Re: [O] Multiple capture templates in file

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

add-to-list works fine for me, like this: (taken straight of my emacs.org file)

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

 (add-to-list 'org-capture-templates '("J" "log job or activity to date tree for UE application"

                                         (file+datetree "~/Dropbox/orgzly/jobs.org")

                                       "* %^{Company or activity} %^{Job}

  - Direct Contact:%^{y/n}

  - Resume submitted:%^{y/n}

  - Result:%^{[h]ired/[n]ot hired/[i]nterview}

  %?"

  :prepend t :immediate-finish)

  )

#+END_SRC

How could anyone tell if you don't show your attempt?

What about this?

WorkProj1Templates.el:

#v+
(push '("1" "Todo" entry
        (file+headline
         (concat org-directory "/WorkProj1.org")
         "Tasks")
        "* TODO %?")
      org-capture-templates)
#v-
