[O] zip for odt export under windows
Hi guys, I need to use the odt exporter on a windows box, and i read in an archived post that I need to install infozip. Infozip seems to be unavailable. How have others configured for export? thanks! -- signature to baby: "doobywoobybooboo" :-)

[O] begging table formula help
Hi Guys, I might actually have a working, almost sane system that I can understand and work with. May I beg some help? | Student | Assgn Points | Points Earned | Possible | Achieved | Percentage | |-+--+---+--+--+| | Barney | 40 |34.8 | 16 | 14 |87 | | Betty | 40 | | | || | Fred| 40 | | | || | Wilma | 40 | | | || It might be obvious but, say, quizzes are worth 40 points. There are 16 questions on the quiz and Barney got 14 right. If I'm really nice, would somebody concoct a table formula for me? Rounding would be great. I fully expect to wrestle with formulas on my own at some point, but it took me an inordinate amount of time to come up with the table in the first place, so consequently I'm kind of pressed. Have I mentioned how handsome/beautiful you look today? -- signature angry: "gr" :-)

Reports would be great, aggregated grades not so much (at least not for the moment). A couple questions: are the buffer settings (#+ASSIGNMENT, #+POINTS, #+DUEDATE, #+RUBRIC) of your own creation? This is just the kind of thing I'm looking for, but on a much less ambitious scale. This student took this test and earned this score on this day. But is this student in this subject or that subject? Which period? I was thinking about making a file per student, puting the particulars in a properties drawer, and linking to an assignments file. Pretty standard stuff, I think, but I'm working out how to make it all happen. * Fred Flinstone :PROPERTIES: :Class: Into to Cave Painting :Period: 2 :Whatever: Blah blah blah :END: ** Homework [ / ] *** TODO [[path to assignment or description][This]] *** TODO [[path to assignment or description][That]] ** Classwork ** Assessment ** Concerns I'm sorry I'm not being more clear--I'm feeling like an idiot at the moment. I think I'll start with a file for each student like Fred's and go from there.
[O] students, classes, assignments...
Hey guys, What's an efficient way to keep track of students, classes, and assignments? I'm using org now, but I don't want to admit how badly I'm abusing it to make my *cough* system work. How about something like this: a file per student with Classwork, Homework, and Assessment headings, maybe checkboxes to indicate completion; A date-tree in a file with the Homework and due dates--something along those lines. Any ideas would be appreciated. I know a bunch of you are teachers... -- signature drinking: "glugluglug" :-)

[O] todo autochange to done
Hey guys, In the manual, section 5.5, there is a function shown that would allow a "TODO entry to automatically change to DONE when all children are done". Here it is: ;> (defun org-summary-todo (n-done n-not-done) "Switch entry to DONE when all subentries are done, to TODO otherwise." (let (org-log-done org-log-states) ; turn off logging (org-todo (if (= n-not-done 0) "finished" ":-)" (add-hook ’org-after-todo-statistics-hook ’org-summary-todo) ;< I get this: Symbol's value as variable is void: ’org-after-todo-statistics-hook What's going on? thanks! -- signature to baby: "doobywoobybooboo" :-)

I meant I could have them, if needed, but wouldn't see them while looking at the agenda. I'm going to follow your advice except I'll probaby name TODO and DONE something different, just to be different. Thanks very much for your help. :-) --

I think you may be on to something. I use org every day, but I've been using it for longer than I'd like to admit in underpowered and goofy ways. I get inspired by power-user setups, go for it, get swamped by complexity, throw up my hands. I'm trying something new here by going as dead-simple as I can. I can always add stuff as the need arises. I need to keep things reaaly easy while still doing things "the org way." I'll try to use an active timestamp and just try to remain calm. Oh, and while all the property drawers and options lines and everything are really cool and useful, all the junk that can fill up a buffer can sure get ugly and distracting. So I can avoid looking at all that? Thanks. --

[O] couple questions about simple todo
Hi guys, Pardon the baby-level questions. With a file that looks like this: #+startup: align nologdone showall #+todo: next doing finished * All to Do ** [2015-08-11 Tue] [1/1] *** finished iron the cat How can I enter the date stamp so that it is neither active nor inactive? I don't want a link to the agenda, and I'd like it to look like a heading. also, what's the difference between "doing finished" and "doing | finished" the pipe character doesn't seem to affect anything. Thanks. -- signature in pain: "ouch!" :-)
[O] a quick tag question
Hi guys, if I have a buffer with the option #+tags: atag and then tag a headline with that tag, shouldn't I see the headline when I call (org-tags-view) ? I don't. I'm sure I'm missing something simple... -- signature on the edge: "wheee!" :-)
[O] speedbar tweaks or alternatives?
Hi guys, I recently discovered that the speedbar can be used to navigate headings in my org files. It doesn't seem to work very well. The speedbar won't refresh, and it won't show more than two heading levels. Can anyone suggest customizations to make it work, or alternatives that do the same thing? thanks. -- signature mischievous: "heh, heh, heh" :-)
[O] freeplane exporter too?

[O] conceptual TODO help?
Hi guys, I have a few questions about todo states. I have these keywords defined: #+TODO: Do Doing DoBy DoLater | Did DidNot DidNever #+TAGS: @Beverly(y) @Bionca(a) I'd like to have a better understanding of the TODO sequence for any given task, assignment, or project. The states Do and Did are pretty obviously just TODO and DONE renamed. I can maybe add a DEADLINE:<2012-07-28 Sat> for the DoBy heading, and a SCHEDULED:<2012-07-28 Sat> for DoLater, but what can or should I do with Doing? Should I just leave it alone and look at it? I think I've seen TODO keywords defined (in the manual? list emails?) like "feedback", etc, but it seems like if I have a basic but comprehensive sequence I can put that kind of stuff in tags (Incidentally, what are the @ signs in front of tags for?). Are there any keywords I should add or remove? Should I get rid of DidNot and DidNever (implying not yet and never will)? My keywords are arbitrary and silly, but I'd like to better understand the states they label. Thanks, I hope I was clear, and sorry for the "basic question" noise.
[O] Stupid questions. this time: org-protocol
Hey guys, Maybe there can be a subject-line label just for me: [O:sq] because I have a million of them. I really don't want to clutter up the list, though. I haven't used org-protocol yet. I've been staying away from it because it uses emacsclient, and my experience has caused me to dislike emacsclient. Will org-protocol work "out of the box" with gnuclient? Thanks, sorry for the noise.
[O] plain text best practice?
howdy guys, I want to use org-mode for writing documents that don't necessarily have very many headings or sub-headings. I could do: * Chapter One lots of text * Chapter Two lots more text or: * Chapter One - lots of text * Chapter Two - lots more text or: * Chapter One ** paragraph 1 lots of text ** paragraph 2 lots of text * Chapter Two ...but I'm not sure which to use. It almost seems like the last format is the best, but I don't want to type paragraph headings. Maybe the first few words of the paragraph could be a heading after the fact, but not as I write. Apologies for such a basic question, but I how can I leverage org-mode to just write? What do you do? thanks
[Orgmode] questions about links
(resent, sorry) Hi guys, Ok, if I make "foo" a link: blah blah [[foo]] blah it will pop over to "foo" elsewhere in the buffer. (This is a tangent, but I see carets in the documentation, like "" , but they don't seem to be needed-- the link finds "foo" just fine) Can I make [[foo]] link to all the foos in the buffer, maybe via a list with a bit of context from which to choose? also, once I'm at the target, how can I return easily to the anchor and refold whatever section the target was in?
