[O] caldav-sync owncloud on Digital Ocean servers and self signed certificates.

2016-06-07 Thread Paul Harper
I am trying to get org-caldav to work with my Owncloud which is running on
a Digital Ocean server.

I am getting the message

org-caldav-check-connection:[server address/path_to_calendar]does not
seem to accept DAV requests

I suspect the issue is related to the self signed certificates on the
Digital Ocean server.

Which my Android devices or with Firefox I can install the self signed
certificates and the Owncloud Calender syncs fine. I am not seeing a
way to do that with Emacs Org-Mode.

Is there a way to deal with self-signed certificates in Emacs Org with
org-caldav and Owncloud?

[O] Orgzly mobile Org-Mode app for Android now with folding

2016-05-16 Thread Paul Harper

I just noticed that Orgzly the mobile app for Android now has folding. I
think this will be replacing Mobile-Org for me.

1.4-beta.4 is out. It should be the last beta, if no issues are found.

• Add "Fold content" option
• Add "Display content in search" option
• Rearrange Settings
• Update "What's New" dialog's button when DB upgrade is in progress
• Use large bullet for folded notes with children

Re: [O] M-x cfw:open-org-calendar not working - Solved

Can't remember where I got this from. But this config got Calfw and

[O] M-x cfw:open-org-calendar not working

2016-04-26 Thread Paul Harper

I am following this article "Taming Google Calendar With Org-Mode" to
try to get sync going with my Google
Calendar. http://jameswilliams.be/blog/2016/01/11/Taming-Your-GCal.html

I've installed Calfw and Org-Gcal with  the package manager. But when I
M-x cfw:open-org-calendar it does not find the command. Mx cf  only
finds cfengine.

What is the best way for me to troubleshoot this? My setup is identical
to the article except for:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/username/.emacs.d/elpa/calfw-20160302.1858")
(require 'calfw)
(require 'calfw-org)

Re: [O] Converting a Dissertation Template from docx to .org to use for LaTeX

2015-05-05 Thread Paul Harper
Thanks for those replies. I basically followed Ken's suggestion. I started
with the Kings College London dissertation template and used writer2latex
to create a .tex file. Then I gradually built the the Org-File.

 I have ended up with something I can use to write using org-mode with a
nice Solarized-Dark theme instead of frying my eyeballs in LibreOffice. The
key things are the Table of Contents are in the correct place and I have
bibtex working the way I want.

The other thing is in the end I have to convert from the .tex file to a
.docx file using pandoc. So I'll have to do some minor edits in LibreOffice
anyway because it is not saving certain formating features like double
spacing. But that will be a two minute final editing job.

So now I just have to write 500 words a day for the next 30 days and I'll
have a first draft! ;)

Regards,

Paul

 Hi Paul,

 For this type of one-off project (a thesis), I'd suggest you a) remove all
 Org-generated LaTeX header, b) create your own LaTeX preamble that you
 \include{preamble} in your Org file, and then all of your questions become
 LaTeX questions, not Org questions.

 Those LaTeX questions are likely easily googlable (or bingable) and found
 on TeX.SE. At the top of your Org document you can embed all the LaTeX code
 you want to generate the custom title and signature pages required by your
 institution.

 Just my 2c.

[O] Exporting citations come out as citep instead of APA + bibliography not printing

2014-07-23 Thread Paul Harper
I am using Emacs http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ 24.4.50.1 (Org
http://orgmode.org mode 8.2.7b) I am not getting the bibliography or
references I need. I have a references.bib file on Dropbox at
/home/felixdz/Dropbox/bibliography/references.bib.

I am using Eric Schulte's Starter Kit for Emacs 24 along with Vikas Rawal's
research-toolkit.org.
https://github.com/vikasrawal/orgpaper/blob/master/orgpapers.org

The only other customization I have done is add the solarized-dark theme.

I am using this simple template from Ivan Hanigan with the R code stuff
edited out.
http://ivanhanigan.github.io/2013/11/a-sharp-looking-orgmode-latex-export-header/

The headers, text and general layout are printing well. However instead of
getting the nice .pdf's, .odt's or html like Mr Hanigan I get the following
output:

-
Sharp Report Template
Table of Contents

   - 1. Introduction #sec-1
   - 2. Section 1 #sec-2
   - 3. References #sec-3

1 Introduction

This is a test document.1 #fn.1

The pages after the first page have a nice looking header, footer and page
number. \clearpage
2 Section 1

Some more stuff.2 #fn.2
3 References

\bibliographystyle{apalike}
\bibliography{/home/felixdz/Dropbox/bibliography}
Footnotes:
1 #fnr.1

\citep{singer2014cybersecurity}
2 #fnr.2

\citep{schneier2011secrets}

How do I get my references and bibliography to print correctly?

[O] Warning (initialization): Your `load-path' seems to contain your `.emacs.d' directory

2013-12-18 Thread Paul Harper
I am an emacs and org-mode newbie. I am mainly coming to Emacs for
Org-Mode. So am using Eric Schulte's Emacs Starter Kit 24. I put this in
.emacs.d. It is suggested in the kit Move the resulting directory to
~/.emacs.d  http://eschulte.github.io/emacs24-starter-kit/#fn.1

http://eschulte.github.io/emacs24-starter-kit/

When I start Emacs I get the following error.

Warning (initialization): Your `load-path' seems to contain
your `.emacs.d' directory: /home/username/.emacs.d/
This is likely to cause problems...
Consider using a subdirectory instead, e.g.: /home/username/.emacs.d/lisp

I am uncertain how I should proceed now. I suspect this will be a common
problem for new people. How should I setup the Emacs Starter Kit? Move the
whole kit to /home/username/.emacs.d/lisp ? Put the init.el in .emacs.d?

Regards,

Paul Harper

2013-12-18 Thread Paul Harper
Thanks. I had seen that thread but it is still unclear to me what that
means.

I just found this which has some discussion from Eric Schulte himself.

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-04/msg01777.html

I'll have to go and read this. If I get a solution I'll make sure I post it.

 On a related note, this warning occurs with Emacs from bzr trunk.  The
