[O] Can I ask Which day is it? when filtering org-agenda views?
As preface, I'm aware that I may have gone too far down the rabbit hole. I'm inserting many time grid lines (one per half hour) into my agenda views so I have a visual sense of my free / busy time. But I want time grid lines that have already passed to disappear, freeing up screen real estate for later lines. This was pretty easy. I customized `org-agenda-time-grid' to give me a line at every half-hour interval. Then I set `org-agenda-before-sorting-filter-function' to return nil for time grid lines where the time-of-day text property is in the past. In case that description isn't clear, I'm using (apologies for Gmail formatting): (defun my:org-agenda-before-sorting-filter-function (org-agenda-item) (unless (and (string= (nth 1 org-agenda-time-grid) (get-text-property 0 'txt org-agenda-item)) ( (get-text-property 0 'time-of-day org-agenda-item) (string-to-number (format-time-string %H%M org-agenda-item)) As an unanticipated side effect, my function also throws out time grid lines when I view tomorrow (and other days) in the agenda view. Is there an additional check I can throw into my function to only filter if the day of the time grid line is today? I tried the obvious (get-text-property 0 'day org-agenda-item) but it seems that the day text property isn't put into the item until /after/ the filter-function gets a chance to process it. Alternatively, if my attempted solution is brain-damaged please let me know a better way to manage the time grid lines. -- Trevor Murphy GnuPG Key: 0xCB06EAAF

If I read the code correctly, the date of the item should be available to the function as the value of the dynamically bound variable date, in (month day year) form. So you should be able to compare that to today's date, obtained with (calendar-gregorian-from-absolute (org-today)) for example. Untested.

That's what I get for training myself to ignore dynamic variables. Thank you, this is precisely the suggestion I was looking for. -- Trevor Murphy GnuPG Key: 0xCB06EAAF
