Hi,

I'm using orgmode 6.30d, under the OS Ubuntu 8.04 and the general idea is to
use it to log my work and i'm facing the following issues:

   - insert a constant timestamp (e.g. i forgot to insert an activity that i
   did yesterday, and i want to log it. Ican't insert a clock with previous
   start and end date)
   - change a timestamp inserted with a clock log in (e.g. i booked an
   activity to had started at 01:40PM but it actually started at 02:00 PM, how
   can i change it to have it delayed 20 minutes later)
   - export the org mode document with the clocks timestamp (e.g. i want to
   export the working log with all the timestamp both HTML and PDF but i have
   no success. The clock timestamps are not displayed in the output file)

I mentioned that i read all the manual and the advices given there don't
work.

Thank you very much for your help,
Rares

You can insert an timestamp with HH:MM by typing "C-u C-c !". 

Here is a *very simple* function I use to insert a clock line at point:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    (defun my-org-insert-old-clock ()
      "Insert a clock line interactively at point."
      (interactive)
      (open-line 1)
      (insert "CLOCK: ")
      (org-time-stamp-inactive t)
      (insert "--")
      (org-time-stamp-inactive t)
      (org-clock-update-time-maybe))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You can change a time stamp by using Shift and the arrow keys. S-left
and S-right move forward and backward by day. S-up and S-down change
individual elements of the clock (hour, minutes, etc.).

See manual section 8.2: "Creating timestamps."

Are your timestamps in a :LOGBOOK: drawer? If so, you can turn on the
inclusion of drawers in export by adding the following line to the top
of your file:

#+OPTIONS: d:t

Or you can set org-export-with-drawers to t.

Hope this helps.

Hi Matt,

It worked almost everything, with the exception of publishing and exporting.
That doesn't work only if i delete the CLOCK: string before the timestamp.

Here is the line:
 CLOCK: [2010-02-08 Mon 15:31]--[2010-02-08 Mon 16:32] =>  1:01

I searched through the doco but i didn't not find any solution, to export it
the way it is.

Can you give some more ideas?

Best regards,
RAres

Thanks for the answer Carsten.

There is any plan to support it in future releases?

Thanks,

No plans yet.

One thing you could do is to use one of the hooks like org-export- 
proprocess-hook to install a function that will find clock tasks and  
format then in a way that they will look nice.

Then you can show us the result and convince us that this would be  
good to have as a built-in option.

How about that?
