[O] MobileOrg Export Broken

[Ian Dunn]

I run Org from the git repo, updating daily.  I unsuccessfully tried 
syncing with MobileOrg (Android) about two hours ago.  I reverted org-mobile.el 
back to the version from yesterday and found the problem: TODO keywords aren't 
being listed correctly.  Here's an example:

Old:
#+TODO: TODO | DEFERRED DONE PENDING CANCELLED

New:
#+TODO: TODO

This messes with MobileOrg, preventing it from syncing.

I worked through the problem, which appears to be caused by org-delete-all 
being called before the TODO keywords are inserted into the file.  I attached a 
patch that fixes this problem.

[O] Help using [#] insert template options categories

[Nooreen Dabbish]

Dear org,

Basic question here: I use C-c-C-e-# to insert a  template header into my
org-mode files.
It prompts me for an Options category, and I always say default. However, I
have to manually edit it every time, changing the title and toc:t to
toc:nil and maybe other things. I might also drop in some LATEX_HEADER
statements, which I would prefer to do automagically.

I have searched extensively for any kind of documentation on how to create
a new default for this, but either I am not using the right search words or
this isn't documented. I would love some help!

Thanks,
Nooreen

Re: [O] org-ref: customizing bibtex key names generated by doi-utils

[John Kitchin]

You can customize the bibtex keys like this:

;; variables that control bibtex key format for auto-generation
;; I want firstauthor-year-title-words
;; this usually makes a legitimate filename to store pdfs under.
(setq bibtex-autokey-year-length 4
  bibtex-autokey-name-year-separator "-"
  bibtex-autokey-year-title-separator "-"
  bibtex-autokey-titleword-separator "-"
  bibtex-autokey-titlewords 2
  bibtex-autokey-titlewords-stretch 1
  bibtex-autokey-titleword-length 5)



The closest you can get changing the way citations are exported is
outlined here:

http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2015/12/11/Introduction-to-a-citation-processor-in-org-ref/

It is not yet an easy thing to do.

[O] org-ref: customizing bibtex key names generated by doi-utils

[David Dynerman]

Hi all,

I'm interested in exporting HTML from an org document that contains references 
managed by org-ref.

I'm running into the following problem. I have a reference that doi-utils added 
with a very long bibtex key:

@article{saldin09_struc_isolat_biomol_obtain_from ...

When exporting to html, org-ref uses this bibtex key as the link text in every 
citation. This quickly becomes unreadable, especially if you cite the above 
paper several times in a paragraph.

Does anyone know how easy it would be to customize the bibtex keys generated by 
doi-utils, for instance  by doi-add-bibtex-entry? For instance, if the above 
key were just the first author and year, it'd be

@article{Saladin2009

which would be much more readable after HTML export. I took a 30 mins look at 
the relevant doi-utils functions but couldn't piece out a reasonable way to 
make the change.

I guess another solution would be to modify HTML export to change citation link 
text, but that seems like the wrong place to make this change.

Any advice is appreciated!
David

Thanks.

by tex I meant latex (as in a metonymy where you use the extension for 
the language), so no particularly thrilling perspectives implied.

[O] Agenda view of BBDB entries with Hebrew dates for anniversaries

[ST]

Hi,

I managed to add anniversaries/birthdays to BBDB and display them in
org-agenda. Now I need to move to the next step and provide those dates
as Hebrew dates. In diary mode the dates seem to look like HSivan 17,
5776 . However if I put it to BBDB like anniversary: HSivan 17, 5776
birthday - I get error while trying to generate agenda view: bad-sexp at
line 5 /path/to/agenda.org (org-bbdb-anniversaries). Any ideas on how to
get it working?

Thank you!

Thanks anyway, I installed latest development sources and I appreciate the
work that has been done in this (and many other) areas: the new colview
produces a much nicer LaTeX!

One minor issue: previously I used a custom setting for the variable
`org-time-clocksum-format`, to print something like "2gg 03:10" instead of "2d
03:10". With the version currently distributed with Emacs 25.1 it was used for
both the "effort" and "clocksum" columns, now only on the latter (matching
name and documentation). Is there an equivalent setting for the "effort"
sum, to get a table with the two columns sharing the same style? I tried to
look around in the sources and in the doc but I missed it...

BTW, in lisp/org-colview.el there is what seems a typo in the name of the
function `org-columns-hscoll-title`: since accordingly with "git grep" it is
referenced in two places and only in that source, is the following acceptable?
