FYI org-journal support has been merged into the org layer in the develop branch of spacemacs

If your using the develop branch in spacemacs you can enable org-journal and configure it:

Thanks. I will consider updating README when it come to release.

Hello, I like what you've done with org-journal @borgnix. But searching the journal does not work for me.

Do you have any guesses for how long it will take for the org-journal changes that are described in the develop branch cited above? It appears that searching works on the develop branch.

[ruibinx]

@willtm Have you tried updating org-journal package? I noticed that the org-journal package recently released a fix which might help.

[willtm]

@borgnix thank you for responding so quickly! I am now able to search after installing the latest version of org-journal ( Version: 20170928.231) and spacemacs-journal. And is it turns out, I made a thoughtless error by failing to install org-journal in my earlier attempt and just installing spacemacs-journal.

@willtm Glad to know it works.

First of all, I was unable to get this to work. I clone the branch and initialized, per the instruction; but it won't work. It kept on saying SPC a j is undefined. Does the native org-journal in spacemacs use the same keybindings as does this one? With the native setup, I can create a new entry with C-c C-j but I would like to use the keybindings you defined here. Any suggestions?

No it doesn't built in org-journal is SPC-a-o-j or the mnemonic Leader application org journal

Is it possible to use these same keybindings while on develop branch? I want to use the same keybindings and but have not been successful while on develop branch.

[nickanderson]

Yes, those are what is currently on the develop branch. The spacemacs readme says .300 is "almost out" https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/blob/develop/core/info/release-notes/0.300.txt

@x61 you don't need this layer any more if you are on develop branch, and please read https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/blob/develop/layers/%2Bemacs/org/README.org#org-journal since the keybindings are slightly different.

[x61]

@borgnix, is it possible to have the same keybindings even when you develop branch? If so, how do I do it? Or is it possible to add the layer even when on develop branch? Muscle memory.
