Hi Simon,
I have a capture template that does almost exactly that, I just use a
user entered subheading -- should be easy enough to tweak for your task.
When chosen as a capture option, it asks for a discussion context and
looks up a 2nd level heading below "Discussion Items" matching that
context. If it exists, it just adds to it. If not, it creates a new
context at the end of the Discussion Items element. Note that you must
create "Discussion Items" first, and it must be top-level.
...cj
Capture template:
("d" "Discussion Item" item
(file+function
"~/org/Todo.org"
(lambda ()
(let* ((ctxt (read-string "Discussion context: "))
(ctxt-pt
(condition-case msg
(org-find-olp (list "Discussion Items" ctxt) t)
(error nil))))
(if ctxt-pt
(progn
(goto-char ctxt-pt)
(org-end-of-subtree)
(insert-string "\n"))
(goto-char (org-find-olp (list "Discussion Items") t))
(org-end-of-subtree)
(insert-string (format "\n** %s\n" ctxt)))))))

Hi all,
Is it possible with org-capture to create a template that would create
the following:
* Log
** 2012 - Week 33
- One liner of interest
- Another one liner of interest
So that is a capture template that generates the 2nd level heading when
required and the text entered is converted to a list entry which is
added to the end of the list.
(format-time-string "%G - Week %W") is the correct date string, but
file+headline creates a top level heading and file+olp expects it to
already exist.
It seems that the text entered must also become a sub heading. Is that
correct?
I'm trying to achieve something very similar to this

Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I haven't managed to strike gold in
the list archive.
