[O] bug in org-icalendar--combine-files?
Hey, I wrote a function to export scheduled, done tasks to iCalendar[1]. All works well, but I noticed that before the function is run, my agenda views only show upcoming scheduled tasks (I globally have agendas not show done scheduled or deadline items). After org-icalendar--combine-files does its stuff, and works correctly, but my agendas suddenly have items such as "Sched.11x: DONE do something", despite it being a DONE task that I marked as complete over a week ago. Any idea why org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done is seemingly being overridden to nil? I have tried explicitly setting this value to true for the custom agenda view, but it doesn't help. Any idea what's going on here? Cheers, Chris [1]: https://github.com/chrispoole643/org-gtd/blob/443d43879d944bcec47af0ddac3d542bce6b2269/org-gtd.el#L146

The code is here: https://github.com/chrispoole643/org-gtd/blob/dcfe7122fa496de51a8de3a8f02184bc7aec05b9/org-gtd.el#L143 Essentially, the icalendar function that combines the agendas and exports stuff just calls a function that happens to accept a restricted list of items to export. So, I use this function directly, but first I look through my agenda files and mark where the scheduled tasks are. I then pass these as the restricted list, and all works well :) Thanks for the help, Chris

[O] How to find the headline matching a string
Hi all, Suppose I have a string, "my first task", that I know is tagged with "laptop". I want to search through the agenda files for a headline that matches this string, to be able to mark it as DONE (in an automated fashion). I can't find a function to search through for the headline --- is there one? Else, is it best to concat all the agenda files into a larger buffer, then parse the buffer and iterate through the headlines with org-element-map? Cheers, Chris
[O] Filter tasks when exporting to iCalendar
Hi, I'm trying to filter tasks such that only tasks that aren't done, but are scheduled or have deadlines, are exported to iCalendar. I have this so far: (setq org-icalendar-use-scheduled '(todo-start) org-icalendar-use-deadline '(todo-due) org-icalendar-include-todo t org-icalendar-include-body nil org-icalendar-alarm-time 15 org-icalendar-with-timestamps 'active) (defun gtd-filter-scheduled-todo-tasks (data backend info) "Filter iCalendar export to include only TODO tasks that are not done, but which are scheduled or have a deadline." (when (eq backend 'icalendar) (org-element-map data 'headline (lambda (hl) (when (or (not (equal 'todo (org-element-property :todo-type hl))) (equal "DONE" (org-element-property :todo-keyword hl)) (not (or (org-element-property :scheduled hl) (org-element-property :deadline hl (org-export-ignore-element hl info))) info) data)) (defun gtd-export-agendas-and-calendar () "Store agenda views as plain text files, and export scheduled events to a combined iCalendar file. Filter the calendar using `gtd-filter-scheduled-todo-tasks', only allowing tasks that aren't DONE, but are scheduled." (interactive) (org-store-agenda-views) (let ((org-export-filter-parse-tree-functions '(gtd-filter-scheduled-todo-tasks))) (org-icalendar-combine-agenda-files))) But it leaves an empty calendar.ics file. Anyone know where I'm going wrong? I assume that org-export-ignore-element is updating `info' in place. I can't work out why it's not working... Cheers, Chris
Re: [O] Export to iCalendar only not DONE, scheduled tasks?
That's very helpful, thanks — I'll get experimenting. Cheers, Chris

I have this, but it doesn't work: (defun filter-scheduled-todo-tasks (content backend info) "Filter iCalendar export to include only TODO tasks that are not done, but which are scheduled or have a deadline." (when (eq backend 'icalendar) (if (and (org-entry-is-todo-p) (not (org-entry-is-done-p)) (or (org-get-scheduled-time (point)) (org-get-deadline-time (point content nil))) ... called with: (let ((org-export-filter-final-output-functions '(filter-scheduled-todo-tasks))) (org-icalendar-combine-agenda-files)) I have (setq org-icalendar-include-todo t) too. Using edebug, it seems that the `content' argument only iterates through the top-level headings of each of my agenda files. I was assuming it'd iterate through each subheading too --- do I need to do this manually?

On Tuesday, May 6, 2014, Bastien wrote: > (setq org-icalendar-include-todo t) I tried that, but it has the unfortunate effect of adding all my TODO entries into the calendar. I want unscheduled TODO items to be in tags-todo lists only (for @contexts in GTD parlance), and scheduled TODO items to appear in the weekly agenda and iCalendar files. (And nothing else going to iCalendar.) I have been able to set everything up except for the last piece in parentheses above. Any other thoughts? Cheers, Chris
[O] Export to iCalendar only not DONE, scheduled tasks?
Hi, I've been searching round the manual, and blogs, to find a way to do this. I want to export all of the scheduled/deadline tasks that are not in a DONE state to an iCalendar file. Can this be done? Cheers, Chris
Re: [O] Update from exported agendas?
The only way I can think of doing it is, for each completed task out of the exported file, pull up the agenda view (that corresponds to that file), find that item, and mark it as DONE. Perhaps have this action on the opening of any file in the org-agenda-files list. I was just hoping it might have already been done so I don't have to start from scratch, seems like a logical thing --- presumably people just manually open up the agenda view for what they've just done away from the laptop, and mark things done, again... (Incidentally, I actually wrote this functionality years ago (and it'd also switch the next TODO task to NEXT), in a GTD library I made for myself, but recently decided to switch to org mode, as it has a ton of advantages to my simple system. I'm now seeing if I can build a GTD layer on top of org mode, to provide a kind of automatic setup for those new to org-mode, who want to use it with the GTD methodology.)

[O] Update from exported agendas?
Hi, I export my agenda custom views to plain text, so I can check things off as I go (without access to Emacs). I use `(org-agenda-prefix-format " [ ] ")` so I can easily add an "X" with my text editor on my phone. Is there any way to have this update the todo items that the exported agenda file was created from? (Say, changing NEXT state to DONE.) Cheers, Chris
[Orgmode] Re: //WAITING shows //NEXT too...
Thanks. Yes, I have done this. Just realised that it loads the items first in load-path, and later ones don't supersede. So used cons, not append, to get org mode in ~/ emacs to load first, before packaged one. Newest org mode loads, and the bugs are gone. Thanks.

Hmm, slightly strange. I've also been editing my .emacs and ~/emacs structure, so tested out the latest version of org-mode using a stock Emacs, without any of my customisations. This is why I reported that it worked above. I've now tried it back with all my .emacs customisations, and the same error occurs.

Thanks. I've loaded the latest version of org-mode (was using 4.xx bundled with Emacs), and it's working fine now, so I guess it was fixed or something. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] //WAITING shows //NEXT too...
Hi, I'm not sure if this is a bug or just some feature I don't understand, but I can't find mention of it elsewhere. I'm trying to implement GTD with org-mode. I have special TODO keywords set, NEXT WAITING DONE. If I do C-c\ to have it ask for tags or TODO keywords (to produce lists for me), I may enter //WAITING, to see all items I'm waiting for. Doing so and I get, for example * Someday/Maybe... * Projects... ** My first project *** WAITING some thing I want done *** NEXT something I should do :computer: * Reading... Clearly, the NEXT item shouldn't be there. This also occurs if I do a search for //NEXT items... I get a nice list (this time not showing my WAITING items), but in places where I have a *** NEXT item, it also shows any next *** item for that project too (though there is no NEXT tag here). (I apologise if these are two separate issues.) Anyone know what's going wrong, or what I'm doing wrong? Thanks. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
