I.e., the task would effectively be invisible (at least on agenda view) until its ACTIVEON date, and then act like a normal task from then on? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I'm pretty new to elisp and I'm having difficulty figuring out how
to implement two things in org-agenda-custom-commands:
*) Is there a simple way to construct an agenda view that:
-shows all past scheduled events for one TODO keyword only
-skips for all others
The only way I could figure out it could work is to write a large
org-agenda-skip function that explicitly looks at subtrees and
duplicates the org-scheduled-past-days check code.
Unless I'm mistaken a block view won't work because the value of
org-scheduled-past-days is local to the agenda command and not each
block inside of it.
*) Using a defconst symbol or function that evaluates to a stringp
in place of an actual string in for the match field.
ex:
("A" "" tags-todo 'org-pah-todo-exclude nil nil)
(type-of org-pah-todo-exclude)
==> stringp
I also tried using concat and format for that argument. The error
is always:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp (quote org-pah-todo-exclude))
string-match("/+" (quote org-pah-todo-exclude))
org-make-tags-matcher((quote org-pah-todo-exclude))
org-tags-view((4) (quote org-pah-todo-exclude))
It seems like the evaluation order is at fault, but I couldn't get further.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

I have not tested this, but you might be able to use the general tags/ property/todo matcher on `C-c a m' like this: SCHEDULED<"<today>"/!+MYTODOKEYWORD > *) Using a defconst symbol or function that evaluates to a stringp > in place of an actual string in for the match field. > > ex: > ("A" "" tags-todo 'org-pah-todo-exclude nil nil) > > > (type-of org-pah-todo-exclude) > ==> stringp > > I also tried using concat and format for that argument.

I guess we could do that, but it would involve changing several functions. I would need a convincing use case before I invest the time.

On the positive side, while I was trying to figure out how to do this, I've started to rethink how I'm using the different date keywords. I was originally trying to overload the meaning of SCHEDULED. Making a TODO item that starts in the future and then will continue showing up until done (as in the manual) for "WAITING" items, but also as a TODO item that starts in the future, but then should become a normal TODO item for everything not a "WAITING" item. I think a better approach to the second one is going to be using a property like ACTIVEON, like so: :PROPERTIES: :ACTIVEON: <2008-10-01 Wed> :END: I'm still at the idea stage here, but think it could work with a hook similar to org-expiry.el or org-depend.el > >*) Using a defconst symbol or function that evaluates to a stringp > >in place of an actual string in for the match field. > > > > It seems like the evaluation order is at fault, but I couldn't get > >further. > > indeed, currently the match entry is not evaluated.

I was just trying to clean up some of my agenda functions and feared I was missing something basic. -- Paul Holcomb *pholcomb \@ cpoint net* GPG key fingerprint 2B62 05AE EE74 845A 705F D716 28C4 FE1C 088F CFAC ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
