I can't do either or both since you don't tell what exactly isn't working, but there had been extensive changes to the list stuff before the 7.5 release and there have been fixes and enhancements to it after that release. At least one of those fixes involved the toggle boxes (it had to do with drawers IIRC), so maybe you should try the newest version of org and see if that fixes your problem.

Somehow I couldn't get your new function to work. The variable is set to append, and I removed all org-modes from my system except the latest from git. I even ensured that this code gets executed: (append (mapconcat #'identity named "\n")) However, the output I get is the same as before - it just uses the first source block. Incidentally, why do we need "\n" as a separator? What if I wanted to do (in Python) def func(a, b, <>): stuff In other words, I want to add more arguments later on.

[O] [babel] variable org-babel-function-def-export-keyword not respected?
Hello, At some point in the distant org past, I seem to recall that named source code blocks were exported with their names in tact. Now (latest git pull, Org-mode version 7.5 (release_7.5.367.gc4737)) the code is only exported, and not the name of the block. For example, export the following to HTML. * a block here's a named block #+source: rand(n) #+begin_src R runif(n) #+end_src") This seems in conflict with the doc-string for the following variable. (defvar org-babel-function-def-export-keyword "function" "The keyword to substitute for the source name line on export. When exporting a source block function, this keyword will appear in the exported version in the place of source name line. A source block is considered to be a source block function if the source name is present and is followed by a parenthesized argument list. The parentheses may be empty or contain whitespace. An example is the following which generates n random \(uniform) numbers. #+source: rand(n) #+begin_src R runif(n) #+end_src") Am I interpreting this correctly? Thanks! --e

You should add to add.el some more initialization: you probably need to
set the load-path and require the org-latex package - something like
this, but you should more or less mimic the way you initialize org mode
in your .emacs:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/src/emacs/org/org-mode/lisp"))
;maybe
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\|txt\\)$" . org-mode))
(require 'org-install) ; maybe
(require 'org-latex)
...apa stuff from above...
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
Remember: -batch implies -q so your .emacs file is completely ignored:
you have to do any initialization you need in the add.el file.

Re: [O] Audio/video file playback in org mode
I'll jump in and mention a solution to an at least similar problem I hacked, albeit incompletely, some time ago. I baldly stole code from "dired-mplayer" at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/EMMS#toc10 , and have been using the result, "dired-vlc" ever since. The main point of this was to play videos asynchronously, so I could continue editing, taking notes using the relative timer of org-mode. Two more things would make this process work better, at least for me: 1. write a few lines into this that would open another buffer, possibly through capture, starting the relative timer automagically. 2. figure out how to pause the video and the timer simultaneously. Here is the code to dired-vlc. I am not interested in making this work for windows, have no idea whether it would, or how to make it do so. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE ;; -*- mode: elisp -*- ;; Time-stamp: <2009-01-13 14:27:47 orm> ;; AED 05 January 2009 ; (require 'org) (defvar dired-vlc-program "/usr/bin/vlc") (defun dired-vlc (&optional timer) "Asynchronously start vlc on file through dired. If an optional argument is given (C-u), the org relative timer is started. This function purports to start vlc in rc mode, to leave open the possibility of remote control." (interactive "P") (let ((file (expand-file-name (dired-get-filename))) ext files basename dir curr-file ;idx-file sub-file srt-file command options) (setq basename (file-name-nondirectory (file-name-sans-extension file))) (setq dir (file-name-directory file)) (setq files (directory-files dir t basename)) (delete file files) (setq command (format "\"%s\" \"%s" dired-vlc-program "--intf rc")) (if (y-or-n-p (format "Run command %s?" command)) (start-process "junk" nil dired-vlc-program file))) (if (equal timer '(4)) (org-timer-start)) ) ;; end dired-vlc.el #+END_EXAMPLE I am interested in what you are doing, also, and I will try it out in a month or two, after I retire and relocate.

[O] custom IDs not exported
Commit 438536f6157794101ce0957e39cad6bf70580751 („Change underscores to hyphens in section labels“) broke the export of CUSTOM_IDs. Take for instance this file: --- #+TITLE: Cosas por hacer * Programas :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: programas :END: ** emacs :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: emacs :END: Editor de textos When exporting (C-c C-e H) you get this table of contents: 1 Programas 1.1 emacs - The first one is correct because it is first-level. All non-first-level get #sec-NUMBERS instead of the custom ID. Not only the table of contents; the header's ID is also wrong: 1.1 emacs Tested with current org-mode. Greetings, Daniel

This patch has been applied. So now with the pygments package installed [1]
(providing the `pygmentize` executable), minted pdf export of source
code requires only
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(require 'org-latex)
(setq org-export-latex-listings 'minted)
(add-to-list 'org-export-latex-packages-alist '("" "minted"))
#+end_src

