Marking items done in the past

Marking items done in the past

[Noah Slater]

Hello,

I have a number of habits set up that I regularly fill in the day
after the activity was done. Is there a way to mark an item as done
(in a way that hooks into the habits stuff) but for a day in the past?

So instead of doing C-c C-t d (I have "d" set up as "DONE") I could
get a prompt which asked me for a date.

Something like that anyway.

Thanks,

Changing the LOGBOOK, and LAST_REPEAT would not be that difficult, 
since you could use something like:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (org-entry-put nil "LAST_REPEAT" (concat "[" (org-read-date) 
  "]")) 
#+END_SRC

But changing the SCHEDULED and the 'State "DONE" from "TODO"' part 
would be more complicated. For example I think one would need to 
modify the function org-auto-repeat-maybe to be able to ask for a 
time. Checking at the code of this function the SCHEDULED part 
doesn't look that complicated, but I couldn't understand what 
produces the 'State "DONE" from "TODO"'

Does any of the org-gurus have an idea?

Best,

How about org-(agenda-)todo-yesterday ?

Org-todo-yesterday broken?

[Nikolay Kudryavtsev]

Hello.

org-todo-yesterday and org-agenda-todo-yesterday do not seem to work in 
all recent versions of org that I've tried.

Also is there a version of them that allows to input a custom date?

I'd guess this is because org-use-effective-time is set to nil (based on
this previous issue [1]).  Setting it to non-nil should work, but I
think org-todo-yesterday and org-agenda-todo-yesterday should override
this, as in the attached patch.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] org-todo-yesterday: Ignore org-use-effective-time

* lisp/org.el (org-todo-yesterday): Ignore global org-use-effective-time
value.

* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-todo-yesterday): Ignore global
org-use-effective-time value.

Otherwise, if org-use-effective-time being nil, org-extend-today-until
will not be considered, resulting in the current time being used instead
of 23:59 yesterday.
