Hello,
please help a newbie with org-expiry.el :)
I have a file like this:
expiry.org
* ACTIVE Test task
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPIRY: <2010-01-04 Mon 11:12>
:END:
I want org-expiry to change the keyword from ACTIVE to EXPIRED. These
keywords are defined in my .emacs as follows:
(setq org-todo-keywords
(quote ((sequence "TODO(t)" "STARTED(s!)" "WAITING(w@/@)"
"APPT(a@/!)" "|" "DONE(d@/@)" "CANCELED(c@/@)" "DEFERRED(f)")
(sequence "ACTIVE" "|" "EXPIRED"))))
If I type M-x org-expiry-process-entries in expiry.org, I get the
following error:
Symbol's function definition is void: org-expiry-handler function
I have defined this to be org-expiry-add-keyword, but how do I define
the actual keyword?
Thanks
Markus

This actually is a bug in org-expiry.el that is fixed with the
attached patch.

You can define the keyword by setting the variable
`org-expiry-keyword'
,----
| (setq org-expiry-keyword "KEYWORD")
`----
or of cause using customization-interface (M-x customize-group RET
org-expiry RET).

Thanks for the patch.
But when I run M-x org-expiry-process-entries in the agenda or in my
example file (see below), I get the following message in the minibuffer:
"The mark is not set now, so there is no region"
When I run M-x org-expiry-process-entry in my example file (see below),
it works! This command doesn't work in the agenda, but this is by
design, right?
Am I correct in assuming that I should be able to use M-x
org-expiry-process-entries in the agenda?
Thanks and Cheers
Markus

No. Up to now org-expiry is constructed to work on a per file basis
and `org-expiry-process-entries' even expects the headlines to process
in a region. That is what the first message "The mark is not set now,
so there is no region" complains about.
It seems reasonable to me that org-expiry should provide a function
that processes all headlines in a buffer and processing all headlines
in an agenda view.
Could I ask you to elaborate on the intended use of org-expiry? I'm
not quite sure about how expiry fits in the overall concept of
orgmode.

Hi David,
in the thread "Contracts in org-mode" (Message-ID:
<hgohio$dk8$1@ger.gmane.org>), org-expiry was brought to my attention.
Here's a description of what I try to achieve: I have several
Workorders (WO) with different clients. I only can do work for them if
a WO has been signed and is active. In my org files, such a WO gets the
keyword "ACTIVE". When a WO expires, it gets a keyword "EXPIRED". I
have agenda views for "ACTIVE" and "EXPIRED" so that I can see at one
glance what is active and what needs to be renewed.
Right now, I manually change the keyword from ACTIVE to EXPIRED (see my
example file at the end), but it would be awesome, i.e. really helpful
if I could use the agenda view with all ACTIVE WOs and do M-x
org-expiry-process-entries.
Does this elaboration make sense to you? I'm open for any kinds of
suggestions here ...
Thanks
Markus
Example file (needs org-depend):
* Workorder WOyyyy
** TODO Create WO
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: WOyyyy-Create
:TRIGGER: WOyyyy-Sign(TODO)
:END:
** PI Signature
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: WOyyyy-Sign
:BLOCKER: WOyyyy-Create
:TRIGGER: WOyyyy-Service(ACTIVE) WOyyyy-Analysis(ACTIVE)
WOyyyy-Renew(TODO) WOyyyy-Expire(TODO)
:END:
** Renew WO
DEADLINE: <2010-03-31 Wed>
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: WOyyyy-Renew
:BLOCKER: WOyyyy-Sign
:END:
** Expire WO
DEADLINE: <2010-03-31 Wed>
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: WOyyyy-Expire
:BLOCKER: WOyyyy-Sign
:TRIGGER: WOyyyy-Service(EXPIRED) WOyyyy-Analysis(EXPIRED)

Actually I have to correct myself: That `org-expiry-process-entries'
/requires/ mark to be set seems like a bug:
,----
| (defun org-expiry-process-entries (beg end)
| "Process all expired entries between BEG and END.
| The expiry process will run the function defined by
| `org-expiry-handler-functions'."
| (interactive "r")
| (save-excursion
| (let ((beg (if (org-region-active-p)
| (region-beginning) (point-min)))
| (end (if (org-region-active-p)
| (region-end) (point-max))))
| ...
`----
beg and end are mandatory parameters and (interactive "r") sets beg
and end to beginning and end of region respectively. But as far as I
understand the source (tm), the function parameters are not used
because the let-statement defines two local variables beg and end
depending on whether there is an active region or not.
But if there is no region active the (interactive "r") complains about
no region and terminates the function. So the else statements in the
if clauses are never used, right?
So `org-expiry-process-entries' should read:
,----
| (defun org-expiry-process-entries ()
| "Process all expired entries between BEG and END.
| The expiry process will run the function defined by
| `org-expiry-handler-functions'."
| (interactive)
| (save-excursion
| ...
`----
Or am I missing something?
