Hi all,
I'm trying to get the following to work:
(org-add-agenda-custom-command
'("X" tags "Task"
((org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if
'notregexp "Admin"))
(org-agenda-overriding-header " Test"))))
I want all entries that have the tag "TASK" and that have the category
"Admin" shown in the agenda.
I set the category in my org files like this:
#+CATEGORY: Admin
#+FILETAGS: ADMIN
* Tasks [5/6] :TASK:
** TODO Drop off Stuff
** DONE F'up on other stuff
I also tried using 'notregexp "ADMIN" to go after the FILETAG, but
either way, the search yields no hits.
I have the feeling that I'm misunderstanding something pretty badly and
would appreciate any help :-)
Thanks and Cheers
Markus

Two problems:
- the tag is "TASK" and your custom agenda command looks for "Task":
beware of the case
- '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'notregexp "Admin") is looking for an
actual occurrence of the string "Admin" in the subtree -- and there
is no such occurrence in your .org example.
I suggest you use the CATEGORY property like this:
,----
| #+FILETAGS: ADMIN
|
| * Tasks [5/6] :Task:
| :PROPERTIES:
| :CATEGORY: Admin
| :END:
|
| ** TODO Drop off Stuff
| ** DONE F'up on other stuff
`----
With this file, your agenda custom command works.

No, 'notregexp will go after actual text in the subtree, not inherited
properties. If you look for properties, try org-entry-get instead in a
org-agenda-skip-function instead.

Hope you feel better :)

Hi Bastien,
thanks for you reply. Yup, makes me feel better, because I think I'm
beginning to understand how to use properties more effectively.
Cheers

Sorry for the late reply, but a simple way to do this is to change the
query. This will pick up categories regardless of whether they are
defined in the subtree or at the top of the file:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(org-add-agenda-custom-command
'("X" tags "TASK+CATEGORY=\"Admin\""
((org-agenda-overriding-header " Test"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Best,
Matt

Hi Matt,
thanks for the reply. Looks good to me, will play around with it. Now
if I could only figure out how to use CATEGORY in my clock report ...
Cheers
