[O] org-capture, datetree, and tags
I'm trying to capture into a datetree using org-capture, but if my tree has a
tag on it (in particular noexport), then it creates a new datetree instead of
using the one I have.
Example .emacs:
(global-set-key "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("t" "Test" plain (file+datetree "~/Test.org")
"%^{Greeting} World
I'm going to work this time")))
Example Test.org:
* 2013 :noexport:
** 2013-02 February
*** 2013-02-19 Tuesday
Hello World
I'm going to work this time
So, based on the above, if I type C-cct Silly C-cc, I'll get this:
* 2013 :noexport:
** 2013-02 February
*** 2013-02-19 Tuesday
Hello World
I'm going to work this time
* 2013
** 2013-02 February
*** 2013-02-19 Tuesday
Silly World
I'm going to work this time
Thanks for your attention,

I can confirm both the behavior and a usecase for a tagged datetree.
In org-datetree.el the function org-datetree-find-year-create searches for
the year on a headline and will not match content with anything beyond the
fourth digit.
: (defun org-datetree-find-year-create (year)
: (let ((re "^\\*+[ \t]+\\([12][0-9][0-9][0-9]\\)$")
: match)
In this particular case the tag in question is :noexport: with white space
fore (and maybe aft), and the following change to the regular expression
was tested with success.
: (defun org-datetree-find-year-create (year)
: (let ((re "^\\*+[ \t]+\\([12][0-9][0-9][0-9]\\)[ \t]+:noexport:[ \t]*$")
: match)
Of course this only matches the specific tag in this example *and* only
matches a datetree with this tag. The regular expression needs to be
improved to include a valid tag set as optional.

I have verified that this still occurs under latest (7.9.3e-920-gce79e pulled
5:50am EST) with emacs 24.1.1 (Ubuntu packaged). Are my expectations wrong
that it should be inserting into the original tree, and there is perhaps
another way to tag a heirarchy to not be exported that I should be using? If
this is a bug, is there additional information I need to supply to assist in
the debugging? Am I asking in the right place?
Thanks for your attention,

Improved the regular expression to permit multiple tags of letters,
numbers, underscores, and at signs.
: (defun org-datetree-find-year-create (year)
:(let ((re "^\\*+[ \t]+\\([12][0-9][0-9][0-9]\\)[
\t]*\\(:[[:alnum:]_@]*\\)*:*[ \t]*$")
: match)
I've tested with the following headlines:
- 2013
- both with and without trailing spaces
- 2013 :abc:
- 2013 :abc123:
- 2013 :abc123:_underscore:@attaboy::
- 2013 :noexport:
Any comments on the regular expression are welcome before I make patch.

Thanks for working on fixing this. The more or less standard regexp for tags-till-end-of-line is this: :[[:alnum:]_@#%:]*[ \t]*$ ^ With * if you want to match headlines with no tag.

I may have misapplied what you suggested, but the new regexp (see below) does not work on a year headline without tags. : (defun org-datetree-find-year-create (year) :(let ((re "^\\*+[ \t]+\\([12][0-9][0-9][0-9]\\)[ \t]*\\(:[[:alnum:]_@#%:]*[ \t]*$\\)") : match) However, the suggestion helped me find the following in org-todo-line-tags-regexp \\(.*?\\([ \t]:[[:alnum:]:_@#%]+:[ \t]*\\)?$\\) Applying this regexp worked on a tag-free headline (both with and without trailing spaces) : (defun org-datetree-find-year-create (year) :(let ((re "^\\*+[ \t]+\\([12][0-9][0-9][0-9]\\)\\(.*?\\([ \t]:[[:alnum:]:_@#%]+:[ \t]*\\)?$\\)") : match) > > Please have a look at this page before submitting a patch: > http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#sec-5 Will do. > > Thanks! -- Tim Burt www.rketburt.org "It is healthful to every sane man to utter the art within him;" -- GK Chesterton
