Hi, This is a much better version of the little add-on I've written: Bill-of-materials (org-bom.el) I've used this for over 6 months now, daily. If you ever need to quickly make a quote for a client, or simply make easy to-buy list, this should help you. You can find the code here: http://pastebin.com/K11QpQ6Q The tutorial is included with it, but here is an eye-friendly version: http://frozenlock.wordpress.com/2011/10/20/bom-bills-of-materials/ Finally, just to tease you, this is a table generated from various data gathered inside a buffer: #+BEGIN: bom :total t :no-tag t :description t :price t | Component | Quantity | Price | Description | |-----------------+----------+-------+--------------| | CDs | 50 | | Not DVDs | | Headset | 1 | | N/A | | Keyboard | 3 | 120 | Used to type | | Mouse | 2 | | N/A | | USB flash drive | 23 | | N/A | |-----------------+----------+-------+--------------| | TOTAL: | | 120 | | #+TBLFM: @>$3=vsum(@I..@>>) #+END: Enjoy!

Seems like org-bom.el is a good candidate for contrib/ (assuming
Frozenlock agrees).

Of course I do, it would be an honor! ;-)

Hi Bastien, I'm trying to push my changes to the Worg repo, but it asks me for my repo.or.cz's password. This confuses me, as the repo.or.cz states that they don't use password. One of the changes I've made is to host the org-bom.el on github (better than pastebin). https://github.com/Frozenlock/Org-Bill-of-materials I've also corrected a bug which caused a mixed section when more than one was specified per row. Have a nice day!

You need to register as a user on repo.or.cz: http://repo.or.cz/reguser.cgi then write to Matt Lundin <mdl @ imapmail.org> telling him what your username is, he will add you to the Worg project so that you can push changes directly. > One of the changes I've made is to host the org-bom.el on github > (better than pastebin). > https://github.com/Frozenlock/Org-Bill-of-materials Indeed! > I've also corrected a bug which caused a mixed section when more than > one was specified per row. Thanks -- looking for the changes on Worg. Also, I will have a closer look at org-bom.el before adding it to contrib/. If there are any users of org-bom.el, please share your feedback!
