[O] using Org-player with Org-drill

2014-05-02 Thread Todd Neufeld
I posted the following at gmane.emacs.help but afterwards realized this
might be the more appropriate forum.  Please excuse the double post:

Hi all.
 
I'm relatively new to emacs, and I don't have a computer programming
background.

For purposes of learning a language, I want to use Org-player within an
Org-drill session.  I believe I have both of those programs working fine
independently.  But, the problem arises that when in an Org-drill
session the user is unable to control the cursor, preventing me in this
case from accessing the audio file I'd like to play and checking my
pronunciation of the given word.  Clicking on the link with the mouse,
which of course wouldn't be ideal anyway, has no effect.

Please let me know if anyone has an idea of how to make a change,
presumably with Org-drill, to enable this type of use. 

Thanks,

todd




Re: [O] Org-mode c-c a

Ha, never mind.
After several hours of work, I finally figured out my configuration file
was being saved as #.emacs #  always.
Once I changed it to .emacs it seems to have kicked in.

Sorry for the bother.

Possibly more information on how to get started with the configuration 
file might be useful,

but maybe it's just me.

Happy holidays and new year,

todd

Hi.

I apologize for the very very beginner question, but..
I can't figure out how to get c-c a defined in org-mode.

I am using emacs 24.3 on Ubuntu 12.04.

I believe I have updated the emacs configuration file with
(global-set-key \C-ca 'org-agenda)

Yet, somehow I only get  c-c a is undefined when I enter that command.
I have my emacs configuration file in my home folder, not in an emacs 
buffer.

Not sure if that's right...
Though I think that's not the problem as other commands in the file 
seem to take effect.


Anyway, any help would be MUCH appreciated, as I'm enthusiastic to get 
going with org-mode.


So, happy holidays, and many thanks !

[O] Org-drill installation

2013-12-28 Thread Todd Neufeld
Hi all.

I am very new to Emacs and Org-mode,
but am really enjoying it so far.

I am having trouble installing org-drill,
or at least running it.

I have followed the directions of checking off the drill box in the
customize variables - org module, as directed from the worg page.
And I have made sure it was saved.

It seems, to my beginner's eyes, to be in my .emacs file.
But when I go to run spanish,org I get [No match] or at first a message
Wrong type argument: commandp, org-id-get-with-outline-drilling.

I have been trying to install org-drill manually, but have been unsuccessful.

Any help would be much appreciated, and thanks for indulgence with a very
beginner question/ situation.

todd

 I suggest you try using a more recent version

Bastien,

I downloaded a more recent version from Git.
It took me some time to set up the load-path correctly...
But I got it eventually and Org-drill now works for me.

Thanks very much !
