Agenda view: On this day

Agenda view: On this day

[Klaus Thoben]

Hi everyone,
long time orgmode user, but never really did use the Agenda. Now, having
used Memacs quite a bit, I thought it would be handy to have an agenda
view that shows significant events related to the selected day from all
org files.

Does such a function exist already? Or can somebody help me out with
some Lisp code for that?

Thanks in advance,
Klaus

The org agenda viewer will display timestamped events from all files
listed in org-agenda-files.  Set the latter and invoke the agenda
(org-agenda, which is bound to C-c a for me) and select "a".  You can
then view any particular day you may wish.

To make this work for a number of files, Org has to be told which files to
look at.  The variable org-agenda-files can be customized to be a list of
all such files.

Hi and thanks,
the things you wrote I did already, maybe I didn't make myself clear
enough. What I envision is an extension to the
birthday/diary/anniversary function

This I already have:

> Monday     27 July 2020 W31
>   Birthday: Matthew Daniels (36th)
>   Birthday: Annie Rose (76th)

What I'd also like to see:

> Tuesday     28 July 2020 W31
>   Birthday: Matthew Daniels (32th)
>   Birthday: Annie Rose (67th)
>   This day in 2015: 0:05 lastfm: Under Pressure (Queen And David Bowie)
>   This day in 2015: 7:51 lastfm: Radio Ga Ga

Dear Klaus,

I am not aware of code that does that.
