Hi,
I'm writing a custom function for use with a capture template, as
described in the section Template elements (sec 9.1.3.1) of the info
manual. My function does what I expect in that it finds the correct
heading (in my use case "Log") and returns point. However, if the Log
heading has no children, the capture template is filed as a sibling, and
not a child. I have spent some time now on this seemingly simple
problem, but being a newbie on elisp I must admit I'm stuck.
Here's an example outline:
* Projects
** Prj 1
*** Log
*** Tasks
**** Clocked entry
So, the capture template should end up as a child to Log. From what I
could tell by reading the documentation, the capture template is
placed at a given level by the org-paste-subtree function, which in term
is derived from the *visible* headings. If the Log entry already has a
child, capture indeed places the template at the desired level, but how
do I acquire this behaviour if there are no children?
My function currently looks up the clocked entry, ascends to level 2
and looks for Log among the children:
(defun peru/org-capture-project-log nil
(org-clock-goto)
(while
(> (funcall outline-level) 2)
(org-up-heading-safe))
(org-goto-first-child)
(while
(not (string= (nth 4 (org-heading-components)) "Log"))
(org-goto-sibling)
)
(if (not (string= (nth 4 (org-heading-components)) "Log"))
(error "No Log entry under current project; please add"))
;; From org-paste-subtree:
;; if cursor is at beginning of headline, same level used
(goto-char (point-at-bol))
;; Alternatively put at eol; level derived from visible headings
;; (goto-char (point-at-eol))
)
I have thought of an alternative tag-based way of grouping my log
entries, but I would still like to understand what I'm missing here.
Cheers,
Per

I'm messing about with some similar template-placement routines, so I
tried your recipe below, and it worked for me... Capture by default will
create a child of the heading point is on, so I really don't see why
this wouldn't work. You've stepped through the function and confirmed
that the (goto-char (point-at-bol)) line leaves you at the "Log"
heading?
Is the tree structure folded or open at the time? You might try an
(org-reveal) after the (org-clock-goto); I'm still not really clear on
the interaction between visibility and heading insertion.
I think you're note about "if cursor is at beginning of headline, same
level used" doesn't really apply here, as the capture process does a lot
more than just pasting a subtree.
Anyway, I can't reproduce the problem -- do try messing with
visibility...

Odd, as I still can't get it to work. I tried it out with emacs -Q, just
defining that org-capture template and running it on a simple example.

Yes, it leaves point at the very beginnig of that heading. The template
itself is always inserted at point, so it ends up as a sibling just
before the Log heading. Actually, the only way I can get it to work is
if Log has a child, and I add a (org-goto-first-child) after locating
the Log heading.

Me neither, but unfortunately changing visibility doesn't help.

Ok, thanks anyway for your input, I'll figure it out some other way.
