The same thing: an empty outline.

To be exact, I ran "emacs -q" and the executed the following commands
before loading the org-file, in order to use the newest version of org:

(setq load-path (cons "/home/jarmo/addons/emacs-packages/org/lisp" load-path))
(require 'org)
(require 'ox-beamer)

Maybe this is related to TeX version? Mine is

TeX 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2013)

Ok.

I will read through the thread, but at the moment I don't understand why
the Beamer export behaves differently than the regular LaTeX export.

So: at my side, it appears from time to time and I still do not have

Re: [O] Custom forwarding for a scheduled task

[Fletcher Charest]

Dear all,

In case someone would be interested, I came up with an ugly hack, nor
robust or elegant, but it works... It iterates over all headings, check if
the current heading has a property "reschedule" and a "TODO" state, and if
the number of days passed in the current year for today is greater than the
number of days passed in the current year when the task was scheduled
(quite clumsy, but I couldn't find another way to do it...). If these
conditions are met, the task get cancelled.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (defun fc/org-forward-task-if-not-done ()
(interactive)
(save-excursion
  (goto-char (point-max))
  (while (outline-previous-heading)
(when (and (org-entry-get (point) "reschedule")
   (equal "TODO" (cdar (org-entry-properties)))
   (> (string-to-number (format-time-string "%j"))
(string-to-number (format-time-string "%j" (org-get-scheduled-time
(point))
  (org-todo "CANCELLED")

  (global-set-key (kbd "s-f") 'fc/org-forward-task-if-not-done)
#+END_SRC

When used on a task like this...

* TODO test
  :PROPERTIES:
  :reschedule: yes
  :LOGGING: CANCELLED(!)
  :END:
  SCHEDULED: <2013-10-24 jeu. ++1w>

...when I press , the task is automatically scheduled to the next
thursday (from today) if it was not done starting from 2013-10-25.

Best regards,

FC

Re: [O] Babel issue after upgrade to Org 8?

[Rasmus Karlsson]

Hi Eric!
Thanks for the help. Your command was quite useful. It turns out that on 
emacs23,

you get
defined? nil
However, on emacs24 you get
defined? t
So it seems I just need to use the newest emacs version!

Thanks!

[O] org-slidy in org 8.x?

[Jay Dixit]

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to use Dov Grobgeld's org-slidy (https://github.com/dov/org-slidy)
to create HTML-based slideshows using org-mode, but it doesn't seem to be
working. I'm not sure, but I suspect this is because the syntax for org's
HTML export may have changed?

Here are the options used by org-slidy.
https://gist.github.com/7129945

I tried to fix it by taking out the "-export" from the commands, but it
didn't work. Does anyone know the new correct syntax for these options?

I'm having similar issues trying to use Takumi Kinjo's
org-html5presentation (https://github.com/kinjo/org-html5presentation.el)
and org-impress-js (https://github.com/kinjo/org-impress-js.el).

I get errors like "void-variable org-export-html-special-string-regexps,"
but I don't know enough to change the commands into org-8ese. Does anyone
know how to do this?

Finally, are there good HTML-based slideshows that are compatible with org
8.x?

Thanks!

[O] Problem with automatic recursive adding of org-agenda-files

[Tor Eriksson]

Hello all,

I have searched the web without finding a solution to the following
problem:

I am using this snippet in my .emacs.d (using emacs starterkit) to
dynamically and recursively load all org files in the directory
"important-directory" and any subdirectory of this directory:

(load-library "find-lisp")
(setq org-agenda-files (find-lisp-find-files
"/home/user/important-directory" "\.org$"))

The snippet comes from http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html

This set-up has worked fine for more than two years; every time I add a new
subdirectory with an .org file, this file gets picked up for the agenda.

My problem is that now suddenly, one subdirectory with an .org file does
not get picked up and I can not for the world figure out what is wrong.

I had a file important-directory/sd/file.org that was picked up by the
snippet. Then, without restarting, I changed the name to file-2.org. When
refreshing the agenda with "g" it complains that the file is missing:
"Non-existent agenda file /file.org. [R]emove from list or [A]bort?".

I chose Remove, thinking that restarting emacs with the snippet would pick
up the new file name instead.

However, what happens is that the new file name is not picked up. If I
restart/run snippet, org-agenda-files is built but without the new file.

I tested to see if some other code were responsible by commenting out the
snippet with ;;. Upon restart org-agenda-files was not built/created as
expected. Uncommenting the snippet and org-agenda-files was back but still
without the new file file2.org.

In fact, now I can not get the snippet to pick up *any *new .org file in
the directory .../important-directory or subdiretory! Even when the new
.org file sits adjacent to a file that is picked up by the snippet.

Also, if I do the same procedure again to another file that is picked up by
the snippet by: changing the name of the file, updating agenda with g and
pressing Abort. Then this file is also not picked up any more; not under
the new name or, if I change the name back, under it's old name.

This is causing serious trouble to me, since I use this system to keep
track of deadlines that are really important.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Kind regards,

Tor

[O] generating ToC for existing PDF?

[Adam Spiers]

Hi all,

I have an existing PDF, along with a text file table of contents.  Is
it possible to use org to generate a new PDF which includes a ToC at
the beginning, where each item in the ToC is hyperlinked to its
corresponding page in the original PDF?  I see that org understands
hyperlinks like:

  docview:papers/last.pdf::NNN

but I'm not sure if exporting to PDF would preserve those hyperlinks,
and even if so, when merging the generated ToC with the original PDF,
there would need to be a way to adjust them to point within the new
merged file.

Thanks,
Adam

Check you don't have a "customize-variables" section at the end of your .emacs
file.

If you once did `[' or `]' or some such to add one Org file, Org adds a line in
your .emacs file. And that one will override your settings!!

