Sorry for pushing that, but is very annoying to have to load the file
manually at each startup.
Could anyone tell me if I'm doing something wrong here?
My ´Emacs`version: GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 2012-08-29
on MARVIN
What I tried:
## ~/.emacs
in the file `~/.emacs` I have (among others) those lines:
(if (boundp 'org-mode-user-lisp-path)
(add-to-list 'load-path org-mode-user-lisp-path)
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name
"~/org-mode/org_current/lisp")))
(setq default-directory "C:/Users/mypath/" )
(if (boundp 'org-mode-user-contrib-lisp-path)
(add-to-list 'load-path org-mode-user-contrib-lisp-path)
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name
"~/org-mode/org_current/contrib/lisp/"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/org-mode/morelisp/")))
(require 'icicles)
(require 'dired+)
(require 'org)
(require 'bookmark+)
(load "org")
and later
(load "C:/Users/mypath/org-config/myname_orgmodeconfig.el")
## C:/Users/mypath/org-config/myname_orgmodeconfig.el
contains
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\|txt\\)$" .
org-mode))
;; Standard key bindings
(global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
(if (boundp 'org-user-agenda-files)
(setq org-agenda-files org-user-agenda-files)
(setq org-agenda-files (quote ("~/org"
))))
So I try to use all org-files in the path `~/org` as agenda files.
When I launch `emacs`, I get the following result in the `*Messages` buffer:
Turning OFF Icicle mode...done
Turning ON Icicle mode...done
Turning OFF Icicle mode...done
Turning ON Icicle mode...done
Turning ON Icicle mode...done
Turning OFF Icicle mode...done
Loading c:/Users/mypath/org-mode/org_current/lisp/org.el (source)...done
Loading c:/Users/mypath/org-config/myname_orgmodeconfig.el (source)...done
Loading paren...done
For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.
# The Problem
So I assume, as the file `myname_orgmodeconfig.el` has been loaded, all
the elisp code inside should have been executed and it should have also set
my agenda files.
**However, the list of agenda files is empty after startup.
When I then _manually_ ofen the file `myname_orgmodeconfig.el` and execute
the command `eval-buffer`, everything is fine.**
How can I fix that?
Kind regards
Martin

Sorry for asking again, but this issue is still a big problem for me, as I
have to load my settings file manually (open, eval-buffer, close) at each
startup...
I'm trying to use a custom setup for `org-mode 8.2` on `Windows 7`, but it
does not work as expected.

By hand, do
M-x load-file RET path-to-file RET
Now after you have done this, do
M-x list-command-history RET
And copy-paste the relevant portion to your .emacs. That is all. No
need to mess with load-path.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Here is what I get, when I follow the above sequence on one of my files.
(load-file "~/.emacs.d/lisp/hx.el")

For my understanding: Is there a difference between load and load-file?
Anyway, thanks a lot! That helped me quickly finding the source of my
2 real problems:
I first loaded the second .el file with my custom settings
from my .emacs and then afterwards overwrote these custom
agenda settings like the agenda-files with the following commands
in my .emacs, which had been inserted at the end of the
.emacs file... :-(
By placing the loading of my custom settings from the 2nd
file at the end of my .emacs, the
problem was solved.
The other problem was, that due to a permissions problem,
the evaluation of my .emacs file was interrupted at the
(server-start) command..
Kind regards
Martin

Replace this with (require 'org)
And make sure (1) you have been running ~$ make (or ~$ make autoloads)
in your Org directory.
If this does not work, please use M-x org-version RET and report the
exact version number.
Thanks,

I thought requiring org wasn't required anymore?

Yes, it is not required, but better than (load "org").

Great -- just making sure I'm not goofing my own setup. Looks like he
actually has both:
#+begin_quote
(require 'icicles)
(require 'dired+)
(require 'org)
(require 'bookmark+)
(load "org")
#+end_quote

Hi Bastien,
thanks a lot, I'll also change this, however the 2 real sources of the problem
seemed to be the following:
1) I had the load command for the .el file in the middle of my .emacs
(not in the end) and then some agenda settings were overwritten by ,emacs
again later.
2) the evaluation of my .emacs was interrupted somewhere in the middle
due to permissions problems with the .emacs.d directory ...
Kind regards
Martin
