I'm trying to set up a custom agenda view such that when I enter my
agenda I get, automatically:
- daily view mode (for today)
- log file mode on
- grid on
- Follow mode on
I can see from the docs how to modify the various variables that
control some of how agendas look. But the above are controlled by
functions and I'm not sure how to have those invoked when I open an
agenda.
I've been messing with org-mode-agenda-hook and
org-agenda-after-show-hook, but I clearly don't know what I'm doing.
Any ideas?
thanks,
Tommy

Something like this:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
(quote (( "x" "Test Agenda" agenda ""
((org-agenda-start-with-follow-mode t)
(org-agenda-span 'day)
(org-agenda-start-with-log-mode t))))))
but it doesn't handle the grid - I have that on by default by setting
(setq org-agenda-time-grid (quote ((daily today remove-match)
#("----------------" 0 16 (org-heading t))
(830 1000 1200 1300 1500 1700))))
which you can probably add to the above agenda definition but I didn't
bother. If there are no items to display on the agenda there is a bug
where the grid is not shown but otherwise I think this works.
Regards,
Bernt

I don't think that's a bug: this seems to be handled -- see parameter
`require-timed' in the doc:
┏━━━━┫ C-h v org-agenda-time-grid ┃
┃ org-agenda-time-grid is a variable defined in `org-agenda.el'.
┃ Its value is ((daily today require-timed)
┃ ""
┃ (800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000 2200))
┃
┃ Original value was
┃ ((daily today require-timed)
┃ "----------------"
┃ (800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000))
┃
┃
┃ Documentation:
┃ The settings for time grid for agenda display.
┃ This is a list of three items. The first item is again a list. It contains
┃ symbols specifying conditions when the grid should be displayed:
┃
┃ daily if the agenda shows a single day
┃ weekly if the agenda shows an entire week
┃ today show grid on current date, independent of daily/weekly display
┃ require-timed show grid only if at least one item has a time specification
┃
┃ The second item is a string which will be placed behind the grid time.
┃
┃ The third item is a list of integers, indicating the times that should have
┃ a grid line.
┃
┃ You can customize this variable.
┃
┃ [back]
┗━━━━
However, that's not clear to me (yet) what's `remove-match'.
Best regards,
Seb

The problem is well that, if you force the timegrid even when there is no
timed event to show, you'll always have it.
It's nice for the daily agenda view, where one could want it, with or without
timed event foreseen.
It's much less nice for a block view where you have a couple of sub-agendas
(one with appointments only, one with deadlines only, one with scheduled
entries only: you get the timegrid displayed 3 times).
Best regards,
Seb

... then one need to locally set org-agenda-time-grid to nil in the definition
of the custom agenda view.
