Re: [O] Don't show future TODO items in the agenda

Hi Mark and Bastien, I have also been interested in this sort of functionality. This message made me dig a little and I think it's covered by the following: (setq org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled 'future) Basically, a global TODO list, but don't tell me about stuff that isn't due yet. .

[O] Problems with org-capture and file+function

Hi folks, I'm trying to figure out the proper use of the 'file+function' target. The documentation indicates the entry will be a child of the target entry, but I'm not finding that to be the case for all cases. As far as I can tell, the function is expected to put the point where the entry s

Re: [O] are super-hidden technical blocks required?

Hi Folks, I thought I'd throw in my 2c on the topic. I work on org-toodledo which syncs TODO items with Toodledo.com. On first sync, it creates adds a "ToodledID" property to track the ID assigned by the server. In my use case, that majority of TODO items have *no* other properties. As su

Re: [O] The Quantified Shower

Oh man, what a great post... But the mp3 links are broken! I really want to hear "The Shower Song w/hair". This makes me think of my obsession with finding the optimal order of tasks that I do in a given day. (I can save 5 seconds if I overlap rinsing the espresso cup with one hand while I f

Re: [O] are super-hidden technical blocks required?

Nice! I like this approach. The only slight change I would make is to the "All entries are unfolded one level". If there are only "hidden" properties but there is other content, show the other content but not the PROPERTIES drawer: * All entries are unfolded one level ** Only "hidden"

Re: [O] Capturing to a list in a dynamic 2nd level heading

Hi Simon, I have a capture template that does almost exactly that, I just use a user entered subheading -- should be easy enough to tweak for your task. When chosen as a capture option, it asks for a discussion context and looks up a 2nd level heading below "Discussion Items" matching that

Re: [O] org-link minor mode

This is pretty cool, Sean. One issue I'm having is that it does not properly handle "breaking" the link: "[[link][description]]" is displayed as "link", with the cursor after link. In org-mode, if I hit backspace, it deletes the trailing ']' and changes the display to "[[link][description]".

[O] Tab to indent plain lists

Hi Folks, I take miscellaneous meeting notes using plain lists. It's usually a pretty hectic trying to take notes during a meeting, so I'm making up the structure as I go along. I often get to a point where I indented an item wrong: - item 1 - item 1.1 - item 2 I need to get up to it

Re: [O] Multicolumn

Hi Erich, I have a hack for multicolumn support that may help... It's not great, but serves my purpose. I implemented a TWiki mode that uses orgtbl-minor-mode. TWiki pages support multicolumn cells by adding vertical bars with no separators: Display: | Multicol | | C1 | C2 | T

Re: [O] can't find org-version?

I'm the maintainer of the org-toodledo and the OP did indeed contact me first. org-toodledo effectively does: (require 'org) Then uses the variable org-version. This has worked just fine for a few years, but when the OP upgraded to 7.9, the org-toodledo function that checks the org-versio

Re: [O] can't find org-version?

So in version 7.8 and earlier, org-version is both a variable and a function. The function is not useful to coders because it displays the version string as a message: (org-version) "Org-mode version 7.8.03 (release_7.8.03.437.g60ca.dirty)" org-version "7.8.03" I used org-version as a variab

[O] Extract item body with drawers/properties

Hi Folks, Is there a function to extract the body of an item minus all the auxiliary information? * Item This is the text I want. And here is the second line. SCHEDULED: <2012-05-12> DEADLINE: <2012-05-13> :PROPERTIES: :foo: bar :END: And it's conceivable there is more below dr

[O] org-capture and org-link-type for Outlook mail messages on Mac OSX

Hi Folks, I thought I'd share a bit of hacking I've been doing over the last couple days. I had 2 basic needs: * create a TODO entry associated with an email message * include a clickable link back to that message in the entry For work email I use Outlook on a Mac. After some digging, I

Re: [O] org-capture and org-link-type for Outlook mail messages on Mac OSX

Ok -- just realized I had left in the selection of a custom org-capture-template which will likely not be in anyone else's config, so I made the org-capture-template configurable, and set to nil by default. Modified script below.. ...cj -- OutlookToEmacsOrg -- -- This script uses org-protocol

Re: [O] on the go capture

I use Toodledo (http://toodledo.com). I've been working on org-toodledo.el that syncs todo items between an org file and the toodledo server. There are multiple other toodledo clients including one for the iPhone / iPad that work nicely. The system works pretty well for my needs (todo list m

Re: [O] Org Mode TOOD two way sync tool

Hi Karra, I've been working on org-toodledo.el to perform bi-directional sync of TODO items with the Toodledo server, and faced many of the same issues you raise about figuring out the exact format and grammar of a TODO item. You may find looking at my source useful, either as inspiration, i
