I think Charles is referring to the following in org-capture-templates's
doc string:
,----
| (file+function "path/to/file" function-finding-location)
| A function to find the right location in the file
|
| ...
|
| (function function-finding-location)
| Most general way, write your own function to find both
| file and location
`----
I tried using the first (in a very simple minded way) but it was late last
night, I was tired and I couldn't get it to work in five minures, so I gave
up:
(WARNING: DOES NOT WORK)
,----
| (setq org-capture-templates
| '(...
| ("X" "Experimental function for Charles Cave" entry (file+function
"~/lib/org/charles.org" cc-date-tree) "* DONE %?
| %U %a" :prepend t)
| ...
| ))
|
| (defun cc-date-tree ()
| (let ((year 2010)
| (weeknum 32))
| (format "%4d-Week-%2d" year weeknum)))
`----
(WARNING: DOES NOT WORK)
So maybe I have it completely wrong, maybe this is close, but at this
point I just don't know.
Also, I saw in the doc string the following:
,----
| (file+datetree "path/to/file")
| Will create a heading in a date tree
`----
which might do exactly what Charles wants in this case, without having
to write a function? But I have no idea how datetrees work, so this
too might be off.
Thanks,
Nick
