[Vimoutliner] Re: My VO does not work anymore

[Stefan Hassenstein]

Hi ! 

Listen to Steve Litt - he is the absolute pro 
at this topic.

>From my point of view, your :version-text confirms,
that you are using at least vim 7.1 - 
as you use Ubuntu, there might be the same root
of problems you (and i) run into (upgrade on Debian from vim6.somthing 
to vim71)

Meaning, vim 7.1 introduced some new path structure.

1. search for your vimrc
mine is located in /etc/vim/vimrc

this is debian-specific and loads a runtimepath, 
i show you mine: 
	"set
	runtimepath=~/.vim,/var/lib/vim/addons,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,\
	/usr/share/vim/addons,\
	/usr/share/vim/vim71,\
	usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after,/var/lib/vim/addons/after,~/.vim/after"

originally without "
linebreaks done by myself.

2. Search for  and compare your runtimepath.

3. Search your /usr/share/vim root for "vo_base.vim", 
it should still be located in /usr/share/vim/addons
and is crucial for VimOutliner as Steve Litt pointed out.
on my system there are 3 vo_base.vim files

	/usr/share/vim/addons/ftplugin/vo_base.vim
	/usr/share/vim/addons/ftdetect/vo_base.vim
	/usr/share/vim/addons/syntax/vo_base.vim

if you do not have these files you should install VimOutliner from 
the scratch. (but might not expect that its working without any handmade
changes...)

4. i copied /usr/share/vim/addons/syntax/vo_base.vim
   to /usr/share/vim/vim71/syntax/vo_base.vim

5. and /usr/share/vim/addons/ftplugin/vo_base.vim 
   to /usr/share/vim/vim71/ftplugin/vo_base.vim


6. I had to copy and paste the code from 
   /usr/share/vim/addons/ftdetect/vo_base.vim
   into the new file 
   /usr/share/vim/vim71/filetype.vim 
   (alphabetically sorted)

   " Viminfo file
   au BufNewFile,BufRead .viminfo,_viminfo         setf viminfo

   " VimOutliner file
   " am 26.11.07 - 
   " stefan
   au BufRead,BufNewFile *.otl          setf vo_base

   " Virata Config Script File
   au BufRead,BufNewFile *.hw,*.module,*.pkg       setf virata

7. had to copy the other vo_* files 
    vo_checkbox.vim
    vo_hoist.vim
    from /usr/share/vim/addons/ftplugin
    to /usr/share/vim/vim71/ftplugin/

8. make sure that vimoutlinerc exist in /etc/vim/



with these changes, 
a. help to VimOutline was accessible again
b. .otl files in vim are handled as expected
c. no try until now to gvim.

Your mileage may vary ! 

i bet there are quite better ways to accomplish the goal, 
so please no flames - just stepped into the discussion, 
coz it seems to be a coincidence of problems.

Greetings 
and many thanks to Steve ! 

Stefan
