multiple date_tree values possible in a single file

multiple date_tree values possible in a single file

[Stuart McLean]

Hello, everyone

I really like the date tree hierarchy. I was wondering whether it was
possible to use
multiple date_tree hierarchies in a single file, or how one would go
about setting it up.

For example

* Items TODO
** tree 1
   :PROPERTIES:
   :DATE_TREE: t
   :END:
** tree 2
   :PROPERTIES:
   :DATE_TREE: t
   :END:

I don't think i can get this to work. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Stuart

I'm not sure what you mean: what exactly can you not get to work?

Hi, Nick

I have expressed myself poorly. It is not so much what I can not get to
work. It is more "is such-and-such possible". I would like to have two headings
in one file, and to be able to use `org-capture' to file notes under
each of them
in a date-tree. I know you can file notes under an individual heading
using the DATE_TREE property, but how would you use this for two
different headings?

I hope this is a little more clear,

Yes, thanks!

The docs seem to imply that you cannot do that indeed: the file+datetree
target takes a filename arg, but no heading arg, and afaik they all end
up in the same date tree, i.e. the date tree provides the top level
structure. Cursory experimentation confirms that, but I may have missed
something.

Thanks, Nick

That is what I thought, but I wanted to be sure.

It would be useful to allow an heading argument - nice exercise for someone… ?

FWIW, my workaround is to set up multiple templates with different tags, 
and then filtering by tag if I only want to see those from a certain 
template.

But it's probably not too hard to do better.

Simon
