Agenda view and timestamps

Agenda view and timestamps

[julien cubizolles]

Is there a way to make the agenda view display only the entries with a
timestamp ? I would need that for a block agenda.

Not tested but it should work.

Just tested, and it works perfectly. Thanks a lot, I would never have
come up with such an elaborate solution : my only experience of lisp
programming is parenthesis matching while adapting other
people's .emacs.

Another solution is to use the variable org-agenda-entry-types. This is
slightly more efficient, since it searches solely for timestamps when
creating the agenda, rather than considering all agenda types and then
filtering out everything that is not a timestamp.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
       '(("d" "With timestamps" agenda "List of tasks with a timestamp"
	  ((org-agenda-entry-types '(:timestamp))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best,
Matt

It works, thanks a lot. I don't know how I missed org-agenda-entry-types
while reading the doc.
