Re: [Orgmode] Ticket Management integration, muse mode, etc

[David Thole]

Thank you to the both of you for responding so quickly.

Basically the reasoning why I' doing all this is to try and take more detailed notes on stuff that maybe the end user should not see in the ticket - which right now I kinda have to do.  I still want to capture this information, so muse-mode kinda made partial sense for documentation needs.   The goal again is really to have my own "private notes" in the end.

Matthew hit it right on the head about what I was trying to do - and that's using the file.  I apologize for my newbieness with org-mode (I admit while I've used it awhile, I never really scratched much more than the bare surface of this extension), and yes the following would work perfectly fine.  The only problem is that a lot of my stuff is automatically generated in one of the files - so keeping notes in the same file complicate matters a bit when it comes to my matching those notes in regard to the next entry.

I don't know if I'm being clear about what I'm bringing up, but Matt's post really helped in explaining how to get by with what I feel I need now - but I think I'll need to spend some time and reconsider all this.

Thanks,

David

Why doesn't the following work for you?

,----
| *** [[file:/path/to/muse/Issue1000][Issue1000]]
`----

You can type C-u C-c C-l within org for a prompt to link to a file.

Or you can type C-c l in the Muse file to store the link and C-c C-l
<up> in org-mode to insert the link.

The manual has a very clear section on hyperlinks.

That said, is there a compelling reason for you to keep your notes in
muse rather than org-mode? Org-mode was created to handle both
ticket/task management and note taking in the same file. You could
keep all the relevant notes (and any data pairs as properties) under
each issue headline. E.g.

,----
| *** TODO Issue 1000
|
| Notes and subheadings go here.
`----

Feel free to let me know if I am misunderstanding the nature of the
problem.

Best,
Matt
