I would like to use md-roam as connector to Org-roam, so that I can use it to index all the conversions with ai.com.

I installed md-roam with following setup:

(require 'org-roam)
(setq org-roam-directory (file-truename "path/to/org-roam-directory")) 
;; file-truename is optional; it seems required when you use symbolic
;; links, which Org-roam does not resolve
(setq org-roam-file-extensions '("org" "md")) ; enable Org-roam for a markdown extension
(add-to-list 'load-path "path/to/md-roam") ; installation as above
(require 'md-roam)
(md-roam-mode 1) ; md-roam-mode must be active before org-roam-db-sync
(setq md-roam-file-extension "md") ; default "md". Specify an extension such as "markdown"
(org-roam-db-autosync-mode 1) ; autosync-mode triggers db-sync. md-roam-mode must be already active

Then force change the font matter as:

Nothing happens, the file name is like: 2023-03-05-12-33-51-emacs-chatgpt-arcana-chat-mode-introduction-and-description.chatgpt-arcana.md, so maybe that is the issue?

Do you have any suggestions on how mark-down file should be called and store? The file is generated in this snippet:

You need a yaml frontmatter on top of the file. The first line must be “---“ (three hyphens). And close the front matter with “---“ (three hyphens).

Thanks for sharing it.

After adding this info, I still can not find it via org-roam-node-find. Here's how I do it:

1. Turn off org-roam-db-autosync-mode
2. Switch to 2023-03-05-12-33-51-emacs-chatgpt-arcana-chat-mode-introduction-and-description.chatgpt-arcana.md
3. Modify the buffer and save the change.
4. M-x org-roam-node-find
5. There is no Guide to Markdown Mode for Emacs

• Turn off org-roam-db-autosync-mode
• Switch to 2023-03-05-12-33-51-emacs-chatgpt-arcana-chat-mode-introduction-and-description.chatgpt-arcana.md
• Modify the buffer and save the change.

Kill the markdown buffer first. org-roam-db-autosync-mode adds find-file hook for the function to register the current node into the database. If the buffer is already open, no matter what you do to it won’t go into the database. Therefore, combined with md-roam, the sequence must be like this:

1. Ensure the markdown buffer (note) is not open. If it is, kill it
2. Activate md-roam-mode
3. Activate org-roam-db-autosunc-mode
4. Find-file and open the markdown buffer (this way, find-file hook adds some functions to after-save-hook — have a look)
5. Modify the markdown buffer and save
