Hello!
I'm having some trouble with org-capture. Could someone explain to me why
the following is not working? (And what to do to get it to work..)
Code:
(defvar my-gtd-inbox-file (concat my-gtd-root "inbox.org"))
;;; Capture templates
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("n" "Note" entry (file my-gtd-inbox-file)
"* %?\n %i\n %a")
("j" "Journal" entry (file+datetree my-gtd-journal-file)
"* %?\nEntered on %U\n %i\n %a")))
End code.
what I've figured so far is that variables cannot be used in templates... Is
there some workaround for this, or could it possibly be implemented? I need
it since i'm on multiple systems where paths to the same files might differ
depending on the system in use...
Regards Gustav Wikström

From what I understand from the docs (I didn't look at the code),
variables cannot be used.
One way to work around this problem is to use the org-directory variable.
(setq org-directory "~/life-in-plain-text/")
Then, you need not specify the path in the capture templates. You can
just specify the file name (inbox.org)

Backquotes and commas are your friends:
(setq org-capture-templates
`(("n" "Note" entry (file ,my-gtd-inbox-file)
"* %?\n %i\n %a")
("j" "Journal" entry (file+datetree ,my-gtd-journal-file)
"* %?\nEntered on %U\n %i\n %a")))
