Hi group,
I have got around 4 projects running at a time. As per philosophy of
GTD, sometime I get some TODOs, and without thinking much about them
at the time, I use remember package to just list them as a TODO in
correct Category. At the end of the day, I would like to have a list
of my unscheduled TODOs, of School Category separately. I am using a
custom agenda for this. But using org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date is
not working in the following form:
'(org-agenda-custom-commands
(quote (("t" "Today!!!"
((agenda "" ((org-agenda-ndays 1)))
(tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"School\"" (org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date 1 ))
(tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"CRS\"" nil)
(tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"Study\"" nil)
(tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"Practice\"" nil)
(tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"Reading\"" nil)
(tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"Other\"" nil))))))
As you might have guessed, I am pretty new to the world of emacs. If
you could look into this and let me know some better suggestion, I
would be grateful.
Thanks.
Saurabh.

Something like this perhaps. Untested.. but key takeaway is using the
org-agenda-skip-function.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
(quote (("t" "Today!!!"
((agenda "" ((org-agenda-ndays 1)))
(tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"School\""
(org-agenda-skip-function
'(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'deadline 'scheduled)))
(tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"CRS\"" nil)
(tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"Study\"" nil)
(tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"Practice\"" nil)
(tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"Reading\"" nil)
(tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"Other\"" nil))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks for the reply Manish.
But after I modify my .emacs, I get the following error on starting
the custom agenda:
byte-code: Before first headline at position 1462 in buffer *Org Agenda*
Could you please suggest something? I am unable to debug this.

Is this better?
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
(quote (("t" "Today!!!"

(tags "CATEGORY=\"School\""

Ditto.

Thanks Manish, now it works... like a charm.. :)
Another problem though..
Sometimes, the TODOs haven't been "scheduled" but have a timestamp on
them. I would like to ignore them too..
However, using option "with-date" along with "deadline" and "schedule"
does not seem to work in org-agenda-skip-entry. Is this option not
valid?
So, I have used a bad hack as: org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'regexp "<2"
As any entry with timestamp anywhere will have <2009- and so on. This
is working well as per my needs, though.
Regards,
Saurabh.

Pretty clever for someone who claims to be new to Emacs :-)
`with-date' does not exist, but I have just added `timestamp'
and `nottimestamp' conditions.

Thanks Carsten. Actually I am very new to emacs and have started
gaining an idea of elisp. I am just following all the tutorials
available around.
And I want to thank you personally for this awesome piece of software.

Saurabh.
