Subject: bug#13396: 24.2; org-agenda-include-diary doesn't work while using diary-file-name-prefix and diary-file-name-prefix-function elsewhere / FIX included
Date: Wed, 09 Jan 2013 11:17:31 +0100

To reproduce the bug:

Start with:
emacs -Q.

The contents of my "~/diary" is the single line:
*/*/* Dummy-Entry

In *scratch* - buffer evalute:

(setq org-agenda-include-diary t)
(setq diary-file-name-prefix t)

(setq diary-file-name-prefix-function
      (lambda (strng) 
        (format "%1.1s"
		(capitalize
		 (file-name-nondirectory strng)))))

(org-agenda)

Now hit the key 'a'.

This SHOULD have resulted in the display of the agenda-buffer with
matching diary-entries included.

INSTEAD I get the following error-message in the minibuffer:

Symbol's function definition is void: nil

And the *Messages* - buffer says:
Preparing diary...
diary-add-to-list: Symbol's function definition is void: nil

--- END of Bug-Description ---

I found the following FIX of this unexpected behaviour:

In function `org-get-entries-from-diary' of file `PATH_TO_EMACS/lisp/org/org-agenda.el'
replace the line

(diary-file-name-prefix-function nil) ; turn this feature off

by the line

(diary-file-name-prefix nil) ; turn this feature off

After this change (and recompilation-of course) I could not observe the unexpected behaviour anymore.

COMMENT: (setq diary-file-name-prefix t)  is not used by org-mode by its own, 
but it's needed if one wants to use a diary-file-name-prefix-function in the stand-alone version of the diary file when used by calendar.

In my opinion the bug is caused by the fact, that the function
`diary-add-to-list' checks the flag `diary-file-name-prefix' not `diary-file-name-prefix-function'!

I'm SENDING this report with emacs-version 23.1 as my mail-setup with gnus is rather lengthy
an I didn't want to interfere this with the reproduction of the bug.
The bug report was GENERATED within emacs-24.2.
