I'm trying to get going with org-publish, but am falling at the first hurdle. I can't get it to do anything...
C-h v shows that org-publish-projects-alist has the value
(("website" :base-directory "~/website/" :publishing-directory "~/pub_html/website/" :section-numbers nil :table-of-contents nil))
The directory ~/website exists and contains a trivial org syntax file called root.org ('* hello' followed by a newline)
The directory ~/pub_html/website exists.
I was expecting org-publish website, and C-c C-e X website (incidentally the X is erroneously down as a C in the documentation node 13.3) to result in a file called root.html being written to ~/pub_html/website, but that directory remains empty, despite repeated invocations of the same commands...
I know I'm being stupid... how, please?
Cheers,
Dan
Org-mode version 6.06pre01
I've tried with and without the trailing slashes on the base/publishing-directory values, the documentation shows trailing slashes
I've tried manually expanding ~, to no avail. (But I believe ~ should be fine as it is)

So maybe Manish was on > the right track, hopefully. Yes, he was. I think I may have identified the bug. The symptom is that when the directory ~/.org-timestamps does not exist, org-publish does nothing. I think what it should do is create ~/.org-timestamps, and go ahead with the requested publishing. org-publish.el contains the function org-publish-needed-p which is supposed to return 't' if the file should be published. Here's my suggested change which seems to result in the behaviour I was expecting. But I haven't looked at the code extensively, maybe there's some more appropriate place to make the missing timestamp directory. Also, I barely know what I'm doing in elisp.

It is not trivial to implement this because I would need a global variable to keep track of things. For now, I am showing a message for each published and for each skipped file. Bu I agree that a simple publishing statistics message at the very end would be better. - Carsten > > >> >> On Jul 4, 2008, at 3:50 PM, Dan Davison wrote: >> >>> On Sat, Jul 05, 2008 at 12:04:48AM +0200, Sebastian Rose wrote: >>>> Hi Dan, >>>> >>>> org-publish-to-html is the default as I look in the code ... >>>> >>>> Sorry. >>>> >>>> When I put the value of your org-publish-projects-alist into my >>>> own one and evaluate it, it works here.
