Subject: Re: Dynamically creating capture mode templates (solved)
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2015 22:34:19 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAB=m8wJ+FtMumFDYa4i10DmmmJsPNb0q3A8C4Cd1VYjLOABSdg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Needed to use backquotes correctly:
(setq products '("Firebird" "Ion"))
(dolist (product products)
(setq org-capture-templates
(append org-capture-templates `( (,(substring product 0 1) ,product)
(,(concat (substring product 0
1) "t" ) "Todo" entry (file+headline (concat org-directory
"/default.org") ,product) "* TODO %?" ) ))))
Again - I hope this helps someone else in the future.
Thanks!
