Hello
I tried to use org-collector with the example propose
at this link http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-collector.html
I would like to use propview as cited in example but whatever I do,
I get the outputs below.
* Example
#+BEGIN: propview :cols (ITEM amount)
| ITEM | amount |
|----------------------------------------+--------|
| "* Example" | 0 |
| "** December Spending" | 0 |
| "*** Week One" | 0 |
| "**** Grocery Store [2008-12-01 lun.]" | 0 |
| "**** Athletic club [2008-12-02 mar.]" | 0 |
| "*** Week Two" | 0 |
| "**** Restaurant [2008-12-08 lun.]" | 0 |
|----------------------------------------+--------|
| | |
#+END:
#+BEGIN: propview :id "december" :conds ((string= spendtype "food")) :cols
(ITEM amount)
| ITEM | amount |
|------+--------|
|------+--------|
| | |
#+END:
#+BEGIN: propview :cols (ITEM (+ 400 amount)) :scope tree :match "example"
| ITEM | (+ 400 amount) |
|----------------------------------------+----------------|
| "** December Spending" | 0 |
| "*** Week One" | 0 |
| "**** Grocery Store [2008-12-01 lun.]" | 0 |
| "**** Athletic club [2008-12-02 mar.]" | 0 |
| "*** Week Two" | 0 |
| "**** Restaurant [2008-12-08 lun.]" | 0 |
|----------------------------------------+----------------|
| | |
#+END:
** December Spending
:example:
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: december
:END:
*** Week One
**** Grocery Store [2008-12-01 Mon]
:PROPERTIES:
:amount: 56.77
:spendtype: food
:END:
**** Athletic club [2008-12-02 Tue]
:PROPERTIES:
:amount: 75.00
:spendtype: health
:END:
*** Week Two
**** Restaurant [2008-12-08 Mon]
:PROPERTIES:
:amount: 30.67
:spendtype: food
:END:
The item is not extracted as expected (there are "*" that are also
displayed corresponding of the level of entries) and the extracted
field is zero whatever of the effective value of this field (here
amount).
This is test with 8.3.4 and GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601).

I believe this is the same problem or bug I reported in April 2015!
Others have also brought attention it to this, but nothing has been done
to fix it.

This function interested me in order to produce subset of data in tabular
with search criteria included in properties field. I hoped to
use this kind of approach as a kind of database and possibly use one of
property field to include an information about a link to a file or the use
of attachment (if possible this way).
This function is in contrib folder. Is this status that makes it not
supported ?

Some are supported by their author, others are not. I think this library
is not maintained anymore.
In any case, could you provide an ECM (with an emphasized "M")? I'll try
to have a look at it.

Thank you.
In the first post I used the example proposed in the description of
org-collector that is accessible at this link.
http://orgmode.org/worg/sources/org-contrib/org-collector-example.org
With this example org-collector is able to gather in a table with the use
of propview in a #+BEGIN #+END block. To display the table, you have to use
C-c C-c in front of the #+BEGIN: instruction.
With the example proposed in the link the following results are displayed :
#+BEGIN: propview :id "december" :conds ((string= spendtype "food")) :cols
(ITEM amount)
| "ITEM" | "amount" |
|----------------------------------+----------|
| "Grocery Store [2008-12-01 Mon]" | 56.77 |
| "Restaurant [2008-12-08 Mon]" | 30.67 |
|----------------------------------+----------|
| | |
#+END:
With my actual configuration Org-mode 8.3.4 and GNU Emacs 24.3.1
(i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601), I get the following output :
#+BEGIN: propview :id "december" :conds ((string= spendtype "food")) :cols
#+END:
#+BEGIN: propview :cols (ITEM (+ 400 amount)) :scope tree :match "example"
| ITEM | (+ 400 amount) |
|----------------------------------------+----------------|
| "** December Spending" | 0 |
| "*** Week One" | 0 |
| "**** Grocery Store [2008-12-01 lun.]" | 0 |
| "**** Athletic club [2008-12-02 mar.]" | 0 |
| "*** Week Two" | 0 |
| "**** Restaurant [2008-12-08 lun.]" | 0 |
|----------------------------------------+----------------|
| | |
#+END:
The org-collector function is previously loaded with (require 'org-collector)

It should be ((string= SPENDTYPE "food")).

Here: (ITEM (+ 400 AMOUNT))
Properties are returned upper-cased by `org-entry-properties'.

Thank you.
I have just done the test and I have the following ouptut
#+BEGIN: propview :id "december" :conds ((string= SPENDTYPE "food")) :cols
(ITEM AMOUNT)
| ITEM | AMOUNT |
|----------------------------------------+--------|
| "**** Grocery Store [2008-12-01 lun.]" | 56.77 |
| "**** Restaurant [2008-12-08 lun.]" | 30.67 |
|----------------------------------------+--------|
| | |
#+END:
Which is nearly the same as the example provides :
#+BEGIN: propview :id "december" :conds ((string= spendtype "food")) :cols
(ITEM amount)
| "ITEM" | "amount" |
|----------------------------------+----------|
| "Grocery Store [2008-12-01 Mon]" | 56.77 |
| "Restaurant [2008-12-08 Mon]" | 30.67 |
|----------------------------------+----------|
| | |
#+END:
I don't know if it is possible to get rid of the stars for the ITEM
entries.
Thank you again. I will use org-collector again.

This is already the case in the development version.

Thank you for clarifying this. I just tried the example file again
(after changing all properties to upper-case) and it now works as
expected. (BTW I am using Org-mode version 8.3.4
(release_8.3.4-655-g9fb077 @
/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/org-mode/lisp/)

Please let me know what I am missing or if I am just plain nuts.
I copied the org-collector example into my scratchorg file. Before
executing he first propview block, I killed the following entry
**** Grocery Store [2008-12-01 Mon]
:PROPERTIES:
:amount: 56.77
:spendtype: food
:END:
I made sure that spendtype and amount in all other entries and in the
propview blocks were upper cased.
I made sure that the first propview block had no results so it was just
#+BEGIN: propview :id "december" :conds ((string= SPENDTYPE "food"))
:cols (ITEM AMOUNT)
#+END:
When executed (C-c C-c) the result still was
#+BEGIN: propview :id "december" :conds ((string= spendtype "food")) :cols (ITEM amount)
| "ITEM" | "amount" |
|----------------------------------+----------|
| "Grocery Store [2008-12-01 Mon]" | 56.77 | - how possible if there is no entry??????
| "Restaurant [2008-12-08 Mon]" | 30.67 |
|----------------------------------+----------|
| | |
#+END:
In the example is :id somehow "hardwired" into the expected results.
Please note that I also entered, not copied, the first propview block
(without the results) character by character into the buffer, executed
and the Grocery Store still showed up!
If I upper case ID, I get the expected results
#+BEGIN: propview :id "december" :conds ((string= spendtype "food")) :cols (ITEM amount)
| "ITEM" | "amount" |
|----------------------------------+----------|
| "Restaurant [2008-12-08 Mon]" | 30.67 |
|----------------------------------+----------|
| | |
#+END:
Should all options be upper cased as well? Or what should I read as to
:id properties?

Many thanks, I am going to use org-collector again.
It would be great if org-collector could implement kind of regular
expression in the research of string.
For example with the example provides for org-collector something like
:conds ((string= SPENDTYPE "health|food"))
to look for health or food
I don't even know if it possible and I don't have the skill in programming
to implement such function. Just an expression of a wish.
Thank you again.
