I'm trying to build a custom agenda that works with the current buffer.

I've succeeded in getting the agenda to display with the
current buffer like this:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      (quote (
         ("c" "Current Buffer" agenda "" ((org-agenda-files (list
(buffer-file-name)))))
         ("f" "Home Buffer" agenda "" ((org-agenda-files
'("~/Documents/personal/nate.org"))))
         )
      )
)

However, when I view the agenda for the current buffer (by pressing "c",
every key I press gives me "Wrong type argument: stringp, nil".

The "Home Buffer" custom command above works fine.

I know that you can easily restrict the agenda to the current file by
pressing "<" in the
dispatcher, but I'm just hacking around and seeing how org-mode and lisp
works.

I'm using a bare-bones org-configuration:

Emacs  : GNU Emacs 23.1.93.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.8.0, NS
apple-appkit-949.54)
 of 2010-03-09 on braeburn.aquamacs.org - Aquamacs Distribution 2.0preview5
Package: Org-mode version 6.35 (release_6.35g.25.g609e.dirty)

current state:
==============
(setq
 org-export-latex-after-initial-vars-hook '(org-beamer-after-initial-vars)
 org-agenda-custom-commands '(("c" "Current Buffer" agenda ""
((org-agenda-files (list (buffer-file-name)))))
                  ("f" "Home Buffer" agenda ""
                   ((org-agenda-files (quote ("~/Documents/personal/nate.org
")))))
                  )

I fixed it!  I found a fairly slick workaround for the problem.
Before calling (org-agenda), I set a variable called
njn/current-buffer-file-name, and refer to that variable in my custom agenda
view.

(defun njn/org-agenda ()
  (interactive)
  (setq njn/current-buffer-name (buffer-file-name))
  (org-agenda)
)

I have an example of the fixed and broken custom agenda commands below:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(
         ("c" "Current Buffer" agenda ""
           ((org-agenda-files (list njn/current-buffer-name)))
         )
         ("x" "This doesn't Work.  It gets the right data, but wont
      let you issue any other agenda commands" agenda ""
           ((org-agenda-files (list (buffer-file-name))))
         )
       )
)

Instead of calling (org-agenda), I just call (njn/org-agenda)

(global-set-key (kbd "<f5>") 'njn/org-agenda)

Thanks,
