Hi I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction
because one of my Org capture templates, that I use to feed questions to
myself (for later use with org-drill) just broke with the most recent
bzr pull of emacs.
Now, when I try to use the capture template, I only get this header in
my target org file.
** Invalid capture template
I'm on the 24.0.92.1 version of emacs which ships with Org 7.8.03.
Here's the template, which I stole from:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-drill.html
(add-to-list 'org-capture-templates
'
("W"
"Capture web snippet"
entry
(file+headline "~/git/org/learn-emacs.org" "Emacs mastery")
,(concat "* Fact: '%:description' :"
(format "%s" org-drill-question-tag)
":\n:PROPERTIES:\n:DATE_ADDED: %u\n:SOURCE_URL:
%c\n:END:\n\n%i\n%?\n")
:empty-lines 1
:immediate-finish t))
Is there any obvious reason this template would break?
I know I could read the capture documentation further but I don't have a
few hours to spend on this right now (plus I'm extremely beginner with
lisp). But I'm pretty sure it just broke with a recent pull of emacs
without me changing any other settings.
Thanks for any help,
Damon
p.s. Here's the complete config that I used to try to debug the problem.
(require 'org-install)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\|txt\\)$" .
org-mode))

(global-set-key "\C-cb" 'org-iswitchb)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c r") 'org-capture)

and org-protocol
(setq org-capture-templates

Probably not - see below.

You are quoting the entry but including a , before the concat. That
indicates that instead of the quote ', you need to use a backquote ` to
allow the comma to evaluate the (concat ...) expression at definition
time.
I checked the webpage you refer to and there is a backquote there, so I
can only surmise that you changed it by mistake recently.

Thanks Nick.
You're probably right that I changed it some time ago and thought it was
working, but it wasn't.
Glad to have it working again.
