Is it possible to embed youtube video in wordpress post created with org2blog

[Steinar Bang]

I use org2blog to create posts for https://steinar.bang.priv.no

Right now I'm working on a blog post where I would like to embed a
youtuble video, but I can't figure out how.

Is it possible?

I tried the obvious approach, which is the same way I embed images, i.e.
 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcihVdB7oU8]]

But that only showed the URL in the blog post

(Note: the blog post isn't posted yet, it's just a draft, so this could
be a difference in the preview)

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip, Christian!

The "#+html_head_extra" example didn't work, because the SOAP and/or
wordpress HTML parser, strips off everything it doesn't like.

But I have wordpress premium, so I have the possibiliy of adding CSS: 
https://wp.me/PEmnE-Bt

I tried adding:
 .org-src-container .src {
overflow: auto;
white-space: nowrap;
 }

and that gave me a scrollbar, but unfortunately everything is put on a
single line.

Removing "white-space: nowrap" gives me the line feeds back, but also
loses the horisontal scroll bar.

According to what google tells me
overflow: auto;
should be enough to get scrollbars...?

The pre element has
white-space: pre-wrap;
word-wrap: break-word;
are those the problem?

Hm... https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_text_white-space.asp ?

Tried:
 .org-src-container .src {
overflow: auto;
white-space: pre;
 }

Yep! That worked!

Needed to get the same formatting on command line examples as well, so I
ended up with: 
 .org-src-container .src, .example {
overflow: auto;
white-space: pre;
 }

Thanks again!

org2blog: get horizontal scrollbar on code examples?

[Steinar Bang]

Does anyone know of a way to get horizontal scrollbars on code examples,
instead of line breaks?

I try to make code examples as horizontally compact, but sometimes
that's not enough, see e.g. some maven  elements here, and
the maven command line examples:

The two lines of ox-html.el that produce "Listing 1", are:
 https://github.com/bzg/org-mode/blob/master/lisp/ox-html.el#L2401
and
 https://github.com/bzg/org-mode/blob/master/lisp/ox-html.el#L3487

I think the second one can be made empty by giving the code example an
empty caption (and this is probably also the one hidden by the CSS?)

But I have one case where neither the CSS suppression or an empty
caption works.  It still shows the useless and meaningless "Listing 1".

Very annoying.

I haven't been able to remove them from the export, which would have
been my preferred solution, but I have been able to make them not show.

I googled for 'org export "listing 1"' and found a mention of the CSS
class listing-number, so I googled for 'org export "listing-number"' and
found:
 
https://github.com/emacs-china/org-mode/blob/master/etc/ORG-NEWS#listings-with-captions-are-now-numbered-in-html-export

So from https://mysite.wordpress.com/wp-admin/ I clicked on
 Appearance->Customize
and then clicked on
 CSS

Then I pasted the following into the text field
 .listing-number { display: none; }
and clicked on the "Publish" button.

And then the "Listing 1" titles were gone (or at least: not shown) in
the blogposts.

Is there a way to lose the "Listing 1" text completely? 

Or failing that: is there a way to increment the number so that they
aren't all "1"?

And then "Save post draft" saved the article.

[O] Issue with workaround (referring to sonarqube badges in github README.org)

[Steinar Bang]

I use org-mode syntax for my github README file, because I'm more
familiar with it, and because I use org-mode.

I ran into a problem when trying to use SonarQube status badges from
SonarCloud: the badge images didn't show up, instead the URL to the REST
API call generating the badge was shown[1].

According to a comment response on the issue[2], this is caused by
org-mode, because org-mode only creates image links for URLs containing
a file extension matching a supported image type.

Luckily the same message suggested a workaround: add the
pseudo-page-internal-link "#.svg" to the image URLs.

The results can be viewed on[3].

[O] Bug: Adding a simple list item expands the entire simple list [8.3.4 (8.3.4-79-gbd4948-elpa @ c:/Users/sb/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20160606/)]

[Steinar Bang]

What I did do:
I pressed M-RET to insert a new item in an org simple list, with the
other items, some containing sub lists with items, closed.

