Displaying agenda for today instead of diary with the calendar

Displaying agenda for today instead of diary with the calendar

[Christian Wittern]

Dear org-moders,

Over the years I have gradually moved most of my planning from the Emacs 
diary to org-mode. However, when I call up the Emacs calendar, it still 
displays the day-view of my diary, which does not have relevant information 
anymore.  I would like to replace it with the agenda buffer.

Upon investigation, it seems that calendar calls 'view-diary-entries' to 
display the diary.  Has anybody here managed to replace this with an 
appropriate call to display the agenda buffer?  How would I go ahead to 
achieve this?

Any help appreciated,

Christian

My calendar does not do that, so I presume you have customized a
hook. C-h v calendar--hook <TAB> brings up the following completions:

,----
| Click <mouse-2> on a completion to select it.
| In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.
| 
| Possible completions are:
| calendar-initial-window-hook 	calendar-load-hook
| calendar-mode-hook 	calendar-move-hook
| calendar-today-invisible-hook 	calendar-today-visible-hook
`----

so check them to see which one contains a view-diary-entries entry (or
as it is called today diary-view-entries) - probably
calendar-initial-window-hook, and replace it with a function
that brings up your agenda; maybe something like this:

(add-hook 'calendar-initial-window-hook 'org-agenda-list)
