[emacs-wiki-discuss] setq instead of custom-set-variables

[TC]

At the moment, in my .emacs I have some stuff like the following:

(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste
it!
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 '(emacs-wiki-journal-default-category "CategoryPersonal")
 '(emacs-wiki-journal-project "BlogWiki")
 '(emacs-wiki-journal-publishing-directory "~/public_html/blogwiki")

and so on.

But, I'd rather move it out of .emacs, into a separate
emacs-wiki-init.el file, and switch from using customize to simply
direct control of the variables in question - a la:

(setq emacs-wiki-journal-default-category     "CategoryPersonal")
(setq emacs-wiki-journal-project              "BlogWiki")
(setq emacs-wiki-journal-publishing-directory "~/public_html/blogwiki")

and so on.

The only problem is, the second approach doesn't work. With the first
mechanism, I can see BlogWiki as a separate wiki project, and editing in
the appropriate directory triggers emacswiki mode.  With the second
approach, BlogWiki doesn't appear in the projects list, and editing any
files within the appropriate directory just sees the files being left in
fundamental mode.

What am I doing wrong?
