Re: Custom block agendas: Set buffer name

[Nathan Neff]

I found it in this section of the docs:

https://orgmode.org/manual/Setting-options.html#Setting-options

I had unbalanced parenthesis in Feb. and gave up.  I was finally able to find the right

place to put the options for all the commands (see org-agenda-buffer-name) below.

I create variables and used functions to modularize my code - otherwise the parenthesis 

become unbearable IMHO.

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands '())

(defun njn-define-block-agenda()

    (setq njn-agenda '(("h" "Agenda and Projects (Home)" 

        ((agenda )

         (tags "-projectA-projectB-projectC/next\|started" ((org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date nil)))

         (tags "projectA-inactive/-cancelled-done"

            ((org-agenda-prefix-format " %?-12t% s")

             (org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote (priority-down)))))

         (tags "projectA-inactive/-cancelled-done"

            ((org-agenda-prefix-format " %-16(njn-get-proj-property) %?-12t% s")

             (org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance (remove "projectA" org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance))

             (org-agenda-group-by-property "PROJ"))))

         ((org-agenda-buffer-name "Home")))))

    (setq org-agenda-custom-commands (append njn-agenda org-agenda-custom-commands)))

(njn-define-block-agenda)

I realize this is opening a can of worms -- does anyone have recommendations for formatting

Lisp code?  The above code is legible for me *right now* but in about 3 months the code will once

again be a paren-fest.

Thanks,

Hello all,

I'm playing with block agendas and I'm wondering how to set a specific buffer

name.

In non-block agendas, I can set the buffer name like this:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands (append

  '(

     ("p" "Simple list of active projects" tags-todo "PRIORITY<\"C\"+project-inactive/-cancelled-done"

       ((org-agenda-prefix-format " %?-12t% s")

        (org-agenda-buffer-name "Top Level Active Projects")

        (org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote (priority-down)))))

But I can't find where to specify org-agenda-buffer-name in a custom block agenda - for example, 

in the docs:

https://orgmode.org/manual/Block-agenda.html

Where would I add the org-agenda-buffer-name?

Thanks,
