someone needs to explain all this shit:

wux@dimholt:~$ ls orgy/
##contacts.org##~  contacts.org   #company.org#  #ticket.org#   work.org
#contacts.org#     contacts.org~  ##ticket.org##   #ticket.org#~  work.org~

do I link the hashhash, or not? I take it tilde is a swap or a temp file?

OK OK. dealt with it. removed all that, still no idea whay it makes those ##files.org##

If you've opened #file# and emacs then autosaves that file, I would assume it becomes ##file##

Posted: **Tue May 24, 2016 2:17 pm**

#file# is autosave, just so you can revert easily if something goes wrong
file~ is a backup copy.

If you want to prevent spamming your directories with backups, you can do something like this:

Code: Select all

(setq backup-directory-alist '((".*" . "~/.emacs.d/backup"))
      version-control        t          ; Version number for backup files
      delete-old-versions    t)

(setq auto-save-list-file-prefix     "~/.emacs.d/autosave/"
      auto-save-file-name-transforms '((".*" "~/.emacs.d/autosave/" t)))

oh ok - thanks makes sense.

note: if you try to sync/copy a directory with autosaved files (like # or ~ in their name), this won't always work with FUSE (for example ExtFS). It will require you to rename or delete them anyway then. So the idea of Gekko is a good one, simply turn off the tilde or make it use another extension, and don't link to backup or autosave files.

Thank you, bet you are regretting wuxmacs now...

It's working fairly nicely, the odd things are; to swap buffer from vertical to horzontal, is a bit crazy (I just close, reopen with the window taller than wide)
this: http://emacs.stackexchange.com/question ... rnal-links
I guess that line goes in emacs.d/somewhere?

Got the thing set up nice, need to do the 'open on that page' by default.
not sure if i need the contacts set by column, looks pretty, but rather too long.
I guess I can make tags instead of column entries, the column didn't export any useful data as HTML (I'd like a web view.)
so

Code: Select all

* contacts
** contact, name
phone: 232323
email: [email protected]
etc...
** another, contact

not sure what the difference/benefits would be.

You want horizontal split by default?

Code: Select all

(setq split-height-threshold 0)
(setq split-width-threshold 0)

in ~/.emacs , save and re-evaluate (using "M-x eval-buffer")

Posted: **Wed May 25, 2016 2:42 pm**

Something useful (YMMV):

Code: Select all

 (setq org-log-done 'time
        org-hide-emphasis-markers t
        org-refile-targets '((org-agenda-files . (:maxlevel . 6)))
        org-agenda-start-on-weekday nil
        org-agenda-include-diary t
        org-agenda-use-time-grid t
        ;; Follow links by pressing ENTER on them
        org-return-follows-link t)

  (setq org-directory (expand-file-name "~/org/")
        org-default-notes-file
        (expand-file-name "organizer.org" org-directory))

  ;; Use visual-line-mode
  (add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'visual-line-mode)

  ;; Define TODO workflow states
  (setq org-todo-keywords
        '("TODO(t)" "WAITING(w)" "INFO(i)"
          "|" "CANCELLED(c)" "DONE(x)"))

About export to HTML, that's something like C-c C-e h h

I am not sure if this is what you mean or actually want. Can you elaborate a bit?
http://orgmode.org/manual/Handling-links.html

Maybe you actually want something like a spreadsheet functionality? That does work: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/o ... intro.html

Sorry for being a bit slow :D

I use ox-pandoc for pretty HTML exports, with a custom CSS:

Code: Select all

(setq org-pandoc-options '((standalone . t)))

;; Use external css for html5
(let ((stylesheet (expand-file-name
                   (locate-user-emacs-file "etc/pandoc.css"))))
    (setq org-pandoc-options-for-html5
          `((css . ,(concat "file://" stylesheet)))))

You need latest pandoc for this, I grabbed it from here.

Thanks for all the links and things.

so I have a ticket TODO list, with the cust details link to the contacts file, 'file:contacts.org::Name'
There is some, 'no new header, create y/n?' error, I've googled and I think that can be silenced.
both of those buffers (ticket and contacts) are likely open all the time anyway - that all works fine.

Normal html comes out fine, not a prob - it just doesn't contain the customer details just the ** TODO header, it ignores the :PROPERTIES:
Can't really show you -a bit like this :)

Code: Select all

** Joe, Debian

:PROPERTIES:
:Company:      Company
:Email:        [email protected]
:Phone:        
:Mobile:
:END:

all one sees on the html is "1.2 Joe, Debian" thats it, it's probably an export option I missed.

I hate spreadsheets with a passion - so anything like that isn't really what I want. It just that listing type order of tags looked useful when I was searching for a contact list template, everyone else seems to use another thing (ie abook), might as well have it emacs (see, I'm getting into the spirit of the thing!)

just a list of all the details the contacts need to have on them. So I would definitely need a Name:, Adress: type things, so I suppose the tags stay.

Don't worry about slow. I have a long way to go.

Try adding this to your Org file:

Code: Select all

#+OPTIONS: tags:t prop:t d:t

Posted: **Thu May 26, 2016 11:10 am**

if you're willing to install extension : http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/

Then do M-x org-contacts, and you're all set

Posted: **Thu May 26, 2016 12:55 pm**

^ yeah the one that bails:
https://julien.danjou.info/software/org-contacts.el
didn't fancy that one :)

^^ whaddas that do?

c-x c-s is slightly better than :w though..

Posted: **Thu May 26, 2016 2:32 pm**

^ http://orgmode.org/manual/Export-settings.html :)

Posted: **Thu May 26, 2016 2:51 pm**

yeah, ok so - why the 't' at the end of each option?
it still didn't dump the html, it's on both (only) org files.
not really important.

Posted: **Thu May 26, 2016 3:22 pm**

The 't' is to enable them (as opposed to 'nil' to disable them).

From this file org:

Code: Select all

#+STARTUP: showall
#+OPTIONS: prop:t

** Joe, Debian

:PROPERTIES:
:Company:      Company
:Email:        [email protected]
:Phone:
:Mobile:
:END:

I get this html file doing "C-c C-e h o": http://www.boccaperta.com/wuxie.html
I am using Org 8.3.4.

Posted: **Thu May 26, 2016 7:10 pm**

^ thanks - that's what I thought it should look like.
I'll have a look once I'm at my desk.

Posted: **Fri May 27, 2016 7:40 am**

^ I get the same - just the ** headers.
can't get an ascii file either. weird.

Emacs 24.5.1 (Org mode 8.2.10) it says.
removed the columns and made it like yours:

Code: Select all

#+STARTUP: showall
#+OPTIONS: prop:t

* Contacts    
** Last, Name

:PROPERTIES:
:Company:      company
[...etc...]
:END:

I give up, doesn't matter
