Error with backlinks when org-agenda-files is a file containing the agenda files list

[gdindi]

Hi, First of all, thanks for this very useful package. I am very interested by the recent addition of org-sidebar-backlinks for my Zettelkasten implementation. I am experiencing an issue. If I use

(setq org-agenda-files (quote ("~/org/admin.org" ~/org/zettels.org")))

the org-sidebar-backlinks works fine. However, if I do: (setq org-agenda-files "~/org/agenda-files.org")

where "~/org/agenda-files.org" is a file containing the list of my agenda files, I get an error like this:

mapcar: Wrong type argument: stringp, 47

In order to check that there is no problem with other things in my config, I have run this with

emacs -Q -l test-init.el

where test-init.el is

(setq package-enable-at-startup nil)
(package-initialize)
(require 'org)
(require 'ob-tangle)

(require 'org-ql)
(require 'org-sidebar)
(require 'org-ql-view)
(require 'org-ql-search)
(require 'org-super-agenda)
(setq org-agenda-files "~/org/agenda-files.org")

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

Please call the org-agenda-files function rather than using the variable's value directly.

Note also that the underlying functionality for this command is provided by org-ql, not directly by org-sidebar.

Thanks.

Hi, I don't understand your suggestion. Where do I need to call the org-agenda-files function? Thanks again.
