Hi all,
I am using the PROPERTY keyword to identify contexts (in the GTD
approach). So here's a sample of what I do:
* Online
:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: Computer
:END:
** TODO Call/reply to A
** TODO Defrag work PC
The Agenda view that I see is below (Home, Computer, Work are PROPERTY
tags).
What I 'd like to do is:
1. View tasks with only a specified PROPERTY tag.
2. View the main task (if this task is a sub-task) in the Agenda view.
So in the above example, I 'm trying to see something like.
Computer: Online [current output]
Any comments are appreciated. Thanks.
Current output:
Week-agenda (W16-W17):
Sunday 19 April 2009
Home: Sched. 2x: TODO ETrade debit card
Home: In -24 d.: TODO Respond to DMV Ticket
Computer: Sched. 2x: TODO Incorporate category tags
Work: Scheduled: TODO Defrag work PC

Does
http://orgmode.org/manual/Matching-tags-and-properties.html#Matching-tags-and-properties
help? In your example, I think you'd say something like this (untested):
C-c a m +CATEGORY="Computer" <RET>
BTW, there are many built-in agenda views - you seem to be doing "C-c a a"
which gives you the current week/day agenda view. But if you stop
after "C-c a", you'll be at the agenda dispatcher, which shows you a list
of agenda views. E.g., the "a" key in the dispatcher gives you the weekly
agenda view, the "m" key lets you match tags and properties etc. See
http://orgmode.org/manual/Built_002din-agenda-views.html#Built_002din-agenda-views
for more details. You can even add custom agenda views:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Custom-agenda-views.html#Custom-agenda-views
HTH,
Nick

FWIW, I use tags to mark contexts and filtering on tags is really
really fast and flexible.

Thanks. I agree this is prolly a better approach.
I did get things to work (see code in post-script) a bit using your suggestion and:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Block-agenda.html#Block-agenda
http://orgmode.org/manual/Storing-searches.html#Storing-searches
But maybe I wasn't clear enough in describing what I 'm trying to do.
I 'd like to parse the weekly Agenda (C-c a a) to show only those items that meet the specified criteria (eg, certain tags, todo-tags, or properties). The advantage is that that shows the relevant items, will complete details of dates, etc. Its sort of running a grep on the weekly Agenda output.
Any ideas are appreciated.
V.
PS: The two custom searches that I coded up are:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("h" "Agenda for context Home"
((agenda "")
(tags "HOME")))))
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("h" "Agenda for context Home" agenda (tags "HOME"))))

Have you seen http://orgmode.org/worg/org-customization-survey.php ?
Check out Matthew Lundin's agenda customizations in particular. It
the awesomest use of agenda customization that I have ever seen.

Ok, I went through Matt Lundin's agenda file. While he doesn't do what I
was trying to, it did give me a hint about how to implement a simple
grep on every Agenda entry, and then include only the lines that match a
certain criteria, as part of the main Agenda view.
(The current problem with the examples in the two links below is that
they display the entire Agenda, and then the matching tags separately).
So here's my code:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("h" "Agenda and Home-related tasks"
((agenda "" ((org-agenda-skip-function
'(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'regexp ":HOME:"))))))))
The only problem I 'm left to solve is, that this skips entries with the
tag HOME, rather than including them. I 'm only trying a way to do the
inverse match (ie skip entries that don't match HOME), but I havent been
able to nail the syntax.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Varnit

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands

((agenda "" ((org-agenda-skip-function

I think this should do it.