Really hard to find, if we don't think at such...

Best regards,
  Seb

[O] Setting the PDF viewer

[Scott Randby]

If I have a file:./paper.pdf link in an Org document, the PDF opens
using GV when I click on the link. I like GV, but it doesn't support
links. How do I change the PDF viewer for file:./paper.pdf external
links?

Scott Randby

Re: [O] Setting the PDF viewer

[Oleh]

The variable to set is `org-file-apps'.
Here's what I have currently:

(setq org-file-apps '((auto-mode . emacs)
  ("\\.x?html?\\'" . "firefox %s")
  ("\\.pdf\\'" . "evince \"%s\"")
  ("\\.pdf::\\([0-9]+\\)\\'" . "evince \"%s\" -p %1")
  ("\\.pdf.xoj" . "xournal %s")))

Just change evince to your favorite viewer.
And make sure that you're calling `org-return' to open (it's bound to C-m).

[O] Giving priority to overdue habits that repeat more frequently

[Thomas Morgan]

Dear Org mode hackers,

Here is a patch to give priority to overdue habits that repeat more
frequently.  The number of times a habit would have been done if it
had always been on time is made a factor in its urgency score.  I'm
not sure if this is true for everyone but my more frequently repeating
habits are generally the ones I give priority to, so this behavior seems
to fit.

Thanks,
Thomas

Apologies for the noise. I'm exporting two documents with different

Is the docstring for org-latex-listing-options correct? I had to use

I add the follow to my setup to avoid any possibility of this:

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook
  '(lambda ()
 (org-defkey org-mode-map "\C-c["'undefined)
 (org-defkey org-mode-map "\C-c]"'undefined))

[O] Capture templates with "function" type

[Brett Viren]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a capture template of type "function" in order to
produce a daily log file named after today's date.

It mostly works.  However, after doing the C-cC-c to close the capture
buffer the window is left holding the daily log file which the capture
just updated instead of going back to whatever buffer I was in when I
initiated the capture.  This returning-to-previous-buffer behavior is
what I see when I use the file+headline capture type.

Can someone say how I might get this behavior for the "function" capture
type as well?  Here is my setup:

(defun bv-daily-log-file ()
  (find-file (concat "~/org/web/notes/" 
  (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d") ".org"))
  (goto-char (point-max))
  (newline 2)
)
(setq org-capture-templates 
 (quote 
  (
   ("n" "Note" entry
(function bv-daily-log-file)
"\* %U %^{title}\n  %a\n\n%?"
:empty-lines 1)
   )))


Thanks,
-Brett.

[O] [PATCH] Add \endifrsthead to longtable export

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha all,

Previously, export of LaTeX longtables that spanned a page break
generated a caption on each page, resulting in multiple entries in the
table of contents.

The attached patch for ox-latex.el implements the \endfirsthead command
so the caption only appears once, at the top of the table. Subsequent
pages of the table start with "Continued from previous page".

All the best,
Tom

Seems to work fine for me with the older version that I was running,

My TeX says 

This is TeX, Version 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2009/Debian)

but I don't know whether that explains it.

Export to Latex produces

\section{And this is the second slide}
\label{sec-2}
\begin{itemize}
\item with one commented item\ldots{}
\item \ldots{} containing a \href{https://www.google.com/#q%3Dorg%2Bmode}{link} 
that will amaze the reader
\end{itemize}

Export to beamer produces

\begin{frame}[label=sec-2]{And this is the second slide}
\begin{itemize}
\item with one commented item\ldots{}
\item \ldots{} containing a \href{https://www.google.com/#q%3Dorg%2Bmode}{link} 
that will amaze the reader
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

so the link is treated exactly the same in the two cases. Probably the
enclosing environment (\section vs \frame) is what causes the different
behavior.

[O] Setting properties when scrolling around buffer puts property in wrong headline

[John Hendy]

Greetings,


I'm supposing there's no way around this... but I'm creating a
taskjuggler document that's fairly wrong. I often find myself in a
situation where I go to set a :depends: property to reference another
headline and need to go see what it's task_id is. So, I scroll down,
look at the task, then enter the correct task_id in the minibuffer
(which is still active after doing C-c C-x p property-name RET), and
then find that it's been inserted in a different headline since
scrolling moves the point/cursor to a different headline.

Again, I'm thinking that Emacs just works differently than other
programs in that the cursor appears to move to stay in the view of the
current buffer vs. staying at the existing point regardless of where
I'm looking in the file.

Is there a way around this issue? Almost like remembering the MARK
where either 1) the command was initiated or 2) where it was when the
property name was typed, followed by RET (but prior to setting the
value) vs. wherever the cursor ends up between setting the property
name and actually setting the value?


Thanks!
John

P.S. if the issue is unclear, open up a longer Org document and unfold
enough headlines so that the entire file cannot be viewed within the
height. Go a headline near the top and do C-c C-x p. Type a property
name and press RET. Now scroll down a bit in the buffer and then type
in the name of the property and press RET. The property will be
inserted in whatever headline you're cursor scrolled down to, not the
headline in which you initiated the command.

Re: [O] trying to write a guidebook for students using org , need help with formating

[Xebar Saram]

Hi again all

so i tried playing around with the latex options, read the Latex org manual
part but still confused and i still get the lines cut.

the one thing that did work was using this:

begin{itemize}

\item testing1 the long lines testing2 the long lines testing3 the long
lines testing4 the long lines testing5 the long lines testing6 the long
lines
\item
\item
\item
\item
\end{itemize}

but that seems very cumbersome, inserting it every time, writing the lines
after the \items etc..

I am really content with using the org example method. is there no way to
make the exporter to pdf (latex i guess) auto wrap lines?

thx alot

Z
