INCLUDING Blog Posts

[geekinthesticks]

I want to port my Jekyll powered bog to o-blog. I have a lot of posts, one file for post. I would like to avoid placing them in one big file, as I think it would probably end up growing too big to be manageable.

I was hoping to INCLUDE each file:

+INCLUDE: "./posts/2012-09-06-sea-to-summit-xmug.org"

File contains:

\ DONE Sea to Summit X-Mug. :o@blog: CLOSED: [2012-10-18 Thu]

I managed to crack my plastic mug and was about to buy another one when I decided to investigate the alternatives. I don't like metal mugs of any sort. I end up burning my finger and lips whenever I use

However, it appears that the TODO header doesn't get processed. If I do it like this in the sample.org file:

\ DONE Sea to Summit X-Mug. :o@blog: CLOSED: [2012-10-18 Thu]

+INCLUDE: "./posts/2012-09-06-sea-to-summit-xmug.org"

Where the include just contains the body text it works. I guess I can live with having all the headers and just including the body text, but is it possible to get o-blog to process the DONE section in an included file?

Currently the #+include: file does not work. But writing a piece of code to include the raw content of file could be easily done.

A quick look shows up the org-export-expand-include-keyword would help.

I leave the post open since I won't be available for a couple of weeks.

Can you please try to apply that patch:

diff --git a/o-blog.el b/o-blog.el

Thanks that doesn't work. I have had a look at org-exp.el and it looks as though using org-export-handle-include-files should work, but it doesn't. My elisp skills are very basic, so I am not sure why it isn't working.

Ok I do not have any free time this week. I would be able to have a look at beginning of November to fix this.

Cheers.

Thank you, meanwhile I'll see if I can fix it myself.

A bit of progress - the following:

(defun org-publish-blog-sync (file) "Publish FILE synchronously." (with-current-buffer (or (get-file-buffer file) (find-file file)) (org-export-handle-include-files)

(run-hooks 'o-blog-before-publish-hook)

does correctly include all INCLUDE files, but the full included text ends up in sample.org. I guess I need to try and modify it so it creates a temp file, with all the inclusions then uses the temp file for the export.

Any progress? I have asked the question in the org mailing list about this. It doesn't feel like the intended behaviour.

Message copy/pasted below:

In the current buffer, org-export-handle-include-file overwrites:

+INCLUDE: "./some-other-file.org"

with contents of the other file. For example,

+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

• other file header :PROPERTIES: :OTHER_PROPS: yes :END:

Contents of the other file.

+END_EXAMPLE

Is this the intended behaviour? Is there a method where you can use #+INCLUDE without overwriting the current buffer?

Can this solve in o-blog v2 ?

[renard]

The aim of V2 is to allow user to organize their files as they want. Thus this might be possible. For the moment V2 is in a big early stage.

isnt this fixed now? I use #INCLUDE all the time!
