Capture template 'C': nil

Capture template 'C': nil

Hello,

I'm having a problem with a capture template called from org-protocol,
both with old and new style links.

Here is the template

  ("C" "capture CWN through org protocol" item (file "next-cwn.org")
   "- %?%:description\n  %:link\n\n")

When I use it on a page, it directly adds the entry to the file, without
going through the capture interface, and it adds an extra %? in the
text. For instance, using it on http://orgmode.org/ I get

- %?Org mode for Emacs – Your Life in Plain Text
  http://orgmode.org/

In the *Messages* buffer I see this:

Greedy org-protocol handler.  Killing client.
No server editing buffers exist
Capture template ‘C’: nil

Is this a bug, or a misconfiguration on my side?

Thanks,

Alan

Try to use ‘entry’ instead of ‘item’

 ("C" "capture CWN through org protocol" entry (file "next-cwn.org")
  "- %?%:description\n  %:link\n\n")

“C” is usually bound to “Customise org-capture-templates”. Probably it’s better to choose another key.

In the next step you will probably get an error:  org-capture: Capture template ‘i’: Template is not a valid Org entry or tree

To avoid that make the entry a tree:

 (“c" "capture CWN through org protocol" entry (file "next-cwn.org")
  “* %?%:description\n  %:link\n\n")

Unfortunately I need an item. It used to work, unfortunately it no
longer does.

Thank you for the suggestion. I changed it and it did not fix it.

Best,

Alan

I was probably to quick by changing ‘item’ to ‘entry’.

I tried your template once again. And it turned out that the file must be existent.

	    ("c" "capture CWN through org protocol" item (file "~/org/notes.org")
	    "- %?%:description\n  %:link\n\n")

Does work for me. So giving a path to file might help.

That was caused by using “C”, wasn’t it?

Kind regards
Mario

Thank you for testing. There is another thread where someone has the
same problem. It seems that for item templates one has to give the full
path.
