Good evening!
I am starting to use a more complex setup for org-mode, having left it
alone for more than a year. The setup I am using is documented here:
http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html
I am having a problem with setting up the org-agenda-files variable in
the startup code:
In my .emacs:
------------------------8<------------------------------------------------
(setq org-user-agenda-files ( quote ("~/git/org"
"~/git/org/test")))
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/lisp"))
(load "org-mode")
------------------------8<------------------------------------------------
In the org-mode.el file from the above site:
------------------------8<------------------------------------------------
;; The following setting is different from the document so that you
;; can override the document org-agenda-files by setting your
;; org-agenda-files in the variable org-user-agenda-files
;;
(if (boundp 'org-user-agenda-files)
(setq org-agenda-files org-user-agenda-files)
(setq org-agenda-files (quote ("~/git/org"
"~/git/org/client1"
"~/git/client2"))))
------------------------8<------------------------------------------------
So by setting org-user-agenda-files in my .emacs before loading
org-mode.el (which I have in my ~/.emacs.d/lisp directory), I should be
setting org-agenda-files to ("~/git/org" "~/git/org/test").
Results of executing the following code (in this order) in the scratch
buffer:
(boundp 'org-user-agenda-files) => t
org-user-agenda-files => ("~/git/org" "~/git/org/test")
(boundp 'org-agenda-files) => t
org-agenda-files => nil
(setq org-agenda-files org-user-agenda-files) => ("~/git/org"
"~/git/org/test")
org-agenda-files => ("~/git/org"
"~/git/org/test")
So I don't understand why the commands in .emacs and org-mode.el aren't
giving me the expected results. Have I missed something with my limited
knowledge of lisp?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
