Recurring TODOs and alreade done TODOs

Recurring TODOs and alreade done TODOs

[Friedericksen Hope]

Hello,

I habe a problem and a question. :-)

First the problem:
I would like to create some recurring TODO items. But for example, when I use
'C-c C-s 10-05-01 +1w' it just create the timestamp: 'SCHEDULED: <2010-05-01 Sat>'
I don't know why, because it is exactly like in the manual described. Do I have to enable recurring TODOs in the config?

My question:
Is there a way/function/option to automatically clear or archive old TODO-Items which are marked as DONE?

Thank you in advance!!

Best wishes,
Friedericksen

I believe you have to set recurring todos by hand---i.e., dive into the
org file and edit the SCHEDULED timestamp.

Here's one way to do it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my-org-archive-done-items ()
  "Archive all items marked done in the current file"
  (interactive)
  (org-map-entries
   '(org-archive-subtree-default)
   "/!+DONE" 'file))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best,
Matt
