You likely have a mixture of old and new files (what I call a
"frankenstein install"): calendar-generate-window calls
window-combined-p in the current version, and there is no
window-combination-p function, which leads me to believe that you have
old calendar code.

I recommend a thorough cleaning, rebuilding and reinstalling of
emacs. You might want to try a restart of emacs first just to see if it
works, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Well, it was a complete new rebuild from git. I'll delete the lot and
try again, but a complete remake shouldnt exhibit this behaviour and I
have no local debian version installed either. cheers, r.

[I presume that you are rebuilding emacs, correct?]

Are you doing a ``make bootstrap''?

After the build, can you do just M-x calendar?

Limit todo window

[Richard Riley]

Whats the best way to limit the window that agendas use to show open
todo items? e.g when I do C-c a a I dont want to see TODOs set for a
years time - generally I might only want things in the current week or
so. is there something built and instantly configurable to achieve this?

org-agenda-span - also make sure to get rid of any settings of
the obsolete variable org-agenda-ndays. The default is week however,
so unless you've customized something, you should not see a year's
worth of TODOS (I shudder at the thought...)

Hi Nick,

I was being dense. I wasnt seeing the TODOs per se, but the creation of
them! (I tag all items with a created date so they appear in a journal
and I easily track creation of all org items). So yes, the span is the
correct variable that I had previously thought not working...

cheers

Capturing to current file

[Marvin Doyley]

Hi there,

I am trying to create a thought bin related to a specific project
(org-file, where I perform all my writing task).
My idea is very simple,  if an idea, todo item related to the project
i am working on,  which is usually the case, I would like to  file it
under a specific heading within the same file rather than a master
file.

Any thoughts on how to do this ?

Thanks
M

Oh yes, take a look on http://orgmode.org/org.html#Capture-templates
where you can define target files for your item.

Is it documented on how to achieve what the op requested? Namely to
store the notes in the current file? Would that be a use for the
function-finding-location?

I couldn't really tell what the OP requested, but if it is indeed
storing the capture in the current file, the answer is "that can be
done".  AFAIK, it's not documented anywhere except on the mailing list
though - see

   http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/35759/focus=35781

Something like this (untested):

(setq org-capture-templates
'(                   
  ("X" "test" entry (file+headline (buffer-file-name (org-capture-get :original-buffer)) "Tasks") "* TODO %?
  %U %a %n" :prepend t)))

Can you capture to the header just above the current header?

Re: Capturing to current file

I thought that the manual states to capture a TODO to the current file 
use /C-0 (zero) then proceed with the capture. I use this frequently.

Am I missing something in the question?

Probably not - I just didn't know about this method. It's not quite a
capture (no indirect buffer, no finalize) but that hardly matters. And
perhaps it also does what Samuel Wales asked about, since the template
can be inserted anywhere at all.

BTW, I only found this with C-h f org-capture, not in the manual.

Thanks for the pointer,
Nick

Re: Capturing to current file

The only thing it needs is to insert above the current headline if you
are in body text.

org-capture-insert-template-here won't do that by itself: it will insert
it *here*, but it's up to you to make sure that *here* is the right
place.

If there is a place in the manual that it should be documented, can
you please point at this place and suggest a change?

Re: Capturing to current file

[Charles]

If I may I'll throw in my 2 cents, since I made the error in the first place

Why not in Section 9.2.1 immediately before or after the "special way" 
for using capture from the agenda?

The documentation reads as follows in org-capture.el at

(defun org-capture (&optional goto keys)
   "Capture something.
\\<org-capture-mode-map>

.  .  .

When called with a `C-0' (zero) prefix, insert a template at point.
  .  .  .

Correction to my 4/20

The Org Manual section I suggest for the additional documentation is 
9.1.2, not 9.2.1

I added this in 9.1.2:

To insert the capture at point in an Org buffer, call @code{org-capture} with
a @code{C-0} prefix argument.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Well thank you all for the discussion at least. I've been using Org Mode for 2+ years, didn't know this, and it is now my favorite “feature” :)
