I'm trying to make a remember template that inserts some text
automatically.
I read in the manual that %(sexp) would expand in the template. This
would be what I want, if I've understood the manual aright.
I made a small function that inserts text (org-csa) and this is the
template I originally tried.
("CSA" ?C "* TODO %^{topic} %^g\n %t\n %(org-csa) %&" "CSA.org" bottom)
This put
* TODO %^{topic} %^g
<2009-06-15 Mon>
%&
In the remember buffer.
I then tried
("CSA" ?C "* TODO %^{topic} %^g\n %t\n %^(org-csa) %&" "~/.org/CSA.org"
bottom)
Which prompted me for a string and added the (org-csa) in the remember
buffer. (I filled in the various prompts)
* TODO charity ball :July:
<2009-06-15 Mon>
(org-csa)
Have I misunderstood the manual? I thought that the sexp would be
evaluated in the remember buffer. But neither with the ^ prompt which at
least made the remember buffer work as expected or without where even the
other prompts did not work at all, the (org-csa) did not get expanded.
Obviously I can evaluated it in the CSA.org buffer but that is not what I
want at all. Maybe I should use org-eval?

The function should not insert anything into any buffer: it should
*return* what you want to be inserted. For example, the following
minimal .emacs works just fine (after fixing the path appropriately):
,----
| (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "/path/to/org-mode/lisp"))
| (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\|txt\\)$" . org-mode))
| (require 'org-install)
| (global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
| (global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
|
| ;;;;
| (setq org-remember-templates '(("CSA" ?C "* TODO %^{topic} %^g\n %t\n %(org-csa) %&" "CSA.org" bottom)))
| (defun org-csa ()
| "foobar")
| (org-remember-insinuate)
|
| ;;;;;

So my problem is that my function org-csa is inserting text? I will try
this out.
Ah thanks that works nicely. A conceptual dissonance between returning
values and inserting text.