What I expected to happen:
I expected the items that were closed to stay closed, and a new item to
be inserted.

What happened instead:
When the item was inserted, the entire simple list tree was expanded.

To explain what I mean by "expanded":

If I have
 ** Item1
  - First item of simple list
- Child of first item of simple list
  - Second item of simple list
- Child of second item
  - Child of child of second item
 ** Item2

and have most of the nodes closed, like this:
 ** Item1
  - First item of simple list...
  - Second item of simple list...
 ** Item2

and then insert a new item into the simple list, the entire tree will

open (like the first example).

 CM m...@christianmoe.com:

 I cannot reproduce either problem, though I seem to remember some
 difficulty with changing date fields in the past. What Org version are
 you using?

Um... a heap of different versions it looks like, on the systems I use
regularily, some from ELPA (one of the ELPA archives), some from org
git, and the version delivered with emacs 24.3.

Right now I'm on a debian box using git org, and I've done
 make clean
 git pull
 make
and started a fresh emacs.

And here I see a different behaviour

 You can turn the use of date fields in LibreOffice on or off with
 org-odt-use-date-fields. With date fields set to t:

Hm... 'C-h v org-odt-use-date-fields RET' says:
 org-odt-use-date-fields is a variable defined in `ox-odt.el'.
 Its value is nil

 - Setting :EXPORT_DATE: in the subtree and exporting the subtree results
   in an ODT export with that date in the header, not today's date.

 - Inspecting the date field shows that the date is fixed. (In
   LibreOffice, right-click the date and select Fields from the popup
   menu.)

 - Indeed, the date remains unchanged when I do Update all or export
   to PDF from LibreOffice does indeed keep the same date.

Hm... I may play around with these settings, but for now I'm happy with
the default behaviour (no date stamp).

I'll go to git org on all of my emacsen.

Thanks!

 Christian Moe m...@christianmoe.com:

 Does setting the subtree's :EXPORT_DATE: property to the date of the

Nope.  Still outputs the date of the export.

And since writing the posting I've discovered another annoying property
of the date: it will switch to the current date at any time of saving of
the odt document (eg. when doing a Save as PDF).

So I think what I want is to zap that date stamp alltogether, to save me
from having to delete it in the odt file before creating a PDF from it.

The wikipedia article mentions something called iSSH, which is said to
have a mosh protocol plugin:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosh_(software)#Supported_platforms

A short summary of mosh behaviour:
 - An SSH connection is used to connect and authenticate the user
 - After the initial SSH connection mosh switches to an UDP protocol
   that tries to keep the local terminal emulator in sync with a
   terminal emulator process running on the host, automatically handling
   disconnects, suspend, new IP numbers, etc.

When I had a working linux netbook I used mosh to connect to a couple of
servers, and it worked perfectly from hotel WiFi all over Europe, and my

 `C-c a' should be followed by the key for the agenda view you want to

Yes, I know.

 `v w' does its job when an agenda view is already displayed.

Yes, that's where and when it complains about invalid key v, when I
press v.

[O] Weekly clock reports for the previous or current week, with a per-dayproject breakdown?

[Steinar Bang]

Is it possible to get a clock report for the previous week (and the
current week), with a breakdown of project and day? (this is how I need
it to fill out my time sheets)

Using Bernt Hansens instructions[1], I have been able to get the hours
for the current month: C-c a  a v m b R (in the clock table at the
bottom) 

And by experimentation I have found that this does the same thing for
the current week: C-c a  a b R

The command here http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#VerifyingClockData
ie.: C-c a v m b v c
sounds from the description like it could do what I want.

However, I get only the days and their date, and the week number.  I
don't see any clocks for the different days...?

Thanks!

Re: [O] [OT] Gnus mail tutorial?

[Steinar Bang]

 Richard Lawrence richard.lawre...@berkeley.edu:

 I used Gnus with an IMAP account for a while, but found that (in
 addition to being intimidating and complicated) it was annoyingly slow.

