Hi all,

I'm still new to elisp, so forgive me if I am missing something obvious...

I would like to make an orgmode active time-stamp from within a custom
function I am writing. I have looked at `org-time-stamp' but do not see a
way to call this in a *non-interactive* fashion from my code. Inside
`org-time-stamp' I was looking for a "core time-stamp function" that the
interactive functions would call... but could not make one out. Is there a
function already defined that when called will make a time-stamp with
default values?

If not, can someone point out the lines of code inside `org-time-stamp' that
I can duplicate in my own code?

I would prefer not to have to make a macro.

Thank you,
Zachary

Hi all,

Sorry, I did some more digging right after I sent this, and found the
following in org-remember.el:

(ct (or org-overriding-default-time (org-current-time)))
(format-time-string (car org-time-stamp-formats) ct)

So, there it is.

Thank you,
Zachary

Hi Zachary,

You probably want something like org-insert-time-stamp.

I use this to insert inactive timestamps in buffers like this:

(defun bh/insert-inactive-timestamp ()
  (interactive)
  (org-insert-time-stamp nil t t nil nil nil))


If you change the third parameter from t to nil it gives you active
timestamps.

See the docstring for more details.

HTH,
Bernt

Hi Brent,

Thank you very much for pointing that function out. I am still learning how
to use apropos and just found about `C-u apropos' which shows that function
when `apropos' did not.

Anyway, much easier than my hack.

Thank you,
Zachary