[O] "No definition for class" error in export to latex
Hi,
I am an org-mode newbie and trying to learn how to export to latex and html
from the command line, and have encountered a difficulty when I include a
custom class in the latex header. Here's a sample file ("test-file.org") I'm
using:
***
#+TITLE: Test
#+LaTeX_CLASS: apa
file contents
***
and here is the command I'm using:
/Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs -batch \
--visit=test-file.org \
--funcall org-export-as-latex-batch
which gives me the output
OVERVIEW
Exporting to LaTeX...
No definition for class `apa' in `org-export-latex-classes'
and no .tex file output. From within Aquamacs, I don't get this error,
presumably because I have the following in my .emacs file:
(add-to-list 'org-export-latex-classes
'("apa"
"\\documentclass{apa}

\\usepackage{graphicx}
\\usepackage{apacite}"
("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}")
))
How can I make this modification of org-export-latex-classes from the command
line? I have tried putting the above content in a file ("$HOME/tmp/add.el")
and making the call
/Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs -batch \
--load $HOME/tmp/add.el \
--visit=test-file.org \
--funcall org-export-as-latex-batch
but this gives me the error
Symbol's value as variable is void: org-export-latex-classes
I would be very grateful for any suggestions! This is GNU Emacs 23.3.1
(Aquamacs 2.2) and Org mode 7.5.
Incidentally, trying to export to HTML with
/Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs -batch \
--visit=test-file.org \
--funcall org-export-as-html-batch

Re: [O] Literate Programming - Continue a Source Block?
Hi Neeum, Thanks for your feedback. Your point is well taken about the flexibility of header arguments, and the ability of a header argument based solution to overwrite blocks. I would mention that variables such as the newly introduced `org-babel-tangle-named-block-combination' may be easily set on a per-file bases using file local variables---basically adding a line like the following to the top of your Org-mode file. # -*- org-babel-tangle-named-block-combination:append -*- While there is no way to specify this on the block level, I would tend to think that specifications such as ":tangle no" or simply renaming the block would suffice in most cases. This still does not address the subtree level. I think that a general solution for setting variable values at the subtree level might be widely useful and could be something worth pursuing Org-wide. Moving forward from here, my proposal would be that we all try out the current support using noweb references and the new named-block behavior and discover experientially if and what new features would be desirable. On a related note I hereby declare that the newly implemented named-block behavior should be considered experimental, and support for it may be removed if a better solution presents itself. Cheers -- Eric Neeum Zawan writes: > Eric Schulte writes: I like the concision of the "=original-name" syntax used by noweb, but I would lean towards the use of a ":noweb-append" type header argument as suggested above because currently the names of blocks in Babel carry no semantic content and I'd prefer to leave it this way. >>> >>> I suppose it may also break compatibility in case someone out there >>> uses >>> the =symbol. >>> >>> Had it been thought of earlier, I would have preferred the default >>> behavior being append if you have multiple blocks of the same name, >>> and an explicit option *not* to append but to overwrite, but your >>> idea makes the most sense with respect to preserving backward >>> compatibility. >>> >>> In addition to append, there probably should be another option for >>> overwriting instead of appending (neither is possible right now). >>> >> >> I've just pushed up a patch which implements optional block >> combination during tangling.

Anyone who can > attest or reject this statement? > Works here: Org-mode version 7.5 (baseline.273.g889a48) Before blaming org, please do your due diligence: Execute the function by hand, with M-x org-toggle-checkbox RET, and *report the results*: "it does not work" is just not specific enough, because it depends on your expectations which may or may not match reality. If it does nothing, then say so explicitly. Is the key still bound to the correct function? C-h c C-c C-x C-b will tell you whether the key is still bound to what it is supposed to be bound to (org-toggle-checkbox in this case). If not, then you are probably using some minor mode that hijacks the key. Check the mode line for what minor modes you are running, eliminate them one by one and see if you can get the functionality back. If this doesn't resolve it, next start up emacs without your customizations, just a minimal .emacs file that initializes org-mode, visit the file and do the things above again. I keep a very short minimal.emacs file for exactly this purpose, start up emacs with emacs -q -l ~/minimal.emacs and try to reproduce the problem. In 99% of problems, these are enough to identify the culprit. If you feel a bit adventurous and have the time, you can learn a bit about debugging (see section 18.2, "Edebug", of the Elisp manual) and trace the execution of the function. If you don't know elisp, you may feel somewhat apprehensive about this, but it's a good way to dig deeper into emacs. Nick

