I think it mostly has this, in the sense that you can add packages into

Different versions you can do. Deactivation at the moment, no, although

That one would be a bit harder, although you could add support for
package repositories to add their own numbering scheme by installating a
package.

Some did say radical, unfortunately.

Still, you give me encouragement. I may complete my solution after

[O] A modest "framework" for authoring teaching material with org-mode

2016-12-20 Thread Olivier Berger
Hi.

For teachning this year, I've used a "framework" that consists in a set
of umbrella .org documents which generate various output formats from a
single included .org source.

The goal is to author only a single "lesson.org" source, and generate both
PDF handbooks (for students or teachers) and Web slides (using
reveal.js, using org-reveal).

I thinks it may be useful to some, so I've decided to document and
publish it :

http://www-public.tem-tsp.eu/~berger_o/org-teaching/


An example slides deck (self documenting it) :
http://www-public.tem-tsp.eu/~berger_o/org-teaching/slides.html
and corresponding handbook :
http://www-public.tem-tsp.eu/~berger_o/org-teaching/handbook.pdf


Feel free to reuse, adapt, enhance and report.

Hope this helps.

You may not find it funny, but it's definitely informative, since it

There once was a discussion on this topic here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2016-08/msg00165.html

I am a bit worried: So far, I got 125870 manually set ID properties
in my Org-mode files. 

To me, using :ID: was straight forward since I never read about any
other ID when I began with Org-mode in 2011.

Many features required me to have an :ID: and no feature I stumbled
upon required me to have something else as reference:
id:this-is-an-id, making references using org-store-link, and so
forth.

So let's search through the manual:
http://orgmode.org/org.html#Internal-links
http://orgmode.org/org.html#Handling-links
http://orgmode.org/org.html#Search-options

Well, either this did not exist in 2011 or I was not paying
attention. I never faced any disadvantage, using ID properties
instead.

Do I really need to migrate and risk broken links? Or is there a
safe way to move to CUSTOM_ID?

Are there advantages when I switch to CUSTOM_IDs?

Do I really have to have a CUSTOM_ID *and* an ID set for being able
to reference any heading via human-readable ids *and* features like
org-store-link and so on?

Well, I am afraid that I am totally lost when it comes to "pretty
much already done". The great Professor Kitchin helped me with a
sophisticated function and sent me the "almost finished" code and I
failed at making it run :-(

However, I do tend to think that the ID picker would be of general
interest and I'd like to see it in the global Org-mode featureset
for multiple purposes, not only defining org-depend dependencies.

I got the tipp of creating «~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-3101/org-pkg.el»
with:
  (define-package "org" "3101" "Dummy org mode package" 'nil)

And this simulates the fulfilled dependency so that my git version
of Org-mode is the only one installed (besides maybe the default one
from Emacs).

Ha, sorry, I'll actually look at org-depend...

...okay, so it looks like the :TRIGGER: property can contain several
different types of values. But from your message you seem to be talking
about this kind:

some-other-headings-id-df83454(NEXT)

So the code you'd want would be (I actually tested it this time):

(defun my-trigger-property-prompt (&rest args)
  (when (derived-mode-p 'org-mode)
(let ((id (org-id-get-with-outline-path-completion))
  (kw (org-completing-read "Keyword: " org-todo-keywords-1 nil nil)))
  (format "%s(%s)" id kw

(push '("TRIGGER" . my-trigger-property-prompt)
  org-property-set-functions-alist)

I switched from `org-id-get-with-outline-drilling', as that raised an
error about `org-goto-map' being an undefined variable (lexical scoping
issue?). Also, this only does the one kind of TRIGGER format. Also it is
limited to completing on the TODO keywords defined in the current file,
but will accept others.

In short, it's got lots of limitations, but please do eval the above and
see if it works, then we can go from there.

Re: [O] Mobile org on osx

2016-12-20 Thread John Hendy
Copied from my last response to a similarly vague question:

#+begin_quote
Greetings,


To help anyone with much effectiveness, background information is
critical. I'm guessing you're referring to Mobile Org (not Org Mobile)
and infer you might be using the iPhone version (since your address is
icloud).

Other than that... we're completely in the dark. What was your syncing
backend (dropbox, ssh, other)? What settings did you apply per the
instructions? [1] Did you even follow the instructions? At what stage,
specifically, did you get said message?

More details from you = better help from us.


John

[1] http://orgmode.org/manual/MobileOrg.html

#+end_quote

You're free to continue sending one line emails to the list, but I
promise we can't help you without more details. Mobile Org for iPhone
(still unclear if you're using that version or Android, though icloud
and now OSX suggest iPhone) allows for dropbox and webdav sync. So the
answer with current minimal knowledge is "maybe?" What are
installation files? *If* you select Dropbox as your sync backend then
it is used as an online repository for a local Org-mode installation
(on computer) to sync between a mobile device (such as an iPhone).
So... typically .org files would be visible in the Dropbox directory
you selected. I don't know what you did, what you think should happen,
what you actually see... so I can't help.

Re: [O] Elisp: help on string operations for fast file visiting

2016-12-20 Thread John Kitchin
This is a different approach to what I think you want.

Here is what I assume in this:
1. All the things you want to search for are in a file called
archive.org which is in the same directory you are searching for (use an
absolute path if it is not).
2. You have file links that only have a path, i.e. nothing like
file:test.odp::45
3. You want the query to match some part of the path in a file link.
4. if you click on the link you want, it will open the file in the
external program you want it to open in. This will probably work if they
are always absolute paths, and might be a problem for relative paths
(they would need to be correctly converted to absolute paths).

What it does is get all the file links in the archive.org file that
have a path that matches the query. If there is none, you get a message.
If there is one, it opens it as if you clicked on the link. and if there
is more than one, it prompts you with completing read to choose one,
then opens it.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun memacs-file (query)
  "Open memacs files by QUERY."
  (interactive "sQuery: ")
  (with-current-buffer (find-file-noselect "archive.org")
(let ((links (org-element-map (org-element-parse-buffer) 'link
   (lambda (link)
 (when (string-match query (org-element-property :path 
link)) link)
  (cond
   ((= 0 (length links))
(message "No files found."))
   ((= 1 (length links))
(org-open-link-from-string
 (format "[[file:%s]]" (org-element-property :path (car links)
   (t
(org-open-link-from-string 
 (completing-read
  "File: "
  (mapcar (lambda (link)
(format "[[file:%s]]" (org-element-property :path link)))
  links
#+END_SRC

For a large archive file, you might be better off with a grep solution,
since this has to parse the file first.

Re: [O] Mobile org on osx

2016-12-20 Thread Sean Escriva
If you're referring to MobileOrg (here:
https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg) I'm the current maintainer and
there is active work underway to release a new version. If it is with
MobileOrg, feel free to open an issue on github.

We'll need a little more info though to help you out.

Re: [O] mobile org org mode versions

2016-12-20 Thread Sean Escriva
Hi Matthew, do you mean MobileOrg for iOS or the android application?
There's not hard constraint on org-* version for MobileOrg iOS as it just
uses the built in org-mobile-push, org-mobile-pull commands.

Re: [O] staging area mobile org

2016-12-20 Thread Sean Escriva
This directory should be created when you link the app to dropbox and it
should get created at ~/Dropbox/Apps/MobileOrg due to how Dropbox handles
app permissions.

If you're experiencing issues, watch for a new release. We're beta testing
now with the v2 of the Dropbox API

2016-12-20 Thread Sean Escriva
If this is MobileOrg iOS I'm assuming it's related to dropbox api changes.
We're currently beta testing a switch over to v2 of their API and it is
working well in local testing so far.
