[doom] load order

Hi there!

How can I guarantee the load order in doom? Should I require md-roam in org-roam's after! Or use-package! call? I'm using the +roam flag and installing md-roam as per your instructions but I can't create md files nor see existing one in the default org-roam-directory.

I don't use +roam flag, and I defer org-roam -- I prefer to manually call M-x org-roam when I want to.
With this, I have the following in my config.el for Doom. By not having defer:, or command:, I can load md-load md-roam immediately....

If you have a need to load org-roam immediately, perhaps you can do (load-file) in custom: part of (use-package org-roam), perhaps? We (you and I) might need to dig deeper if that's the timing of your loading Org-roam.

(use-package! md-roam ; load immediately, before org-roam
:config
(setq md-roam-file-extension-single "md")
(setq md-roam-use-org-extract-ref nil)
(setq md-roam-use-org-file-links t)

;; The following Org-roam variables may interfere with Md-roam
(setq org-roam-enable-fuzzy-links t)
(setq org-roam-auto-replace-fuzzy-links nil))

Additional question. Do you see "Md-roam is active" message in the echo area when you build Org-roam DB cache?

If so... Md-roam is probably loaded correctly, but perhaps you would need to add some more variables in your config for Org-roam to recognise and extract markdown files...

These:

(setq md-roam-file-extension-single "md") 
  ;set your markdown extension
  ;you can omit this if md, which is the default.

(setq org-roam-title-sources '((mdtitle title mdheadline headline) (mdalias alias)))
  ;you need this as of commit `5f24103`.

(setq org-roam-file-extensions '("org" "md"))

Thanks for the help!

Yes. I've continued tweaking and got it to work or at least it seems. Need to explain that now I've set org-roam and md-roam to use a separate db and folder where I want only md files.

I do see the message when I build the db but nothing else seems to work. Trying to create a note fails with an error about the capture string (which is the same of course and works in org-roam. Also side bar is empty (no header) when I open an md file manually or using org-roam-find-file.

I'll upload my current config using .dir-locals a little bit later when I'm home.

Thanks!

I'm guessing this is no longer an issue. If it still is, please reopen.
