In-Reply-To: <5e5ad53867dc4ff2b902b997f3405518@fcmailsvr3.familycareinc.org> (Subhan Michael Tindall's message of "Wed, 4 Feb 2015 22:40:07 +0000")
THanks for the good tips and examples; I'll keep them handy. So, listing the org-agenda variables the one I want to edit is org-agenda filter; however, changing this in my function does NOT change my agenda view the way it should. Here's what I'm trying:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; saving views
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("c" "Class agendas"
; ((agenda "" ((org-agenda-span 7) (org-agenda-tag-filter "+LMC_6215"))))))) ;; No different results
((agenda "" ((org-agenda-span 7) (org-agenda-tag-filter '("+LMC_6215"))))))))
;; in the agenda, org-agenda-tag-filter remains nil no matter what
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Why is `org-agenda-tag-filter` being ignored when `org-agenda-span` is working?
