Hi everyone
Having moved from planner mode to org mode, I am quite happy. It has required a few shifts in my planning behavior, but all in all it is for the better. One of the biggest things I miss about planner mode though is the ability to quickly attach a task to a particular planner page from anywhere. I've been able to replicate the same behavior with a bit of elisp and Remember, but Remember always likes to attach tasks to the first level, but I need it to attach to a 2nd level headline. Would it be possible to do a check on the headline, and if it is prefixed by a star, it would attach to the headline at the starred level? For instance if the headline in org-remember-template is set to "*** Tasks" it would attach the Remember note to the first *** Tasks headline it saw. If it was "Tasks" it would do the normal behavior, which is to attach it to "* Tasks".
Here is my org-create-task so that other planner-mode refugees can utilize it. Note that it assumes all org files are in ~/org/
(defun org-create-task (org-file)
"An emulation of planner-create-task."
(interactive
(list
(completing-read "Org file: " (directory-files "~/org/"))))
(aput 'org-remember-templates "Current Project" `(?c "** TODO %?\n DEADLINE: %^t\n Made From:%i\n %a" ,(concat "~/org/" org-file) "Tasks"))
(org-remember nil ?c))

Hi Jonathan,
The headline only needs to be unique in the target file. It will be
found independent of
the level it is at. The display in the remember buffer may be a bit
misleading, but this is how it works.
