notes in the agenda

notes in the agenda

[Richard Riley]

Hi folks.

I have a "journal template" which puts an active timestamp in journal
entries so they appear in the default agenda.

However the default note taking C-c C-z does this too. This is fine
per-se but this means the note too appears in the agenda as shown here
from the following org excerpt:

,----
| *** 2012-04-29 Sunday
| **** STARTED need to check Mike spoke with vodafone for 3g stick cancellation.
|      SCHEDULED: <2012-04-30 Mon>
|      :LOGBOOK:
|      - Note taken on <2012-04-29 Sun 11:32> \\
|        Mike promised to call them night of  the 28th April
|      :END:
|            :PROPERTIES:
|            :DateCreated: <2012-04-29 Sun 11:30>
|            :END:
`----

Agenda:

Now, whats the easist way to either (a, preferably) have the second agenda item display
the *note* rather than the org item title or (b, prefer not) remove it
all together?

There is no way to do this right now.

I'd simply remove the timestamp from `org-log-note-headings', but I 
guess you don't want that.

Thanks! While displaying the note (or start of the note...) itself in
the agenda would be best (since notes are agenda/journal items in
themselves), just replacing the %T with %t in the template for now
avoids the duplicate agenda item.
