So I have a custom agenda search:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands '(("p" "Projects" tags "+xxx|+xx|+x")))
I'd like to also show the DEADLINEs for these projects. Is there an
easy way to do that?

Get back here when you cannot figure out how to do this. - Carsten On Dec 8, 2008, at 8:29 PM, Christopher DeMarco wrote: > So I have a custom agenda search: > > (setq org-agenda-custom-commands '(("p" "Projects" tags "+xxx|+xx| > +x"))) > > I'd like to also show the DEADLINEs for these projects.

OK, so I can't figure out how to do this :-) First, how I'm using org-mode: Inside ~/working I have nested project directories; some for home and some for work; projects within projects within projects. Whenever I need a new PROJECTNAME.org, I create it wherever in the hierarchy it belongs, and then symlink it into the proper toplevel (which roughly corresponds to the start of a particular SVN or Git repository). This way, I have much smaller list of org-agenda-files to maintain. I have some custom agenda views defined, that tell me things like what I have to do today, and what to do in various contexts etc. For this I aggregate all of the .org files I've written. I don't want to go adding a :COLUMNS: property to every .org file that I want to include in a custom view; I'd rather define :COLUMNS: for "types" of views that I want. Where would I define this? I suppose that I could write definitions in "hidden" files that get explicitly sourced based on what view I want, but that seems roundabout... Thanks... and org-mode rocks! -- Christopher DeMarco <demarco@maya.com> IT Director MAYA Group +1-412-708-9660 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

This is what the variable org-overriding-column-format is for. You must not set this in a normal way, but only as an option for an agenda command, for example (setq org-agenda-custom-commands '(("x" "With deadline columns" alltodo "" ((org-agenda-overriding-columns-format "%20ITEM %DEADLINE") (org-agenda-start-view-columns-initially t))))) This will define the "x" as an agenda dispatcher custom key, creating an agenda view, defining a special columns format, and immediately turning on column view. Hmmm, at least this was *supposed* to work this way, but I see now that there is a little bug. You need to get the latest git release (or release 6.15c) for this to work correctly.... - Carsten On Dec 16, 2008, at 4:12 AM, Christopher DeMarco wrote: > On Tue, Dec 09, 2008 at 08:17:38AM +0100, Carsten Dominik wrote: > >> you may want to take a look at column view, which can show the >> deadline. >> Get back here when you cannot figure out how to do this. > > OK, so I can't figure out how to do this :-) > > First, how I'm using org-mode: > > Inside ~/working I have nested project directories; some for home and > some for work; projects within projects within projects.
