Hi,

I am using org-collector to generate agenda views. For example, the
following block includes all items whose TODO keyword is "WAITING":

#+BEGIN: propview :conds ((string= TODO "WAITING")) :cols (ITEM EFFORT)

#+END:

I would like to add an additional condition based on the SCHEDULED
property of items. I would like to list all items whose SCHEDULED
property is less (earlier) or equal than today. How can I write such a
condition?

To do the above using org-agenda-custom-commands, I use the following:

  tags "TODO=\"WAITING\"+SCHEDULED<=\"<today>\""

I would like to do the same using org-collector instead.


Additionally, how can I write a condition to select items without a TODO
keyword? I try (string= TODO "") but it does not seem to work.

Thanks,

Gonzalo

Hi,

after investigating a bit, it turns out the condition can be any elisp
expression. So, the following block lists all items with SCHEDULED dates
up to today:

#+BEGIN: propview :conds  ((string< (org-read-date nil nil SCHEDULED)
(org-read-date nil nil "+1"))) :cols (ITEM EFFORT)

#+END:


However, per the second part of my initial question, I am still unable
to have a block only list items with no TODO keyword. Interestingly,
simply adding the TODO property to the conditions makes items with no
TODO keyword *not* be listed at all. For example, the block below will
list items with TODO keywords different than "WAITING", but it will not
include items with no TODO keyword for some reason:

#+BEGIN: propview :conds  ((not (string= TODO "WAITING"))) :cols (ITEM
EFFORT)

#+END:

So, the block above will include Item A below, but not Item C.

* TODO Item A
* WAITING Item B
* Item C

Any ideas how to fix that?

Thanks,

Gonzalo
