Re: [Orgmode] cannot enable org-habit

[Joseph Buchignani]

Scratch that, there is an easier way to test whether org-habit is activated. The reason K (uppercase) wasn't working for me was I thought the screen activated by C-a a beginning "Press key for agenda command" was the "agenda buffer". It is not. The agenda buffer shows your weekly schedule. Press K there. You should get a message that habits have been disabled/enabled. If not, org-habit is not working.

I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was looking for habit tracking in the wrong place. It shows up after the command C-a a a, not C-a a.

All I had to do to enable org mode was put (require 'org-habit) in my .emacs. I didn't need to add it to the modules list. I didn't need to alter my properties for the entry.

The only way I know to test whether org-habit is working is to look for a frequency bar on the schedule of your agenda generated by C-a a a. In order for this to show up, you have to have a habit that's scheduled for today. The bar just looks like colored background text on the rest of the line after the todo item. It will show your history with *'s and !'s. It uses the colors grey, purple, green, yellow and red.

I will reread the manual and learn more about using the module.

Thanks for the help!

I'm using Org-mode 7.01h with the latest Emacs snapshot in Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.

Please try using a property for the logging of the entry:

  :LOGGING:  NEXT(n) TODO(t) | DONE(d@) CANCELED(c@)
