Hi org-mode community,
maybe I did not search the right way in google alias startpage. But I
could not figure out how to write next to the date e.g. 2000-04-01 the
weekday, i.e. the specific day of the week. It would come very handy to
have the date displayed as 2019-05-14 Tu and 2019-05-15 We and so on. Or
even have it spelled out as 2019-05-14 Tuesday.
Probably there is a way of setting this. How does it work?
Thanks and cheers,
J

Hmm. My daily agenda (the default one) starts like this:
Day-agenda (W20):
Tuesday 14 May 2019
and tasks, etc. are listed below that. I don't think I've ever
customized this. Are you seeing something different? Or maybe you mean
something else by "agenda"?
If you're talking about Org's built-in agenda, you might want to take a
look at the `org-agenda-format-date' variable. Mine is set to the
org-agenda-format-date-aligned function, which I assume is what outputs
the example above.
If you're just talking about timestamps in Org files, you might want to
look at the `org-time-stamp-custom-formats' and
`org-display-custom-times' variables.
Hope that helps!

Hi Richard,
thanks for pointing me at the variable org-agenda-format-date. There
was a line in my dotemacs that included a formatting without the
weekday (something like %y-%w-%d). I could not figure out how the
name-of-the-weekday format would be called. But for now I'm fine with
returning to the default which gives me an English date including the
weekday.
Cheers, J

Dear Johanna,
for me
(setq calendar-day-name-array ["Sonntag" "Montag" "Dienstag" "Mittwoch"
"Donnerstag" "Freitag" "Samstag"]
calendar-month-name-array ["Januar" "Februar" "Maerz" "April" "Mai"
"Juni" "Juli" "August" "September"
"Oktober" "November" "Dezember"])
in .emacs results in German names.
best regards,
Heinz

You probably want "%a" or "%A" somewhere in there, if you want a
locale-specific name of the weekday. See the docstring for the
format-time-string function.

Hey there,
thank you very much, that is now perfect:
I use
(setq org-agenda-format-date ;; (1)
"%Y-%m-%d %A ----------------------------------------") ;; (1)
(the (1) in brackets gives me an indication of where I got the initial
code from)
and it gives me
2019-05-15 Mittwoch ----------------------------------------
all I want :)
Cheers and have a good week

How do you generate that view?
Doesn't your agenda view already show the day of the week? With the
recommended keybinding, I get a daily agenda with C-c a a d.
Mine starts like this:
,----
| Day-agenda (W20):
| Tuesday 14 May 2019
| 8:00...... ----------------
| appts: 10:00-11:30 Tools Meeting
| 10:00...... ----------------
| 12:00...... ----------------
| 14:00...... ----------------
| 16:00...... ----------------
| 18:00...... ----------------
| 20:00...... ----------------
| work: Sched.Xx: TODO Review PR
| work: Sched.2x: TODO Add issue
| Weather: OpenWeatherMap: light rain, 3-8°C, 1010hpa, 90%, 3m/s
`----
so it definitely shows the weekday, but perhaps you are doing something
different?

How do you generate *that* view? How do you have it creating sub-groups? All
I get is a straight-forward list of days and times, with all items in chrono
order....

Not sure what you mean by "sub-groups". And I'm pretty sure I don't do
anything special to get this. The grid is the standard grid - I
believe that comes "free" with the default settings of
org-agenda-time-grid and org-agenda-use-time-grid.
The appts:, work: and Weather: thingies are "categories" - the first
two come from the name of the agenda file where the item originated:
I have a work.org file for work items and an appts.org file which contains just
reminders. It actually contains a bit more: there are top-level headlines
for Anniversaries, Weather and Appointments like this:
,----
| * Anniversaries
| :PROPERTIES:
| :CATEGORY: Anniv
| :ID: 409062f6-6cb1-467f-b192-2dfcb7b384ca
| :END:
| %%(org-bbdb-anniversaries)
|
| * Weather
| :PROPERTIES:
| :CATEGORY: Weather
| :END:
| %%(org-weather)
|
| * Appointments
| ** APPT Doctor appt <some date and time>
| ....
`----
Items in the Appoinments section don't have a defined Category
so they are labeled with the fill name ("appts"). Anniversaries
and Weather items have a CATEGORY property so they are labeled
by the explicit category.
I don't remember whether I do anything special to sort the items
(e.g. why the Weather item is always last). If you are interested
in that, I can dig a little more into my configuration.
Does that answer your question?

That helps immensely, evidently I have some reading to do, so I understand
more of how to change the agenda view around.
And yes please, could/would you check your config and see if anything special
is done?
Thanks very much!
