Hi guys

I was wondering if anyone uses helm for refiling org capture data. and if
so can anyone share his methods/setup?

googling for it didnt yield to many results (especially for people like me
who dont know to code :))

thx

Hello,

I switched from ido to helm around last christmas and it is hard to retrain
my fingers and habbits...

Here is, what I'm doing with refiling with helm:

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp

  (defun helm-refile-completing-read (orig-func prompt collection &optional predicate require-match
                                                initial-input hist def inherit-input-method)
    "Completing function for org-refile"
    (helm-completing-read-default-1
     prompt collection predicate require-match
     initial-input hist def inherit-input-method
     "org-refile" nil t)
    )

  (advice-add 'org-olpath-completing-read :around #'helm-refile-completing-read)

#+END_SRC

With kind regards,
Stefan

I tried using the patch mentioned in
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/87651. However, I
encountered some problems. The main one was that completion wasn't
showing all possible targets. I went back to using ido for
refile. However, I wold be interested if someone has got this to work.

Best wishes,

Ian.

Are you sure the advice is necessary?  If either
org-refile-use-outline-path (as above) or
org-outline-path-complete-in-steps is nil, it doesn't seem that
org-olpath-completing-read will be called.  The relevant part of
org-refile-get-location (master, f8731ea) is

    (cfunc (if (and org-refile-use-outline-path
                    org-outline-path-complete-in-steps)
               'org-olpath-completing-read
             'org-icompleting-read))

Then, if org-completion-use-ido and org-completion-use-iswitchb are nil,
org-icompleting-read will use completing-read, which helm-mode should be
able to override.

So, given the default values, I think the only setup needed to get
generic helm completion is

    (setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil)

    (require 'helm)
    (require 'helm-config)
    (helm-mode 1)

However, I'm not an experienced helm user, so perhaps others are
noticing issues that I'm not.

I found that changing the default refiling targets made refiling useful for me. 

By default, only first level headings show up. 

I have a customized config so that all my org files show up: 



(setq myvar/org-dir "~/git/LeoUfimtsev.github.io/org/") 

(setq myvar/org-files (file-expand-wildcards (concat myvar/org-dir "*.org"))) 
...customize..: 


'(org-refile-targets 
(quote 
((org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 10) 
(nil :maxlevel . 10) 
(myvar/org-files :maxlevel . 10)))) 







My notes are somewhat cryptic, but here is a link if of use:

Yes, you are right. I tested it and it worked.

thank you all, most of the code here was overkill for me (im very
un-technical :)) but i found the last bit of code:
>     (setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil)
>
>     (require 'helm)
>     (require 'helm-config)
>     (helm-mode 1)

to work great for me

the only problem remaining is that it seems it does not give me refile
option for all my agenda files just a few (which i cant understand why it
chooses these). i have this in my refile config:

(setq org-goto-max-level 10)

also i have this in my config

(setq org-agenda-files '("~/org/files/agenda/"))

what am i missing here?

thx alot!

Hello Xebar, 

I had the same issue. I used the file-expand-wildcards function to make a list of all my org-mode files. 

The only thing is that I have to reload my .emacs when adding org files for refile to work properly. 



(setq myvar/org-dir "~/git/LeoUfimtsev.github.io/org/") 

(setq myvar/org-files (file-expand-wildcards (concat myvar/org-dir "*.org"))) 
...customize..: 


'(org-refile-targets 
(quote 
((org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 10) 
(nil :maxlevel . 10) 
(myvar/org-files :maxlevel . 10))))

You shouldn't need to do that; once you've added a new Org file, 
you can just move point to the end of the `(setq myvar/org-files 
...` s-expression, and press C-x C-e (`eval-last-sexp`). That 
should cause the `setq` to be re-evaluated, such that the new file 
becomes part of the value of the `myvar/org-files` variable.
