I'm trying to get cookies working with TODO items. The source document
is a book I'm writing and is an outline of each section and chapters so
that I can see what is still to be done. I'm writing it in latex but
doing the outline in orgs-mode.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* TODO CHAPTER 1 - preface [0%]
** DONE Disclaimer
CLOSED: [2014-07-30 Wed 23:49]
** DONE Introduction
CLOSED: [2014-07-30 Wed 23:50]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Following "5.5 Breaking tasks down into subtasks" in the "org.pdf" I
should be able to 'C-c C-c' on the cookie and it updates the cookie,
except it doesn't work in this case. There are 5 sections which are all
completed in this chapter, but the cookie doesn't update.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* TODO CHAPTER 2 - preamble [0/11] [0%]
:PROPERTIES:
:COOKIE_DATA: todo recursive
:END:
** DONE An overview of the endocrine system
CLOSED: [2014-07-31 Thu 02:12]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Like it shows on page 55. But the cookie doesn't update either in this case.
So how can I get the cookies working please?
Thanks
Sharon.

Hmm, I just tried your example above, and it worked just fine. I didn't
even need to hit C-c C-c, just adding TODOs and toggling their state
updated the cookie automatically. I'm using Org-mode version 8.3beta
(release_8.3beta-232-g644e60 @ /home/eric/.emacs.d/org-mode/lisp/)
Are you using a relatively recent Org?

That was my experience as well - there is a variable that controls the
automatic cookie setting, org-provide-todo-statistics, but it is set to
t by default, so it should just work.

Eric - I'm using "Org-mode version 8.2.7c (release_8.2.7c
@ /home/boudiccas/git/org-mode/lisp/)", which is fairly recent so
should be okay.
Hmm, if they work for you then its something in my set-up. And after
having a play, the cookie is only changed when it is toggled [C-c C-t] to
"Waiting" which then shows
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** WAITING Anise
CLOSED: [2014-08-20 Wed 10:29]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
And only _waiting_ shows as closed, none of these other conditions do -
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+TODO: TODO DONE NEXT IN-PROGRESS NOTES FIXME WAITING
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The conditions are set specifically for this one file, and I've just
reverted to a previous 'setq org-todo-keyword-faces' and that now shows
those sections marked as 'DONE' as being closed.
If I 'C-c C-c' a TODO item, whether showing as "TODO/DONE/whatever" it
triggers the setting of 'org-tags'! So something is screwy there, but I
don't know what! But it does not trigger the insertion of "CLOSED:<the-date>"
Nick - I do have 'org-provide-todo-statistics' set to "t"
I've just uploaded my 'setup-orgmode.el' file to my bitbucket, at
"https://bitbucket.org/boudiccas/dots/src/d1c750572c9367c3d86b5a1f9cfa200e07e9d988/emacs/setup-orgmode.el?at=master"
and I would be very grateful if anybody could tell me where I'm going
wrong, and then how to put it right, please?
I think that the problems all stem from my set-up, but I can't see exactly
where.
Thanks
Sharon.

It probably has to do with the fact that you haven't put a "|" anywhere
so only the WAITING type is one that indicates a completed task? Look
at the Workflow states section of the manual.
Something like this might work better for you:
#+TODO: TODO NEXT IN-PROGRESS NOTES FIXME | WAITING DONE
Note the move of DONE to the end and the addition of |. The important
thing about the move of DONE is not that it be last but that it be
placed after the |.

That should probably be
#+TODO: TODO NEXT IN-PROGRESS NOTES FIXME WAITING | DONE
