[O] How not to show repetitive tasks in the TODO items of agenda view

2014-01-23 Thread Chaitanya Krishna
Hello there,
Maybe someone has already come across this problem. Any help is appreciated.

I have some repetitive tasks which I schedule using the deadline approach.

TODO Search for house
DEADLINE: 2014-01-26 Sun +1w

* Birthdays
TODO Abc Abc
DEADLINE: 2014-01-26 Sun +1y

The problem is that all the birthdays and repetitive tasks are cluttering
my view in agenda TODO items (C-c a t).

Is it possible to make these items show up only in the agenda view (C-c a
a) and not in the TODO items list (C-c a t)

Best regards,
Chai

You could just take a normal active timestamp instead of a DEADLINE for
the birthdays. Something like this:

* Birthdays
TODO Abc Abc
2014-01-26 Sun +1y

You could try define a custom agenda command to show all TODO items
except those with deadlines.

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
  '((t TODOs without deadlines alltodo 
 ((org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'deadline))

Try that for a start.
