Hi,
Is there a way to get the text underneath a todo heading to show up in the
agenda screen? I like to put extra info there, like driving directions, and
it would be nice to have that info when I print out the agenda.
Here is an example:
*** TODO Potluck at Sally's :next:
Drive north on 405
Turn left at the barn
Blah blah blah, more stuff I want to include
And my custom agenda currently looks like this:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("p" "Print List"
((tags-todo "NEXT" ((org-agenda-prefix-format "[ ] %T: ")
(org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(tag-up
priority-down))
(org-agenda-todo-keyword-format "")
(org-agenda-overriding-header "\nNext
Actions\n------------------\n")))
(tags-todo "buy" ((org-agenda-prefix-format "[ ] %T: ")
(org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(tag-up
priority-down))
(org-agenda-todo-keyword-format "")
(org-agenda-overriding-header "\nShopping
List\n------------------\n"))))
((org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down))
(org-agenda-with-colors nil)
(org-agenda-todo-keyword-format "")
(org-agenda-compact-blocks t)
(org-agenda-remove-tags t)
(ps-number-of-columns 2)
(ps-landscape-mode t)))))
Thanks!
Anthony

I don't think that's possible. You can display display information stored in
a drawer by switching to column view while in agenda. You will need to
customize org-drawers and org-columns-default-format.

This, on the other hand *is* possible.
(setq org-agenda-add-entry-text-maxlines 10)
I believe you can also set this variable in the options section
of the custom command.

It would be real nice to be able to toggle the effect of
org-agenda-add-entry-text-maxlines even in agenda view. Follow mode is not
exactly the same thing because when turning it off it leaves the window behind
which has to be killed with C-x 1. But since we have it already working for
printing agenda and not for screen display, I am sure there are sufficient
reasons behind it. But then it's Org mode -- anything is possible. :)

You can also kill the window with "o", a bit easier.

For me, the reason is that the agenda should be compact, as
much as possible.

Once you've got your agenda organized right with todo's in order etc. then
it's just a little disruptive to go anywhere else for a little extra detail to
get some more context. But I agree agenda should be as compact as
possible.. may be the extra lines could be a toggle switch?

Hmmmm.
I am not yet convinced, but I have made a little toy implementation
for you and others to try out and commet on.
Please get the latest version and press `E' in the agenda to
toggle the display of a small amount (see variable
`org-agenda-entry-text-maxlines') of text from the entry in
the agenda.

Thanks! I like it very much so far. Refreshing the agenda removes the
snippets/excerpts though. Will use it for a few days and report back.

Yes, so far it is a 10 minute hack, not a fully implemented feature :-)

Me too! I just tried it for the first time this morning and I think
this is going to be very useful.
Lots of my tasks have website links which are exposed by this. It would
be even more useful if I can click on the links to go there as in the
regular org file.
Even without that this hack looks like a keeper to me :)
Thanks,
Bernt

I am using an overlay after-string property to display the text.
I don't want to move a way from the one-real-line-is-one-entry
paradigm, so this is as far as I'd like to go, and I do not
wnat to really "insert" this text.
We could make C-c C-o follow links also in the extra text,
and offer a link selection if there are several links, maybe.

As a first step, `C-c C-o' now opens links from the entire text of an
entry, not just of the headline visible in the agenda. So this works
even without using E to show entry text in the agenda, but of course
it will also when when the extra text is visible.

Would it be hard to make C-c C-o on a headline in a regular org-file
also show this link menu? I find that very convenient but have to
switch to the agenda first to get at my links quickly :)
I think having it behave the same would also feel more consistent - it
doesn't matter if you're in the agenda or on a headline in an org-file
-- C-c C-o on a headline presents the link menu regardless.

That does sound reasonable, please check if it works now like that.

It works but not exactly the same. C-c C-o on a headline in an org file
also picks up links in my LOGBOOK drawer (which isn't bad) but the
agenda doesn't do that.
They should probably be consistent.

This is a very nice feature! Once it is fully implemented,
it will have a benefit that you may not have anticipated,
as explained below:
Many of my TODO items include links to the online places
where the task is to be done. I also use Org id links to
the tasks whenever I write about them in my work log, and
org-insert-link expands the link in the task to give
something like "Headline Text {{link address}{link text}}".
Because the link address is visible, it's very cluttered.
With the new feature, I can put the links in the extra text
and avoid cluttering up the headline. Hmm, but then they won't
show up as links in the agenda view. Regardless of that, it's
a good feature, and much appreciated!
Peter.

I value this because I have some trees like:
**** a big bug: The file id "None" is not present in the tree <Inventory object…
***** TODO try to reproduce
***** fix it
And the TODO would show in the agenda as just „try to reproduce“, which isn't enough context as to remember what is it about.
Now with 1 key I can get rid of the confusion; thanks.
I saw something strange: Emacs seems to beep with each C-n on that view. Not with C-p.
The following (ding) is being run on next-line due to the condition end-of-buffer, I don't know why:
(if (interactive-p)
(condition-case nil
(line-move arg nil nil try-vscroll)
((beginning-of-buffer end-of-buffer) (ding)))
(line-move arg nil nil try-vscroll)))
nil)
The call was:
(line-move 1 nil nil 1)

Interesting. But I cannot reproduce it.

Strange. It happens even with emacs -Q in Ubuntu's emacs-snapshot package:
GNU Emacs 23.0.91.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.16.0) of 2009-04-05 on palmer, modified by Debian
Maybe in Emacs' CVS it is fixed…
The end-of-buffer is signaled by (line-move-visual 1 nil):
(signal (if (< arg 0)
'beginning-of-buffer
'end-of-buffer)
nil))))

I too am having the exact same (minor) problem as Daniel. Additionally,
in the 'E' expanded view the 'p' command will move to the end of the
line containing the previous agenda entry as opposed to hugging the
leftmost column as it does in the non-expanded view.

I cannot believe it, there really *are* people who use Emacs
and accept the new line-move-visual default value????? This
drives me sooo crazy when editing code and other line-organized
content - which, frankly, is *all* the stuff I do edit in Emacs.
The absolute first line in my .emacs file is
(setq line-move-visual nil)
Anyway, I am now overruling this for the agenda, to get rid
of the beep for now. I guess this should count as an Emacs
bug, though.
