Secondary filtering and query editing within daily/weekly agenda

Secondary filtering and query editing within daily/weekly agenda

I want to filter my daily/weekly agenda to only show certain tags.  The manual says "/" will prompt for secondary filtering.  When I try it, however, I get a "buffer is read only" message.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Buck

Is it possible that you are running an older version of org-mode? You
can type M-x org-version to find out. The current version is 6.34, and I
believe that filtering was introduced in 6.06b.

That was the problem.  Thanks, Matt.

There is no way to filter by TODO state. One way to achieve the same
effect, however, is to set the variable org-todo-state-tags-triggers,
which causes tags to be added to (and removed from) an item
automatically when you switch to a particular todo state. 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    (setq org-todo-state-tags-triggers
	  '(
	    ("STARTED" 
	     ("NEXT" . t) 
	     ("WAITING" . nil)
	     )
	    ("WAITING" 
	     ("WAITING" . t)
	     ("NEXT" . nil)
	     )
             ))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The above setting adds a :NEXT: tag whenever the todo state is
switched to STARTED and a :WAITING: tag whenever the todo state is
switched to WAITING. These tags can then be filtered.

Best,
Matt