FWIW nnimap was rewritten a couple of years back, and on an IMAP server
that supports QRESYNC (eg. dovecot), it is quite fast these days.

I also think, but I don't know for sure, that if you start up gnus
without any config, it will ask for a server.

And if you give nnimap as the method, and if you give the DNS name of
the server running the IMAP server, and if that server is running on
port 143, then things should more or less work.  All of the folders on
the IMAP server will appear as nnimap groups.

But I could be wrong...:-)

 On the one hand, I do not have any Gnus experience

It doesn't have to be Gnus.  Any NNTP client will work with feeds on
gwene.  On the PC you could eg. use Thunderbird.

 and from the things I already read about Gnus configuration, I want to
 keep it that way.

There is a big difference in what you _can_ do, and what you have to do.

If you just want to read news with NNTP you basically only have to point
it to at least one NNTP server (eg. gwene).

 On the other hand, Gnus does not offer something to sync with for the
 Android platform AFAIK.

If you want a gwene reader for the android platform you will have to
find an NNTP client for android.  I don't know if there is one... well

 Unless it's been broken recently it should, but you probably need to
 customize org-log-into-drawer to t (for LOGBOOK) or set the property
 LOG_INTO_DRAWER if you want to keep this setting different in
 different subtrees.

I examined org-log-drawer with
 C-h v org-log-drawer RET
and it had the value of `nil'.

I customized by selecting LOGBOOK (ie. `t') from the value menu, and now
notes end up in the :LOGBOOK: drawer in the same nodes where clocking

Looking at the code of org-list-swap-items it doesn't look like this is

 This looks really great!  

 Maybe the most simple thing to do for now is to submit org-blog.el as
 a separate file to the mailing list, and add FIXME comments in
 functions that borrow too much code from org-publish.el -- it will
 help refactoring.

Did anything more happen with this?  There is no org-blog.el in

 This is totally home brew stuff.  

Well, thank you for sharing this home brew stuff.
I've been trying to use the other org based blog solutions, but they
have all failed for some reason or other, and they have also seemed
abandoned. 

 Sorry for the trouble you are having, in getting it to run.

No worries! :-)

 Try commenting out the lines 257, 258 in reprise.py and see if that
 works for you.  I'll take a look later, and try to see if this can be
 improved.

Yep, commenting out the tag cloud generation made the reprise.py script
run witout failing.

Thanks!

 I've added a short README that tries to include the things that you
 are looking for.  But, it's something I wrote up quickly.  Feel free
 to ask any specific questions.

I've been trying to use it, but I keep running into issues with
reprise.pay.

The latest one, is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File reprise.py, line 258, in module
env.get_template('cloud.html'))
  File reprise.py, line 140, in generate_tag_cloud
maxFreq = max(t['freq'] for t in tag_freq)
ValueError: max() arg is an empty sequence

The code for this, is:

def generate_tag_cloud(entries, template):
tags = sum([e['tags'] for e in entries], [])
tag_freq = [{'tag': tag, 'freq': tags.count(tag)} for tag in set(tags)
if tags.count(tag)  3]
maxFreq = max(t['freq'] for t in tag_freq)
...

I've debugged this with pdb (`M-x pdb'), and tag_freq is empty.

If I'm interpreting the python code correctly (I don't know python...)
only those tags that have more than 3 occurrences will be in the
tag_freq collection...?

My problem is that I have only one article, my first, so obviously the
tag_freq collection will stay emtpy, and reprise.py will crash...

I tried removing the test, ie.

def generate_tag_cloud(entries, template):
tags = sum([e['tags'] for e in entries], [])
tag_freq = [{'tag': tag, 'freq': tags.count(tag)} for tag in set(tags)]
maxFreq = max(t['freq'] for t in tag_freq)
...

but that just gave me a different error (division by zero):

  File reprise.py, line 257, in module
env.get_template('cloud.html'))
  File reprise.py, line 147, in generate_tag_cloud
'freq': t['freq']} for t in tag_freq]
  File reprise.py, line 144, in normalize
return min_r + (val - min_f) * (max_r - min_r) / float (max_f - min_f)

Any ideas of how to proceed?