The representation should make it easy to do the next step. o Converters between the generic in-memory representation and various other formats (diary, org) are then needed. o The refactoring of the original icalendar.el will essentially do this for a diary representation. An org converter along these lines can then be fairly easily written I think. o These converters are ripe for what Kernighan and Plauger call a "left-corner" development approach: just bite the smallest useful subset and add features as needed, deliberately and carefully. Both the current implementation of org-icalendar and Eric F.'s awk script would be useful in this respect: they basically cover the basic functionality needed (but perhaps not completely, as Philipp points out). I've been working on this along these lines, but time constraints have made progress almost imperceptibly slow. BTW, the reason I've become interested in this is that recently I started being bombarded with meeting invitations generated from (what else?) M$ Outlook. My former method of adding the invitations to my Org appointment book by hand is just not sufficient any longer. So I have mercilessly hacked icalendar.el to invoke an org-capture with the details, so I can just look it over and file it quickly. At the other end, I modify the mh-e show hook to scan the message for text/calendar attachments and kick off the icalendar stuff. But it's not working very well yet, the hacked icalendar implementation is ugly (think Medusa- turns-you-to-stone-if-you-look-at-it-ugly) and there are bugs (the most serious of which is the icalendar timezone stuff that I referred to in a recent thread). I'm trying to fixg the bugs and am working on the back-end usability stuff in order to survive the onslaught - but the icalendar stuff in the middle is likely to remain unspeakably ugly in the foreseeable future - I just have no time for it. So if anybody is interested, I hope this is useful as a starting point. Nick
[O] MobileOrg Android
I just joined the 21st century and got a smart phone. I downloaded the MobileOrg for Android application, and have some questions, most of them are probably dumb, because I have only played with the phone for a bit. 1) Is there documentation regarding the various setups/syncing modes? I would like to know how to get data off my phone, put .org files on my phone. I know how to use Dropsend, etc, but I would probably rather just use rsync or git to sync the phone's data. 2) The menu for MobileOrg Android has an "Outline" button, but it doesn't do anything. 3) In "Configure Synchronization Settings" there's a setting where you specify where index.org is. What do I put in there? Is this setting affected by the other Synchronization settings? 4) What does "Sync" actually mean? Is it like rsync where it copies the latest file, or does it attempt a merge? What happens if you have new stuff in each file? Does DropSend asking you which one you want, or provide a diff tool? As you can see, I'm very new to Android and have no idea what I'm doing :-) I do plan (within the next few months) to start learning how to develop on Android platform, and I think that Mobile Org Android would be a good "Scratch your own itch" program to start with. I'd be more than willing to start a FAQ on the Github Wiki with any answers that I get from this post. Thanks, --Nate

You do not strictly need to, but this is the only way you do not create double events when exporting an org file to .ics and importing it into google calendar. If you do use them, a change in a date in org-mode will be reflected as such in google calendar. Note that if you /do/ want to store uids for the reason I just wrote, /and/ if you use diary sexps, you'll need an up-to-date Emacs (from bazaar) and below patch to org-icalendar.el (this has not been applied yet to org-mode, alas).

Re: [O] Status google calendar sync
Unfortunately, both the awk script and the org-export-icalendar seem to have quite a hard time with repeating entries. ical2org does not honor RRULE at all, the export has some very basic and very fragile support, but anything like <%%(org-diary-class 16 02 2011 18 05 2011 3)> or SCHEDULED: <2011-02-20 Sun +1w -2d> already fails it. I think this is an important topic, especially wrt mobile devices. Better interoperability with other calendering systems would greatly benefit the org user experience. -- Philipp Haselwarter

Re: [O] Agenda Bulk Scatter bug
G'day Carsten (and the others who've latched onto this issue), When I first saw the thread dealing with decode-time ... I frankly had no idea how this related to the issue I'd reported. However, a few things have become clearer to me and perhaps what I see may help. Here is what I see on: GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.0) of 2009-09-27 on crested, modified by Debian when evaluating in the scratch buffer: (decode-time (days-to-time (time-to-days (current-time (0 0 8 11 6 3980 3 nil 28800) and when I use BS on my orgmode (git commit c4737ae48b84308e1ac201531aca392a81529974) agenda in this system and item is rescheduled as such: SCHEDULED: <3980-06-17 Tue> Eureka! This seems to relate to what Carsten has picked up on. in ANOTHER Emacs GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) of 2009-08-02 on radon, modified by Debian I see this from the scratch buffer: (decode-time (days-to-time (time-to-days (current-time [NOTHING RETURNED] with the following backtrace Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid time specification") decode-time((968069 63616)) eval((decode-time (days-to-time (time-to-days ... eval-last-sexp-1(t) eval-last-sexp(t) eval-print-last-sexp() call-interactively(eval-print-last-sexp nil nil) The NOTHING returned here seems consistent with my originally reported rescheduling with a lost date. The main difference between these two Emacs here is one is running on a 64 bit (40C date), the other a 32 bit machine (no date). I can also report that in orgmode 7.5 (release version) there is no problem. My uneducated wild guess here would be that some code that somehow "patched" the date calculations in 7.5 has been removed or changed so as not to work. Hope this of some help. I'm not quite in a position to do the git-bisect Christian suggested.

Looking at the code, the function doesn’t need to return anything; it
just needs to place point where you want the new headline to appear.
Therefore, you can use ‘org-find-olp’ to locate the entry:
,[ C-h f org-find-olp RET ]
| org-find-olp is a compiled Lisp function in `org.el'.
|
| (org-find-olp PATH &optional THIS-BUFFER)
|
| Return a marker pointing to the entry at outline path OLP.
| If anything goes wrong, throw an error.
| You can wrap this call to catch the error like this:
|
| (condition-case msg
| (org-mobile-locate-entry (match-string 4))
| (error (nth 1 msg)))
|
| The return value will then be either a string with the error message,
| or a marker if everything is OK.
|
| If THIS-BUFFER is set, the outline path does not contain a file,
| only headings.
`
So the code would look something like this:
,
| (org-find-olp '("2011" "May" "Sub-headline") t)
`
