org-journal-mode files not in 'org-mode' about org-journal HOT 6 CLOSED

this has again raised it's head. Using spacemacs and have eval-after-load of org-journal then load the agenda-file regexp and still receive the file is not in org mode. is there a way to put the header info in the file or another regex add-to list?

Just to see if it would work, I changed this in org-journal.el

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist
             (cons (concat (file-truename org-journal-dir)
                           org-journal-file-pattern)
                   'org-journal-mode))

to add the journal files in org-mode instead of org-journal-mode. That made the agenda work, but obviously lost the org-journal features, so I changed it back to org-journal-mode and now the files load in org-journal-mode and they work with the agenda. Weird.

org-journal-mode is derived from org-mode, so it should support all the features from org-mode. This might be an issue with the initialization order.

Yeah, I'm not sure what happened or why changing and reverting that one line fixed it. It's okay with me if you want to close this. I don't see any way of replicating the behavior now.

A quick note three years later...

For me, the configuration at top works better if the last line is modified to be

(setq org-agenda-file-regexp "\\`[^.].*\\.org\\'\\|\\`[0-9]+\\'")

which I think matches all filenames that ends with .org and all filenames that consists only of numbers. The version above seems to match all filenames containing numbers.

If I'm not mistaken, this is what the README recommends as of 4876bbc (two months ago). There have been many iterations on this regex, and I still don't quite understand why some permutations work better than others despite being seemingly identical.
