Troubles with custom agenda commands

Troubles with custom agenda commands

[Sebastien Vauban]

Hello,

Trying to write my own custom agenda commands, I face a couple of weird
behaviors.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (add-to-list 'org-agenda-custom-commands
               '("S" "Summary Review"
                 ((agenda "")
                  (todo ""))
                 ((org-agenda-time-grid nil)
                  (org-agenda-clockreport-mode nil)
                  (org-deadline-warning-days 0))))
#+end_src

Having the above (which is correct, AFAICT from following the tutorial on
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-custom-agenda-commands.html):

1. When getting to the agenda dispatcher (`C-c a'), I see:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
   S   Summary Review: set of 3 commands
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

  while I only have... 2 commands (`agenda' and `todo'). Why?

2. When firing it up (`C-c a' followed by `S'), I get the 2 blocks I was
   expecting, but also an error:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
   Buffer is read-only: #<buffer *Org Agenda(S)*>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Can you confirm this?

Best regards,
  Seb

This is a bug, fixed.  Thanks for spotting this!

I guess this is a problem with some hooks trying to modify the buffer,
please let me know if this happens again.

Tested. Confirmed OK.

It does not anymore, and I've changed some settings as well in my .emacs. It
could have been some local customization. Cancelled!

Thanks!

The above problem is back with the following configuration (tested with
"emacs -Q"):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    (add-to-list 'org-agenda-custom-commands
                 '("C" "Clock Review"
                   ((agenda ""
                            ((org-agenda-clockreport-mode t)
                             (org-agenda-overriding-header "Clocking Review")
                             (org-agenda-show-log 'clockcheck)
                             (org-agenda-span 'day))) t)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Org writes:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
C   Clock Review  : set of 2 commands
n   Agenda and all TODO's: set of 2 commands
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

while there is only 1 command to be run (the agenda view)!?

Note, surprisingly, 2 extra spaces before the ":", while they're not in the
customized header string...

Best regards,

Please IGNORE IT!  This "bug" is due to a faulty placement of the parenthesis.

It should have been:

>                  '("C" "Clock Review"
>                    ((agenda ""

>                              (org-agenda-overriding-header "Clocking Review")
>                              (org-agenda-show-log 'clockcheck)
>                              (org-agenda-span 'day))))) t)
                                                       ^^
Sorry for this false alarm.
