Re: clocktable and :tags

[Kristofer Bergstrom]

Unfortunately, the :tags element of clocktable dynamic blocks does not
seem to be functioning properly.  Identical commands on Sebastian's
system worked fine.  The problem can be seen below in a test I'm
using.  Running C-c C-c while on the clocktable line updates the
timestamp in the clocktable, but the tags element is not being
evaluated.

Perhaps some emacs setting is causing issues?  I have tried commenting
out a few (possibly related?) entries in my .emacs file -- (setq
org-todo-keywords and (setq org-tag-alist -- but to no avail.

Or maybe I should upgrade to a newer version of org-mode?  I don't
know how to determine the current version I am using... I believe it
came preinstalled with Emacs23, which I installed from Ubuntu 9.04's
apt repositories.

Should I give up on getting :tags working and search for a workaround?

Using your example, it works fine here with the latest org-mode:

Type M-x org-version. 

Or in an org-mode buffer you can use the menu: 

  - Org --> Documentation --> Show version

Since the clock report is working fine here with an up-to-date org-mode,
I'd recommend trying the most recent release:

http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.tar.gz

Best,
Matt

Re: clocktable and :tags

[Kristofer Bergstrom]

Problem solved!  After upgrading from 6.21b to 6.36c, the :tags option
is now working!  Below is what I did to upgrade.

Thank you to Sebastian, Matt, Bernt, and sshelagh for help along the way!

Kris

wget http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.tar.gz
tar xzvf org-6.36c.tar.gz
sudo mv org-6.36c /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/
cd /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org-6.36c
following http://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html#Installation :
 edit the top four variables in "Makefile" as described in Makefile
 make
 make-install
restart emacs23

clocktable and :tags

[Kristofer Bergstrom]

I am trying to use the clocktable dynamic block to generate monthly
time reports for my work on a particular project.  I would like to
have a tally of how much time I spent on tasks labelled with the
":ON:ADMIN:" tag.  Looking at a post by Adam Elliott from when the
clocktable block was implemented, I think I'm on the right track, but
my tables do not seem to be affected by the ":tags" option at all.  Am
I doing something silly?

I don't use tags a lot here.  But from what I understand, ":ON:ADMIN"
are to tags: "ON" and "ADMIN".


> #+BEGIN: clocktable :tags "ON-ADMIN" :block thismonth :maxlevel 2 :scope file

There's a dash too much. Should be "ON ADMIN":

  #+BEGIN: clocktable :tags "ON ADMIN" ...


This works here. 


Best wishes

  Sebastian

Re: clocktable and :tags

[Kristofer Bergstrom]

Thank you very much for the input, Sebastian.  I tried without the
dash (and typed C-c C-x C-r to update the table) but the table still
includes items not tagged ON or ADMIN, as shown below.  I've tried
with and without colons, with and without the quotes, and have tried
other tags.  I've also tried mangling the :tags option completely like
":tagsasdf" and there is no effect.  It is as if the :tags modifier is
not being read at all.  The timestamp of the clocktable is updated and
the minibuffer shows the update completing.

Does :tags functionality depend on something elsewhere that I'm forgetting?

Use this line:

> #+BEGIN: clocktable :tags "ON ADMIN" :block thismonth :maxlevel 2 :scope file

...and just press `C-c C-c' when in that line.

Does that work?


Here it does. I get this result:
