this is optimal or even recommended but it now
works for me.

I have modified the code a little to remove hex from the actual link. I
have "boxquoted" all code so you will need to remove that.

firefox/iceweasel : To set up the bookmark link, simple create a new
book mark called "remember" in firefox and make this the location code:

,----
| javascript:location.href='remember://%20'+location.href+'%1C'+escape(document.title)+'%1C'+escape(window.getSelection())
`----

This is as simple as right click on your bookmark toolbar and
create new. Do *not* select "load this bookmark in the sidebar" - when I
selected this then links and region did not pass to the protocol handler
discussed in the comments below. I have no idea why and if someone could
explain why this should be I would be grateful.

Follow the instructions in the code to set up the shell script and the
protocol registry to handle the protocol when you click on the remember
bookmark. I would advise ignoring all "annotation" stuff and just
concentrate getting remember working for now.

The org-remember-template I now use is (note the addition of %:link which
shows the physical http link)

,----
| ("Web-Link" ?w "* %c \n  :PROPERTIES: \n  :Entered: %U\n  :END: \n\n  - link: %:link\n  - Quote:\n    %:region\n  - End Quote\n\n  %?\n" "bookmarks.org" "Unfiled Clips") 
`----

Using linux with X, I also modified the remember shell script to use wmctl to
bring emacs to the foreground.

I also reformatted the location codes to be on a single line.

I have a slightly different link, which works too:

javascript:location.href='remember://'+location.href+'::remember::'+escape(document.title)+'::remember::'+escape(window.getSelection())

On the subject of org-annotation-helper, the code has this comment about
%a:

> |         ;; FIXME can't access %a in the template -- how to set
> annotation? (raise-frame)

While I was trying to make this work, using a slightly earlier version,
I found that the %a would work if I had an active region selected at the
time. Before I could find out how to make a region active, or stop it
being needed, I found the new version of the code, and now I use
%:region. But it would be interesting to know why org-mode tests for
there being an active region; it seems to do it quite a lot. You need an
active region to convert a table with C-c |, for instance. Carsten, is
there any reason why it works this way?

Hi Peter,

how else should Org know the range of lines to convert?

If I use C-space to place the mark at the beginning of the table, and
move point to the end, then the region covers the table, and I would
expect C-c | to operate on the region. Instead, it ignores the region
and asks what size table to make. If I highlight a region using the
mouse, then it works.

Following Carstens post about using

(org-remember nil ?w)

to get the weblink template up with no prompting, and then using refile,
org-mode has taken on an entirely new position in my daily life - even
higher and more important! ....

my current template is:

	      ("Weblink" ?w "* %^{Title|%:description} %^g\n
	      :PROPERTIES: \n  :Entered: %U\n  :END: \n  - title:
	      %:title\n  - link: %:link\n  - Quote:\n    %:region\n  -
	      End Quote\n\n  %?\n" "weblinks.org" "WebLinks" ) 

since I wanted to see the physical http link in order to launch firefox
using a hot key I have (return default for me is w3m).

org-annotation-helper

[Robert Goldman]

Has anyone managed to get org-annotation-helper to work with Firefox 3
on Mac OSX Leopard?

I'm asking because I have the shell script in, working with emacs and
remember (from the shell), but when I try to invoke the remember links
from Firefox I get only the "protocol (remember) isn't associated with
any program" error.  This is known to occur when FF can't find the
program file, but AFAICT FF should be able to find the program file ---
I took the network.protocol-handler.app.remember preference value,
copied it into the shell, gave it a url, and it worked fine.

So there seems to be either

1.  something I'm not getting about how to define a ff protocol extension or

2.  something I don't get about invoking a shell script from FF in this
environment (rejected as a security hole in the latest FF?  Busted for
some reason under Mac OSX?).

If anyone has experience with this with the Mac, I'd be incredibly
grateful for any enlightenment.  For that matter, if anyone could even
tell me how I might get some trace information from FF when it tries to
handle this protocol, that would be great too.

Many thanks,
r

I've got something even nicer almost up and running, assuming you like
Quicksilver; assorted scripts to insert links and remember notes from
Safari, Mail, Mutt (Terminal), Skim, Bibdesk, and, to a lesser degree,
any application with an AppleScript dictionary. Call up a remember
buffer or file directly from Quicksilver, as you find
convenient. Basically an extension of org-annotation-helper.

It's currently very much tailored to my workflow, so will require some
editing for others, a fair amount of setting up and is still not documented.

I've got a hideous week ahead; once complete I'll post the scripts
(AppleScript, bash and elisp) in their present crude form.

Best wishes,

Christopher

Hi all,
I use org-annotation-helper.el with firefox.
When i have a region with multilines marked in firefox and i use

Somebody know how to fix that?
Thanks.

Hi Thiery,


this is a problem of HTML. HTML has no linebreaks (or better: they are
ignored). Since the browser doesn't know about the linebreaks, you
simple get one line of text.


Only lists are send with linebreaks it seems.


For normal text this is no problem, just press `M-q' and everything is
fine (still anoying when copying source code though).

Which kind of lists?

Yes the problem is for source code.
