Agenda view with tags filter

Agenda view with tags filter

[Ivan Kanis]

Hello,

I have been using org modes for a while now and it's great.

I was wondering if it's possible to have an agenda view with a filter
on tags. Fox example I would like to have a daily agenda with only the
:home: tag item listed.

I looked at the manual and the source code but it doesn't seem
possible. Maybe I have missed something?

Kind regards,

I suspect you're using an old version of Org.  What version of Org are
you using?  

,----
| M-x org-agenda m 
`----

lets you match a TAGS query.  

If you want to store a tags search in a agenda custom command:

,----
| (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
|       '(("*" tags "home" nil)))
`----

This agenda command `*' will list all your entries tagged :home:

Maybe this will help:

  (info "(org)Storing searches")

Org-mode version 5.13h

Yes I am aware of this command, it lists all item matching tags. I
would like an agenda view with items that matches a specific tag. For
example a day view with only :office: items.

Ah, okay.  Maybe this will help:

(org-add-agenda-custom-command
 '("h" agenda ""
   ((org-agenda-skip-function 
     '(org-agenda-skip-entry 'notregexp ":home:"))
    (org-agenda-overriding-header "Agenda with :home: tag:"))))

BTW, "agenda view" might be a bit confusing.  Maybe we should use
"agenda view" for (agenda) only and "custom view" for other types 
of views.

Thanks for the tip, you code did not quite work for me. I think
org-agenda-skip-entry was missiong.

This works but I think it's bit ugly:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("h" agenda "home"
         ((org-agenda-skip-function
           (lambda()
             (org-agenda-skip-if nil '(notregexp ":home:"))))))
        ("o" agenda "office"
         ((org-agenda-skip-function
           (lambda()
             (org-agenda-skip-if nil '(notregexp ":office:"))))))))

I'll take any better ideas.

Sorry, typo.  Here is the correct version

(org-add-agenda-custom-command
 '("h" agenda ""
   ((org-agenda-skip-function 
     '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'notregexp ":home:"))
    (org-agenda-overriding-header "Agenda with :home: tag:"))))

Basically replace `org-agenda-skip-entry' (which doesn't exist) by
`org-agenda-skip-entry-if'.
