org-publish-validate-link

[Matthew Lundin]

Try as I might, I cannot seem to locate the org-publish-validate-link
function described in the org-mode manual.

http://orgmode.org/manual/Publishing-links.html#Publishing-links

The function is present in older versions of org-publish.el but I
can't find it 6.08c. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Matt Lundin

Yes, I remember this function, but I don't remember why and when it  
got lost.

Can you tell me a release where it ws still present?

org-publish-validate-link

[Thomas S. Dye]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1278 bytes --]

Aloha all,

org-publish-validate-link rejects a valid link to a file when the file  
is created during an editing session.

With ./test.org and ./support/test.pdf present at the start of a  
session, the first link in test.org (below) is validated.  When ./ 
support/test-copy.pdf is added during the session, the second link is  
not validated and only the description of the link is output to  
test.html.

----- test.org
* A test
   - link to [[file:support/test.pdf][test.pdf]]
   - link to [[file:support/test-copy.pdf][test-copy.pdf]]
-----

If org-publish-validate-link is not used, then the link is placed  
correctly in the html output.

I have read the org-mode manual, briefly searched the list archive,  
and read the function's documentation string, but didn't find anything  
that might alert me to this behavior.

My expectation was that org-publish-validate-link would understand the  
org-mode publishing process and would validate links in the production  
environment that were correctly established in the publication location.

I'm using Org-mode version 6.34trans (release_6.34c.89.g0c39) on emacs  
23.

All the best,
Tom

Re: org-publish-validate-link

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi THomas,

org-publish-validate-link validate links to files that show up in the  
list
`org-publish-files-alist'.  THis list contains all file names that are  
considered part of a project and should be published.  It is updated  
each time you issue
a command to publish a project.

Are you sure that you are republishing the document that should  
contain the link?  If that document has not changed, it will not  
republish it, so the ink will also not be fixed.

You can force republishing by calling your publish command with a C-u  
prefix.  Have you tried that?

Hmm, strange that restarting Emacs was required.....

Ah, I see now.  Please pull again.  From now on, when forcing  
publishing with a prefix argument, the validation list will also be  
recreated.

Thanks Carsten,

This eliminates the need for a restart.  It is still the case that the  
link is invalid on the first publication try.  It is valid after force  
publishing, though.

All the best,
Tom

Yes.

The validation function can be supplied by a user - maybe you can come  
up with something that works correctly for your setup and can predict  
the existence of that file, ahead of time.
