Capture template to capture in current buffer

Capture template to capture in current buffer

Hi

I am trying to get an in-buffer logging to work. I want to log some
changes in the file and I am using the following template, which was
working some (longer?) time ago:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-capture-templates
      `(
        ;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;::
        ;; In File Logging ::
        ;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;::
        ("c"   "Changes to be logged in buffer"    
         entry   (file+headline (buffer-file-name) "CHANGES Log")   
         "* %^{Header of CHANGES item}\nLOGGED: %T \n- link     :: %a \n- author   :: Rainer M Krug, email: Rainer@krugs.de\n %?")
        ))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But now I get the following error message when using the capture
template:

,----
| if: Target buffer ".notes" for file+headline should be in Org mode
`----

Any suggestions on how I can get this to work?

Thanks,

Rainer

Is it only me who want's to do this, or is this working for everybody else?

I would like to do this but it doesn't work for me either.  What appears
to be happening is that org captures the note to the default notes file,
org-default-notes-file.  This defaults to ~/.notes.  It doesn't capture
to the buffer-file-name.

This looks like a bug to me.

Exactly the same here - thanks for confirming.

I had a similar problem. Have a look at: 
https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/5b3mtr/orgmode_capture_template_issue_after_updating_to/

I fixed my problem by:

("c"
    "New blog post (cycling.ianbarton.net)"
    plain
    (file (lambda() (capture-pelican-draft-file  
"~/Documents/emacs/web_sites/cycling.ianbarton.net/org/_posts")))
    "#+AUTHOR: Ian Barton\n#+DATE: %u\n#+PROPERTY: MODIFIED: 
\n#+TITLE\n#+CATEGORY: Blog \n#+PROPERTY: TAGS \n#+PROPERTY: SUMMARY 
\n")

capture-pelican-draft-file is a function that gets the file name.

So

           entry   (file+headline (lambda() buffer-file-name)) "CHANGES 
Log")
           "* %^{Header of CHANGES item}\nLOGGED: %T \n- link     :: %a
  \n- author   :: Rainer M Krug, email: Rainer@krugs.de\n %?")

may fix your problem (not tested).

Ian.

It should work again in latest Org ELPA.

In Org 9.1, you will need to change it to 

  (file+headline (lambda () (buffer-file-name) ...))

Thanks - upgraded to newest master from git and used the syntax you
gave - works perfectly.

Thanks,
