[Orgmode] Update of orgmode broke my setup

[Detlef Steuer]

Hi,

after upgrading my orgmode installation I get:
----------
An error has occurred while loading `/home/steuer/.emacs':

Symbol's value as variable is void: org-agenda-mode-map

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.
---------

I'm using a setup followig Wiegley
http://www.newartisans.com/blog_files/org.mode.day.planner.php

The effect is, that agenda commands like C-a a don't work any more.

Ok, it must be simple, but I can't find it at the moment.
Any hint?

Could you add details of your setup? Emacs version, previous and
new versions of Org, using git or release versions etc.

git before update some 6.04
git after 6.05c and todays git pull .

I just updated from git repo, no issues here (WinXP, Emacs22.2,
Org at commit 9919ff82a0f2952d6f36e13f242e6c23d96da14c). It may
not resolve your error but you may consider the suggestion below.

==> (define-key org-agenda-mode-map "\C-n" 'next-line)
gives error

I think an (easier and cleaner, I think) alternate way to achieve
this would be something like this:

(setq org-use-fast-todo-selection t)
(setq org-todo-keywords
'((sequence "TODO(t)"
"STARTED(s)"
"WAITING(w)"
"DELEGATED(l)" "|"
"DONE(d)"
"DEFERRED(f)")))

Fast selection shortcuts this way can also record the time of
state change and/or take a note at the time of switching states.

It's probably because org-agenda-mode-map is not defined in org.el but in org-agenda.el
so you'll need to split the eval-after-load into two pieces:

(eval-after-load "org"
'(progn
(add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("py" . emacs))

(define-prefix-command 'org-todo-state-map)
(define-key org-mode-map "\C-cx" 'org-todo-state-map)
(define-key org-todo-state-map "x"
#'(lambda nil (interactive) (org-todo "CANCELLED")))
etc. etc.
)

and


(eval-after-load "org-agenda"
'(progn
(define-key org-agenda-mode-map "\C-n" 'next-line)
etc. etc.
)

Thank you all for the help!

It's astonishing how great tools and great communities coincide.

Yes. The agenda mode map is not known before org-agenda is loaded.
You need to wrap this into eval-after-load "org-agenda", of do this in
org-agenda-mode-hook.

Out of curiousity, I wonder why should OP see the error now on
upgrading from 6.04 to HEAD? I think Org was split into multiple
files quite a while ago.

No idea.
