Hi -- I'm a simple guy, not a coder, and only a little emacs-savvy. However, this post might save some people some frustration. (And it might prompt someone more emacs-savvy than I to teach me something.)
I faced a challenge getting org-protocol to work. I'm running the latest org-mode from git on a Fedora 10 box. Emacs version 22.3.1. I set up for org-protocol in emacs and in firefox (following the instructions at http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.php). Then when I tried to execute the org-protocol-remember handler, emacs pitched back this error message: *** error in process filter: symbol's function definition is void: server-delete-client *** I looked in server.el, and didn't find server-delete-client defined there. I found a copy of server.el for emacs 23 online at http://zchan.homeunix.net/pub/Nevada.APP/Build/emacs-23.0.60/lisp/server.el/server. It includes this definition of server-delete-client: *** (defun server-delete-client (proc &optional noframe) "Delete CLIENT, including its buffers, terminals and frames. If NOFRAME is non-nil, let the frames live. (To be used from `delete-frame-functions'.)" (server-log (concat "server-delete-client" (if noframe " noframe")) proc) ;; Force a new lookup of client (prevents infinite recursion). (when (memq proc server-clients) (let ((buffers (process-get proc 'buffers))) ;; Kill the client's buffers. (dolist (buf buffers) (when (buffer-live-p buf) (with-current-buffer buf ;; Kill the buffer if necessary. (when (and (equal server-buffer-clients (list proc)) (or (and server-kill-new-buffers (not server-existing-buffer)) (server-temp-file-p)) (not (buffer-modified-p))) (let (flag) (unwind-protect (progn (setq server-buffer-clients nil) (kill-buffer (current-buffer)) (setq flag t)) (unless flag ;; Restore clients if user pressed C-g in `kill-buffer'. (setq server-buffer-clients (list proc))))))))) ;; Delete the client's frames. (unless noframe (dolist (frame (frame-list)) (when (and (frame-live-p frame) (equal proc (frame-parameter frame 'client))) ;; Prevent `server-handle-delete-frame' from calling us ;; recursively. (set-frame-parameter frame 'client nil) (delete-frame frame)))) (setq server-clients (delq proc server-clients)) ;; Delete the client's tty. (let ((terminal (process-get proc 'terminal))) ;; Only delete the terminal if it is non-nil. (when (and terminal (eq (terminal-live-p terminal) t)) (delete-terminal terminal))) ;; Delete the client's process. (if (eq (process-status proc) 'open) (delete-process proc)) (server-log "Deleted" proc)))) *** When I add this definition to my config files and reload, then org-protocol-remember works as expected. Surely there are still others using emacs 22.3? Is there another way around this (short of upgrading to emacs 23 -- I might do that, but I'm so swamped with other things right now and I know so little about what I'm doing that I don't want to move on that yet)? -- John Rakestraw _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
