Hi,
I have been investigating this and I think I could advice
org-clock-get-clock-string. I have never written advices to functions and I
don’t know org’s API.
Since I want to change the clock string only for repeating tasks, I have done
this, which just adds “Repeating” to the clock string when clocking a repeating
task:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun ocgcs (orig-fun &rest args)
"Advice for effort in repeating tasks"
(progn
(if (org-entry-get (point) "LAST_REPEAT")
(concat "Repeating"
(apply orig-fun args))
(apply orig-fun args))))
(advice-add 'org-clock-get-clock-string :around #'ocgcs)
#+END_SRC
What I would like to do now is getting the total time clocked today for the
task and then compare it to the Effot property value. I have found how to get
the total amount of time clocked for the task, but I don’t know how to limit
this to today.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
G.
