Hi all,
I have setup org-contacts and completion of emails in message mode. I have
some contacts that are tagged :group: and some tagged :group:ms:
If I put +group in the email To field, it completes to all of the entries
(awesome!)
But +group-ms does not work. Is that a bug, or a known limit of
org-contacts? That search works fine with C-c am.
Thanks,
John

An unknown limitation of org-contacts. ;)
org-contacts doesn't use `org-tags-view', that's why it doesn't support
this match syntax.
ATM, it is unclear to me how such syntax could be integrated with the
completion mechanism.
Also, I haven't look at the code that handles this in org-mode so I
don't know how easy or hard it would be to use it with org-contacts.
An alternative would be to provide a way to store the addresses of
contacts in a sparse tree or in the *org-agenda* buffer.
e.g.
C-x b contacts.org RET
C-c a m foo+bar RET
M-x org-contacts-copy-contacts RET
C-x b *Group* RET ;; Switch to Gnus
m ;; compose a message
C-c C-f ;; goto From
C-y
WDYT?
Best,

neat idea. This code does exactly what I need for the completion for a
whole tag query. It should be possible to integrate that into completion.
(defun insert-emails-from-tags (tags)
(interactive "sTags: ")
(insert
(save-window-excursion
(find-file "contacts-bbdb.org")
(mapconcat
'identity
(let ((todo-only nil))
(org-scan-tags
(lambda ()
(org-entry-get (point) "EMAIL")) ; action
(cdr (org-make-tags-matcher tags)) ; matcher
nil)) ", "))))
It should be possible to integrate this into the org-contacts database to
get this with completion. I will look into this later today. Thanks for the
ideas.
John

The completion for group based on tags is done in the function
`org-contacts-complete-group'.
It's been a long time since I played with the completion mechanism, so I
don't remember exactly how it worked. Maybe you can replace the mapcar
with your function, but it might a bit more tricky than that, especially
to handle empty result.
Thanks for your work :)

Here is a better function I think. It uses the builtin org-contacts
database:
(defun insert-emails-from-tags (tag-expression)
"insert emails from org-contacts that match the tags expression. For
example:
group-phd will match entries tagged with group but not with phd."
(interactive "sTags: ")
(insert
(mapconcat 'identity
(loop for contact in (org-contacts-filter)
for contact-name = (car contact)
for email = (org-contacts-strip-link (car
(org-contacts-split-property
(or
(cdr (assoc-string
org-contacts-email-property
(caddr contact)))
""))))
for tags = (cdr (assoc "TAGS" (nth 2 contact)))
for tags-list = (if tags
(split-string (substring (cdr (assoc "TAGS" (nth 2
contact))) 1 -1) ":")
'())
if (let ((todo-only nil))
(eval (cdr (org-make-tags-matcher tag-expression))))
collect (org-contacts-format-email contact-name email))
",")))

Here is what I finally ended up with to allow completion with tag
expressions. I did not figure out how to avoid overwriting an
org-contacts function. I thought I could find the right hooks to use,
but I could not figure it out. It is only a one line modification to the
org-contacts function. This works for tag expressions, but I have not
gotten it to work with properties.
(defun org-contacts-complete-tags (start end tag-expression)
"insert emails from org-contacts that match the tags expression. For example:
group-phd will match entries tagged with group but not with phd."
(let* ((completion-ignore-case org-contacts-completion-ignore-case)
(group-completion-p t))
(let ((result (mapconcat 'identity
(loop for contact in (org-contacts-db)
for contact-name = (car contact)
for email = (org-contacts-strip-link (car (org-contacts-split-property
(or
(cdr (assoc-string org-contacts-email-property
(caddr contact)))
""))))
for tags = (cdr (assoc "TAGS" (nth 2 contact)))
for tags-list = (if tags
(split-string (substring (cdr (assoc "TAGS" (nth 2 contact))) 1 -1) ":")
'())
if (let ((todo-only nil))
(eval (cdr (org-make-tags-matcher tag-expression))))
collect (org-contacts-format-email contact-name email))
",")))
(when (not (string= "" result))
;; return (start end function)
(lexical-let* ((to-return result))
(list start end
(lambda (string pred &optional to-ignore) to-return)))))))
this is the function I overwrote in my init files:
(defun org-contacts-message-complete-function (&optional start)
"Function used in `completion-at-point-functions' in `message-mode'."
;; Avoid to complete in `post-command-hook'.
(when completion-in-region-mode
(remove-hook 'post-command-hook #'completion-in-region--postch))
(let ((mail-abbrev-mode-regexp
"^\\(Resent-To\\|To\\|B?Cc\\|Reply-To\\|From\\|Mail-Followup-To\\|Mail-Copies-To\\|Disposition-Notification-To\\|Return-Receipt-To\\):"))
(when (mail-abbrev-in-expansion-header-p)
(lexical-let*
((end (point))
(start (or start
(save-excursion
(re-search-backward "\\(\\`\\|[\n:,]\\)[ \t]*")
(goto-char (match-end 0))
(point))))
(string (buffer-substring start end)))
(or
;; I added the next line
(org-contacts-complete-tags start end string)
(org-contacts-complete-group start end string)
(org-contacts-complete-name start end string))))))

I've added a new hook `org-contacts-complete-functions' that you can use
to plug your function.

Thanks, but I'm refactoring org-contacts a bit, and I think I have found
a slightly better way to do that, but in the meantime you can use the
aforementioned hook for your function.

It turns out that my idea was wrong, so I have used a version very
similar to yours.
The function is triggered by the prefix '#' (customizable) and can be
used to match tags and properties.
e.g. the following expression:
#work-phd&BIRTHDAY<>""
will look for contacts with the tag 'work' but not the tag 'phd' and for
which there is a BIRTHDAY properties.
Best,
