I have template with dynamically filename via variables, when i use it in beorg app it works, but not when i send x-callback from ios shortcuts app. Looks like variables escaping, see screenshot.
Thanks for reporting this. I’ve made a note to look into what is happening here.
This still appears to be an issue with url callback. The variables in filenames work just fine internally when using a template. For instance it will add a task to the file with this name: “Daily 2023-10-07”
When using a callback link the task is imported to a file with this name (using the same template): “Daily %year%-%month%-%day%”
If you can show a screenshot with the callback URL you’ve configured your shortcut with I’ll take a look at this.
Any update on this issue? Thanks!
If I can see a screenshot (or the text) of a callback URL where this isn’t working I’ll take a look at this issue. It is probably a quoting issue - i.e. the URL will possibly need some quoting in the query parameters.
I am not sure exactly what you need, but do these help?
Thank you for sending the screenshots. I’ve been able to replicate this and hopefully have a fix. I to have an update to beorg out in the next week with this in.
That’s awesome. In the meantime, I think I found another possible solution (which seems to work so far). Instead of approaching the problem by trying to get template variables to expand, I went back to the shortcut to see if I could get it to do what I wanted, which is basically neatly capture text from safari into an org-roam journal file. See attached.
If you were able to fix the template problem, then I guess I am on the fence as to which is the better approach. Thoughts?
I should mention also that the first time, I formatted the date for the TITLE variable as yyyy-MM-dd, and the second time I formatted the date for the FILENAME as yyyy_MM_dd, which seems to conform to the formats used in org-roam and Logseq (which is a nice complement to Beorg on the iPhone because it is a pretty good org-roam analog). Both work for me for different tasks. However, capturing through Beorg results in cleaner entries.
