Hello all,
I'm sure this is not as complicated as i am making it out to be, but i
have tried every option i can think of.
My org files consist of three todo states : TODO NEXT | DONE
Any TODO is a project, and it may have sub projects like so :
* TODO Make dinner
** TODO Make homemade pizza
*** NEXT roll out the crust
*** NEXT add sauce
*** NEXT add cheese
** TODO Make a side salad
*** NEXT chop lettuce
*** NEXT chop tomatos
What I would like is to have my projects list agenda show :
TODO Make homemade pizza
TODO Make side salad
Basically, my projects are any TODO that has no TODO children, but may have
NEXT children.
How can i get the agenda view to only show them ?
thanks
-Tim

Hi Tim,
You should be able to achieve what you are looking for with a custom
agenda skip function. I have skip functions to show (or skip) projects
in my setup and you should be able to adapt some of that for your needs.
See
http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#CustomAgendaViewSetup and
http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#Projects
for examples of what I use.
Regards,
Bernt

Thanks Bernt, I guess it /is/ that complicated. I will take a look but I
am not much of an elisp programmer yet....

If all of your projects are normally at level 2 will this work?
C-c a m LEVEL=2/!TODO RET
If that works then you can define an agenda as
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
(quote (("p" "Projects" tags-todo "LEVEL=2/!TODO"
((org-agenda-overriding-header "Projects")
(org-agenda-sorting-strategy
'(category-keep)))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Bernt,
I really appreciate your time. Unfortunately, this doesnt quite get me
what I am looking for. My current method of defining projects and actions
is :
- any thing that needs to be accomplished is a TODO
- a TODO can have TODOs as children, for as many levels as it takes to
organize the project and subprojects
- Next actions are defined with a NEXT key word and are tagged with the
appropriate context to have them show on my next actions list (i.e. errand,
office, home)
I would like to have 2 views of the projects :
The first is a hierarchial view of all TODOs , which i do using the indented
agenda list of TODOs.
The second is now using what you have published on your website using the skip
functions. Since I want to see all TODOs that have NEXT items as children, or,
said another way
A project is any TODO that has NEXT as children
I modified your =bh/is-project-p= to look for NEXT like so
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(while (and (not has-subtask)
(< (point) subtree-end)
- (re-search-forward "^\*+ TODO" subtree-end t))
+ (re-search-forward "^\*+ NEXT" subtree-end t))
(when (member (org-get-todo-state) org-todo-keywords-1)
#+END_SRC
Again, thank you for your help, and for putting your setup out on
the web for all of us to benefit from.
