I was looking for something similar and someone provided a custom
capture template that allowed for using inactive timestamps vs. the
default datetree format.
See the example provided here:
- http://osdir.com/ml/emacs-orgmode-gnu/2012-08/msg00396.html
I fiddled with this a bit, not really being familiar and learned a
good bit in the process to achieve your desired format. Give this a
try:
#+begin_src .emacs
(setq org-capture-templates
`(("t" "test" entry
(file+headline "~/file.org"
,(format "%s"
(format-time-string "%m")))
,(format "** %s \n*** %s-%s \n**** [%s-%s-%s %s %s:%s] "
(format-time-string "%d")
(format-time-string "%Y")
(format-time-string "%A")
(format-time-string "%Y")
(format-time-string "%m")
(format-time-string "%d")
(format-time-string "%a")
(format-time-string "%H")
(format-time-string "%M"))
)))
#+end_src
One thing I couldn't figure out was how to insert a %? after that
second long format option. If I just put in %?, loading .emacs caused
the error "Not enough arguments to format" or something like that. I'm
sure there's some secret elisp escape syntax I just don't know. I
tried various combinations of \ and '("") with no success.
That'd put the finishing touch on things so your cursor was where you wanted it.
Also, for those seeing this... is this how you would accomplish c.b's
goal? I just used the sample provided to me in the earlier mailing
list email to see if I was up for the challenge, but I have no basis
for knowing whether it's a good solution.
Hope that helps!