Thanks!

Re: [O] Is it possible for checkbox items to have :LOGBOOK: drawers?

 Hello,
 Steinar Bang s...@dod.no writes:

 No, lists ignore contents of drawers within them. Moreover :LOGBOOK:
 drawers are an headline only feature.

 David Maus dm...@ictsoc.de:

 No, as far as I know it is not possible to attach a Drawer to a list
 item.

Bummer!  But thanks for the replies.

Is there another way to accomplish what I want: getting time stamped log
entries under a list item?

Ie. it doesn't have to be in a drawer, and entries don't have to be
created with `C-c C-z'.  But should be easy to use.

Or... I could go back to nested TODOs I guess...?  But checkboxes are so
much more visually pleasing...

[O] Is it possible for checkbox items to have :LOGBOOK: drawers?

[Steinar Bang]

Platform: Ubuntu 10.10
  GNU Emacs 23.1.1
  git version of org-mode

When I create a TODO task, I first create the task, then I create
checkboxes for the things I would like to do, ie.

* My tasks
** TODO here's a new task [/]
 - [ ] First I need to do this
 - [ ] Then I need to do that
 - [ ] Finally I need to finish this

The reason for using checkboxes, is that I find them more visually
pleasing than nested TODOs.  But when logging progress, I can't use the
logbook functionality (like I could have done with nested TODOs).  I
have ended up doing this:

* My tasks
** TODO here's a new task [/]
 - [ ] First I need to do this
  - Logbook:
- My first note
- My second note
 - [ ] Then I need to do that
 - [ ] Finally I need to finish this

That works, after a fashion.  But I get no timestamp on the notes,
unless I remember to do a `C-.'

I've tried putting :LOGBOOK: drawers in the checkboxes, and that seemed
to work at first, but then I discovered that all notes ended up in the
topmost checkbox, which just happened to reside under the first
checkbox.

Is there some variable that I can set to make :LOGBOOK: drawers work
under checkboxes?  Is there some other similar solution?  (I'm on git
org-mode at home, and use native emacs 23 org-mode and 7.7 on the
windows boxes at work)

Thanks!

[O] CLOCKS drawer not behaving like a drawer on Windows emacs 23.2 (Was: Collapsing tracked time?)

[Steinar Bang]

 Olaf Dietsche olaf+list.orgm...@olafdietsche.de:

 You can also set org-clock-into-drawer to a string (e.g. CLOCKS),
 then this string is used instead of LOGBOOK.

 Actually I tried doing it, but since the variable wasn't available, I
 thought I needed a newer version of org-mode, than the one that comes
 with emacs 23.

 But it turns out that I just needed to load-library `org-clock' before
 I could customize the variable, and then set to to CLOCKS (without
 the quotes).

And when clocking in on an item, a :CLOCKS: drawer is created under
that item.

However the CLOCKS drawer doesn't behave like a real drawer on emacs
23.2 on Windows:
 - The :CLOCKS:... string is plain black, and not the purple of the
   :LOGBOOK: drawer (and presumably other drawers)
 - Pressing `TAB' doesn't open and close the drawer
 - Closing and reopening the item, shows the contents of the drawer, but
   the drawer can't be collapsed with `TAB'

I tried installing org-mode 7.7 on the machine, but the CLOCKS
behaviour was the same there.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks!

Re: [O] CLOCKS drawer not behaving like a drawer on Windows emacs 23.2

[Steinar Bang]

 Olaf Dietsche olaf+list.orgm...@olafdietsche.de:

 Unfortunately, back then I suggested the name CLOCKS. But the default
 clocks drawer name is CLOCK without the S.

Ah, ok! :-)

 So, you can either use CLOCK instead of CLOCKS

 (custom-set-variables
  '(org-clock-into-drawer CLOCK))

 or as Bernt and Achim already suggested, you can

 (add-to-list 'org-drawers CLOCKS)

I think I'll go for the simple solution and use CLOCK.

