Re: [O] org-capture-template: How to correctly capture email addresses?
Hi,
If org-contacts-template-email doesn't find an address, it doesn't
insert a simple text prompt, it inserts a property prompt, which sets
the property. A property prompt does not need to be positioned in an
explicit property drawer in the template -- in fact, it looks like
that will not work.
Removing the EMAIL property and moving the
%(org-contacts-template-email) field out of the property drawer works:
(setq org-capture-templates
'((t TODO in ~/org/agenda.org - Tasks entry (file+headline
~/org/agenda.org Tasks)
* TODO %?\nSCHEDULED: %^t\n%U %a)
(c Contact in ~/org/contacts.org - Contact entry
(file+headline ~/org/contacts.org Contact)
* %?%(org-contacts-template-name) %^g
%(org-contacts-template-email)
:PROPERTIES:
:URL:
:WORK:
:HOME:
:MOBILE:
:LOCATION:
:BIRTHDAY:
:NOTE:
:END:)))
You still get EMAIL at the end of the property drawer, but the order
is arbitrary anyway. You could replace the whole properties drawer
with property prompts:
(setq org-capture-templates
'((t TODO in ~/org/agenda.org - Tasks entry (file+headline
~/org/agenda.org Tasks)
* TODO %?\nSCHEDULED: %^t\n%U %a)
(c Contact in ~/org/contacts.org - Contact entry
(file+headline ~/org/contacts.org Contact)
* %?%(org-contacts-template-name) %^g
%(org-contacts-template-email)
%^{URL}p %^{WORK}p %^{HOME}p %^{MOBILE}p
%^{LOCATION}p %^{BIRTHDAY}p %^{NOTE}p)))
...but then you'd be prompted for everything, each time; you may not
want that.
Yours,
Christian
