I removed directory names from my projects list thus

,----
| (setq org-publish-project-alist
|       '(
| 	("web-extra"
| 	 :base-directory rgr-source  ;; **********************************
| 	 :publishing-directory rgr-publish
| 	 :base-extension "gif\\|jpg\\|jpeg\\|png\\|css"
| 	 :publishing-function org-publish-attachment
|          :recursive t
| 	 )
| 	("web-org"
| 	 :base-directory rgr-source
| 	 :publishing-directory rgr-publish
| 	 :base-extension "org"
| 	 :publishing-function org-publish-org-to-html
|          :recursive t
| 	 :section-numbers nil
| 	 :style "<link rel=stylesheet
|                      href=\"./style.css\"
|                      type=\"text/css\">"
| 	 :auto-preamble t
| 	 :auto-postamble t
| 	 :preamble (format "<div id='Content'><a href='../'>Back</a> - <a href='%s'>Home</a>" rgr-home)
| 	 :postamble "</div>"
| 	 :author nil
| 	 )
| 	("web"
| 	 :components("web-org" "web-extra")
| 	 )
| 	)
|       )
`----

I included an external file:

,----
| (load-file "~/.emacs.d/.webvars")
`----

where I declares the variables:

,----
| (setq rgr-source "/home/sh/webs/rgr/")
| (setq rgr-publish  "/ssh:rgr.net:/home/sh/webs/rgr/")
| (setq rgr-home "http://rgr.net/default/")
`----

C-h v on "rgr-source" gives

,----
| rgr-source's value is 
| "/home/sh/webs/rgr/"
| 
| Documentation:
| Not documented as a variable.
`----

but when I publish the project or a project file I get this:

,----
| org-publish-get-base-files: Wrong type argument: stringp, rgr-source
`----

I have a niggly feeling its going to be something obvious but what?

thanks for any info,

r.

  Hi Richard,
  
  no, variables are not interpolated into quoted lists,
  any list preceded by "'" is quoted.
  
  If you can guarantee that the value of the variables is define at the  
  time the
  
     (setq org-publish-projects-alist ...
  
  is executed, then you can use backquote syntax:  Quote the main list  
  with the backquote, and then preceed any variable inside you would  
  like to have evaluated with a comma so
  
  (setq org-publish-projects-alist
          `( .............
              ,rgr-souerce
              ....))
  
  Note that this works only once, so if you later change the value, this
  list will not be changed.
  
  If you wanted dynamic behavior, then we would have to patch org- 
  publish.el.

    Thanks - wow, I would never have found that!
    
    Just testing it I noticed a small "feature" (possibly bug). We talked
    about buffers being opened in the past when publishing. Now the project
    publish is nice and quiet except for one case:
    
    I break my site down to many subdirs each with an index.org/html.
    
    If I open my "homepage" e.g ~/myweb/index.org, and then publish the
    entire project while in that buffer then any other "index" replaces it
    during the publish process - it is was replaced by
    ~/myweb/projects/index.org<2>" in the focused window. Not a day breaker
    I admit, but still a slight "blip" in the otherwise super quiet publish
    process.
    
    And the quoting works fine, thanks for the explanation.

      Does setting the `:index-filename' help?

        I do not use auto-index but have my own index.org files. I believe
        Carsten has addressed this issue.

          Not shure, how this is implemented at the moment. "index.org" is the
          default for `:index-filename'.
