org-contacts after org-mode update from 7.4 to 7.5

org-contacts after org-mode update from 7.4 to 7.5

[Martin Butz]

Hi,

after updating from org-mode 7.4 to org-mode 7.5 I keep getting an 
error. While trying to create a new contact the template for my contacts 
says:

* %![Error: (error No buffer named *Article*)]
:PROPERTIES:
:EMAIL: %![Error: (error No buffer named *Article*)]
:PHONE_OFFICE: %^{Telefon (Büro)}
:FAX_OFFICE: %^{Fax (Büro)}
:PHONE_MOBILE: %^{Telefon (mobil)}
:PHONE_PRIVATE: %^{Telefon (privat)}
:SKYPE: %^{Skype-Name}
:URL: %^{Web}
:COMPANY: %^{Firmenname}
:POSITION: %^{Position/Stellung}
:COUNTRY: %^{Land}
:POSTCODE: %^{Postleitzahl}
:CITY: %^{Stadt}
:STREET: %^{Straße, Hausnummer}
:END:

thus preventing me to input the new contact's name. The prompt asks for 
the input of tags.

The last org-contacts.el I downloaded from 
git.naquadah.org/org-contacts.git. As the org-contacts home page says, 
org-contacts.el is now part of org-mode in the contrib folder I 
downloaded org-mode from clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git and used 
the included org-contacts.el with no difference.

I'd be grateful for a hint. Googeling and scanning the mailing list did 
not bring me any result. Probably I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks
Martin

Using `org-contacts-template-*` in the capture template depends on you
using Gnus and thus having a '*Article*' Buffer.

So you might prefer using `%^{Name}` and `%^{Email}` instead, if you do
not use Gnus.

In case you use Wanderlust I posted template functions here:

Yes, that did the trick! Ok, thanks a lot. This used to work with my 
previous release of org-contacts.

I'm still working with Thunderbird although being able to link to mails 
from within org is a strong argument to switch to an emacs-based mailclient.

Cheers and thanks

Well there may be a possibility using org-protocol to pass name and
email, but I didn't use Thunderbird for many years and I have some
doubts that isolating those for a call would be easy.
