Timestamps

[J. David Boyd]

Sorry everyone, I thought I saw this in the docs, but I can't find it now.

Is there someway to insert a timestamp, rather than a 'date' stamp?

Yup, there is:

C-u C-c .

I had to look that up myself.  It's 'C-u C-c .'.  You may want to look
up the option org-time-stamp-rounding-minutes also.

Thanks guys.  This is what I was looking for, and lead me to the corollary,
C-u C-c ! for making non-active timestamps with the time in them.

Hi,

I'm using orgmode 6.30d, under the OS Ubuntu 8.04 and the general idea is to
use it to log my work and i'm facing the following issues:

   - insert a constant timestamp (e.g. i forgot to insert an activity that i
   did yesterday, and i want to log it. Ican't insert a clock with previous
   start and end date)
   - change a timestamp inserted with a clock log in (e.g. i booked an
   activity to had started at 01:40PM but it actually started at 02:00 PM, how
   can i change it to have it delayed 20 minutes later)
   - export the org mode document with the clocks timestamp (e.g. i want to
   export the working log with all the timestamp both HTML and PDF but i have
   no success. The clock timestamps are not displayed in the output file)

I mentioned that i read all the manual and the advices given there don't
work.

Thank you very much for your help,
Rares

You can insert an timestamp with HH:MM by typing "C-u C-c !". 

Here is a *very simple* function I use to insert a clock line at point:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    (defun my-org-insert-old-clock ()
      "Insert a clock line interactively at point."
      (interactive)
      (open-line 1)
      (insert "CLOCK: ")
      (org-time-stamp-inactive t)
      (insert "--")
      (org-time-stamp-inactive t)
      (org-clock-update-time-maybe))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You can change a time stamp by using Shift and the arrow keys. S-left
and S-right move forward and backward by day. S-up and S-down change
individual elements of the clock (hour, minutes, etc.).

See manual section 8.2: "Creating timestamps."

Are your timestamps in a :LOGBOOK: drawer? If so, you can turn on the
inclusion of drawers in export by adding the following line to the top
of your file:

#+OPTIONS: d:t

Or you can set org-export-with-drawers to t.

Hope this helps.

Hi Matt,

It worked almost everything, with the exception of publishing and exporting.
That doesn't work only if i delete the CLOCK: string before the timestamp.

Here is the line:
 CLOCK: [2010-02-08 Mon 15:31]--[2010-02-08 Mon 16:32] =>  1:01

I searched through the doco but i didn't not find any solution, to export it
the way it is.

Can you give some more ideas?

Best regards,
RAres

Timestamps

[David Masterson]

Has the format for timestamps covering (say) a few hours changed?  The
following is still possible with "C-c .", but (I think) it is not
documented in the Org-Mode manual:

  <2021-11-27 Sat 10:30-12:30>

This seems to be the new standard:
  <2021-11-27 Sat 10:30>--<2021-11-27 Sat 12:30>

I think the new standard is better since it allows for work or an agenda
item to cross one or more Midnights.

If so, then the Org commands should be updated to follow the standard.

Not to mention the documentation.

My mistake -- it is in the (latest?) documentation of "Plain Timestamp"
under "Dates and Times".  Eyes are getting old.  ;-)

Both are valid. Maybe the manual needs some clarification. Would you
want to tackle it?
