This is a continuation from here:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/61552

I thought this was fixed, but something's not functioning correctly. My
main .emacs calls an org file with babel blocks housing my various
configurations. Below are relevant sections:

#+begin_src .emacs
;; set load paths
;; set load dirs and global config options
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/site-lisp/")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/org.git/contrib/lisp/")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/org.git/lisp/")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/site-lisp/ess/lisp/")

;; setup babel languages
(org-babel-do-load-languages
 'org-babel-load-languages
 '((latex . t)
   (emacs-lisp . t)
   (org . t)
   (R . t)
   (sh . t)
   (python .t )))

;; load org-based config
(org-babel-load-file "~/org/aux/emacs-config.org")
#+end_src

#+begin_src ~/org/aux/emacs-config.org
Load orgmode modules:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(require 'org-id)

;; use unique ids for links
(setq org-link-to-org-use-id "create-if-interactive")
#+end_src

Any reason this shouldn't create a unique ID when I do =C-c l= on a
headline? I thought it was working as you can see from the followup to the
thread above. Now, with the same settings, it's not working again.


Thanks for any suggestions,
John

This should be

  (setq org-link-to-org-use-id 'create-if-interactive)

If you copied this from a page, please let the author know!

Grrr. I bet I know what happened -- I used =M-x customize-variable= to try
the setting, it worked, and then I added it to .emacs since I don't like
the jumbled customizations at the end of my config. Being an elisp newb, I
entered the value as a string instead of with the single tick as you posted.

Thanks for the response to my user error!

org-store-link and org-link-to-org-use-id issue

[John Hendy]

Hi,


I have the following in .emacs:

(setq org-link-to-org-use-id "create-if-interactive")

When I navigate to a headline and do =C-c l=, a unique ID is not
created for that headline. Am I misunderstanding the
'create-if-interactive' setting for this variable? It reads as though
if I call =org-store-link= manually, a unique ID will be created. I've
tried both =C-c l= and =M-x org-store-link=. Neither produces the ID.

As a side note, is there completion for links? This would be even
better for me than using =C-c l=. I'd like to just do =C-c l file: RET
~/org/filename.org/ TAB for headline names... etc.=

Something similar to interactive refiling would be fantastic for
links. Does this exist?


Thanks,
John

Disregard... missed the bit about having org-id in loaded  modules for
all of this to work. Everything's now fine.

Sorry for the noise,
John
