Hi all,
I'd like to advice the function org-todo to check in and check out the
clock automatically.
I've defined the org-todo-keywords so that they have a choice letter as follows:

(setq org-todo-keywords
      '( (sequence "TODO(t!)" "|" "DONE(d!)")
         (sequence "FEATURE(f!)" "BUG(b!)"  "IMPLEMENTING(i!)" "|"
"COMPLETED(c!)")
         ))

and I'd like to start the clock each time the "i" (implementing) is
chosen, stopping the clock each time the "c" (completed) is selected.
However I've a little problem doing the advice because the argument is
null and therefore I don't know which letter the user has pressed.
Anyone can provide a little help?

Thanks,
Luca

I would not advice `org-todo', I would explore the idea of adding a
function to `org-after-todo-state-change-hook'.

You can use (setq org-clock-out-when-done t) for this.

Thanks,
a very good advice. Now, forgive my lisp ignorance, but I've defined
the following function to do what I want:

(defun org-todo-automatic-clock ()
  "Starts/Stops the clock when a task is marked as implementing or completed"
  (if (string= state org-todo-fluca1978-running)
      (org-clock-in)
    (if (or (string= state last-state) (string= state
org-todo-fluca1978-suspended))
        (org-clock-out)
      )
    )
  )                                     ;end of defun


the problem is how to tell the org-todo-keyword to use variables
instead of strings, since the following is not working:

(setq org-todo-fluca1978-running   "IMPLEMENTING(i!)" )
(setq org-todo-fluca1978-suspended "SUSPENDED(s!)" )

(setq org-todo-keywords
      '(
         (sequence "FEATURE(f!)" "BUG(b!)"
'org-todo-fluca1978-running 'org-todo-fluca1978-suspended "|"
"COMPLETED(c!)")
         ))

What am I missing here?

Thanks,
Luca

OTTOMH: Should state be org-state instead?

Actually you can simply use

(setq org-clock-in-switch-to-state "STRT")
(setq org-clock-out-switch-to-state "DONE")
