Hi,
I wanted to prefix the results of a tags-todo agenda command with
scheduling information. But I can't seem to figure out the correct way
to do this. This is what I tried:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("J" "Type1/Type2"
((tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"foo\"+type1"
((org-agenda-overriding-header "Type1")))
(tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"foo\"+type2"
((org-agenda-overriding-header "Type2"))))
((org-agenda-files (list "~/tmp/org/tasks.org"))
(org-agenda-prefix-format " % s")
(org-agenda-compact-blocks t)))))
With the attached Org file, the agenda buffer looks like this:
Type1
foo: TODO Item 1 :type1::
foo: TODO Item 3 :type1::
Type2
foo: TODO Item 8 :type2::
Anyone any thoughts? Actually I have wanted a view like "Timeline" for
many years for my agenda searches. Is that possible? That would be
even better.
Cheers,

Forgot to mention in my earlier post, I tried that too! Something like this: (org-agenda-prefix-format '(tags " % s")) Same result. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.

Also, internally, the string form is accepted just as well as the alist form by org-compile-prefix-format, so I was wrong about the alist vs string distinction. IIUC (do I?), you expect the format to produce the Deadline: or Scheduled: prefixes that you get in the timeline. Unfortunately, that code is completely separate from the code that gets executed here. In the timeline, we go org-timeline -> org-agenda-get-scheduled (or org-agenda-get-deadlines) -> org-agenda-format-item("Scheduled: " ....) with the first argument providing the appropriate prefix. But with the custom agenda, we go a different way: org-tags-view -> org-scan-tags -> org-agenda-format-item("" ...) and org-scan-tags calls org-agenda-format-item with a hardwired empty string for the "extra" argument - it does not matter that %s has been specified in org-agenda-prefix-format. So I don't think you can do what you want (again IIUC). Presumably, stealing the code that calculates whether the entry should get a scheduling prefix from org-agenda-get-scheduled and grafting it into org-scan-tags would do the trick, but that's not the way things are today. -- Nick ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Actually I went through these steps too!

Hmm, I was hoping for the timeline like prefix, but even a normal prefix as in the usual agenda ("Sched. 2x") would also have worked for me. > Presumably, stealing the code that calculates whether the entry should > get a scheduling prefix from org-agenda-get-scheduled and grafting it > into org-scan-tags would do the trick, but that's not the way things are > today. Thanks for clearly outlining the code path for me. Maybe if I find some time, I'll hack around a bit. Cheers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
