[O] Bug with org-agenda-span & org-agenda-start-day
Hello: I am trying to setup a block in one of my Agenda views for coming up events in the next 7 days. I have org-agenda-start-day set to "+1d". However, it is not working- the block keeps starting on Sunday of the current week. If I set org-agenda-start-day to anything but "7", it works. I am using the current git version of org-mode (7.8.11). Thanks.

I'm not sure to understand what is wrong and how org-agenda-span is involved in the problem. Can you explain a bit more? Thanks, -- Bastien

I have set org-agenda-start-day to "+1d" in the block. If I set "org-agenda-span" to anything but "7" (for example "6" or "8"), the resulting agenda view is correct and the start day is tomorrow (and span the number of days I specified). However, if I set org-agenda-span to "7", the resulting agenda view does not start tomorrow, but the Sunday of the current week.

You need to add (org-agenda-start-on-weekday nil) to the list of properties for this agenda view. See the docstring of `org-agenda-start-on-weekday' for details. HTH, -- Bastien

Thanks. I spoke too soon. I tried it out and this is not working. For example today is Monday, Aug. 27. If I set the agenda span to anything but "7" or "week", it works- the start date is "Aug. 28" (I even tried "month" and "year"). This works even if "org-agenda-start-on-weekday" is non-nil (my "org-agenda-start-on-weekday" is set globally to "0"). However, if I set it to either "7" or "week", the start day in the agenda is Sunday, Aug. 26. This is really strange. Cheers, Charles -- Sigh.

Remember you need to add (org-agenda-start-on-weekday nil) to the list of properties for this agenda view. I suspect the user naturally expects `org-agenda-start-day' to override `org-agenda-start-on-weekday' -- and since `org-agenda-start-on-weekday' is often set globally, maybe that's the correct expectation. still, being able to set (setq org-agenda-start-day "+10d") and have the whole week displayed starting with `org-agenda-start-on-weekday' is useful. What do you think? -- Bastien

To be clear, here is the agenda command I tested:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("R" "Testing"
((agenda
"Week starting tomorrow"
((org-agenda-start-on-weekday nil) ;;; here
(org-agenda-start-day "+1d")
(org-agenda-span 7)))
(agenda
"Week starting on monday"
((org-agenda-start-on-weekday 1);;; here
(org-agenda-start-day "+1d")
(org-agenda-span 7)))
See where I changed the value for (org-agenda-start-on-weekday 1).
HTH,

Sorry for the noise. I traced my problem to adding a "null" to the variable "org-agenda-start-on-weekday" in a "Any Variable" entry in "Configure custom Agenda Commands".
