Hi,
first, am i right i assuming that the file+olp is designed so that i
can specify the top of a tree, and the headings in the tree i want to
be able to capture to?
That is what i am trying to do with the "1" option. It does not
evaluate the concat operation and so fails.
;; constant used in lots of other things.
(defconst toc:ze-org-dir "~/org/")
;; example org template
(setq org-capture-templates
'(
;; works
;; (file+headline "path/to/file" "node headline")
("0" "0+inbox" entry
(file+headline (concat toc:ze-org-dir "0+inbox.org")
"+INBOX") "* %? \n")
;; does not work
;; (file+olp "path/to/file" "Level 1 heading" "Level 2" ...)
("1" "1+projects" entry
(file+olp (concat toc:ze-org-dir "1+projects.org") "+TASKS"
"+PROJECTS")
"* ")))
Tim.

Tim,
I ran into the exact same issue yesterday, in fact, our
examples are almost identical!
Here is the reply I received from David.

I didn't tried his solution yet, but it should work.

Hi everyone,
this begins to smell like it should be a FAQ entry.... :)

Indeed! I added a FAQ entry for this.
This will be in http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php under this headline:
"Can I use a variable or a function inside the `org-capture-templates'
variable?"