I just want something other than LOGBOOK, since I use LOGBOOK to take
notes.

Thanks (to all).

 That particular asymmetry has been removed in a later version, so if
 you update org-mode it should work as described in the online manual.

Yes, I guessed that might be the case.  But for now I think I will go
with the native emacs org-mode, to keep things simple on new computers.

 You can set any of those variables (but not the properties) to an
 integer number and the drawer will be created when you add more
 timestamps than that.

Yes, I saw that, when customizing the variable.  I even tried it a
little, before deciding to go for always on.

For one particular long running TODO, I have to scroll over several

payload. 

Is it possible to let the time stamps be collapsed/hidden by default,

Re: [O] Using MobileOrg without sync?

[Steinar Bang]

 Tassilo Horn tass...@member.fsf.org:

 Not sure, but MobileOrg (at least on Android) is not very
 sophisticated for note taking.  For sure, it's not a stand-alone
 org-mode for Android as you might have expected.

Ah, ok.  It looked like it might be, from the screen shots.

 For example, there's no widget (activity in andro-speak) to input
 timestamps and stuff like that.  I use it, but mainly for viewing my
 agendas pushed from org-mode and for capturing quick and ugly notes,
 which I format correctly, timestamp, tag, and refile after pulling
 them to my emacs.

Ok.  Looks like something I will try at some point in time, but not
right now.

 So I see no reason to use MobileOrg if you don't want to interact with
 org-mode.  Probably, you'd be better off with a plain text editor (Jota
 Text Editor is quite good and free software).

Thanks for the tip!

So far, I have installed, but not yet tried:

[O] Using MobileOrg without sync?

[Steinar Bang]

I installed MobileOrg on an HTC desire.  The idea was to just use it to
take notes, no sync to an emacs with org-mode would be needed.

But I can't figure out how to skip the sync configuration menu.

All of the documentation I find when searching, is about syncing with
org-mode. 

Isn't it possible to use MobileOrg without sync?

Thanks!

Re: [O] apparently too stupid to use checkboxes

 Hi,
 while looking for the cause of my checkbox problem I found,
 that all works fine, if I issue

 make clean 

Ok, I ran into this problem today, on an emacs 23 with git org-mode, on
debian testing, (wheezy), and I googled for the error message and
found this thread.

What I did was
 cd ~/git/org-mode/
 make clean
 make

and then the problem went away: I started a new emacs and edited an org
file with cookie'd checkboxes, and now the cookies updated.

My org-mode git clone was last pull'd on May 5, and
.git/refs/heads/master contains 37f9639a4391fd63caae7abf2b4ac8e247b740c3

If someone feels like looking into this rather obscure error, I'm
willing to assist.  If not, I will just pull and hope it goes away...:-)

[Orgmode] Emacs 21 doesn't pick utf-8 as the coding system

[Steinar Bang]

I'm trying to work on a file created on emacs 22 on Debian lenny, on
emacs 21 on RHEL4.  The org file in emacs 21 shows up with UTF-8
interpreted as iso-8859-1.

I've tried setting the coding explicitly with
 `C-x RET f utf-8-unix RET'
but that didn't seem to make any difference.

Are there lisp and mode-specific ways of fixing this? I'd rather not
mess with the locale settings...

Here are the locale settings:

On RHEL4:

Just added that to the Makefile (can't get a diff the easy way because

[Orgmode] How to get the last version of org-mode supporting emacs21?

[Steinar Bang]

I have some RHEL4 machines where I have no admin privileges where I
would like to use org-mode, without having to build a newer version of
emacs myself and install it under my own user.

Is it possible to figure out how to use git to get to the last version
prior to removing the emacs 21 compatibility code?

Is it possible to take the compatibility code removal changes and apply
them to the most recent version of the code?  (I think not, but I don't
know just how much such magic git is capable of...)

Or is it better to just get the last released version that has the emacs
21 compatiblity code, than to use git? (since I can't upgrade to newer
versions anyway...)

Thanx!
