Dashboard Agenda Span

[gs-101]

How do I lower the agenda's span? I prefer a single-day view for my agendas, as I tend to set-up habits and daily tasks so a weekly view just ends up filled with repeated tasks. I already set dashboard-week-agenda to nil, but today is 2024-11-26 and I'm seeing tasks for tomorrow, 2024-11-27.

Hi, this time "agenda for today" means entries with time between now and the next 86400 seconds (24 hrs).

You could define a new filter function like this:

(defun new-agenda-filter-function ()
  "Include entries with timestamps before the end of the day."
  (let ((entry-timestamp (dashboard-agenda--entry-timestamp (point)))
        (end-of-day (days-to-time (1+ (time-to-days (current-time))))))
    (unless (and entry-timestamp ;; ensure entry has timestamp
                 (time-less-p (current-time) entry-timestamp) ;; don't show past entries
                 (time-less-p entry-timestamp end-of-day))
      (point))))

Or similar to dashboard-filter-agenda-by-time, and then set dashboard-filter-agenda-entry to that function:

(setq dashboard-filter-agenda-entry 'new-agenda-filter-function)

Hope it works, I'm not sure about the end-of-day value.

Thank's, but it didn't work, I set it up like this:

(use-package dashboard-widgets
  :config
  (defun ricardorich/dashboard-day-agenda ()
    "Include entries with timestamps before the end of the day."
    (let ((entry-timestamp (dashboard-agenda--entry-timestamp (point)))
          (end-of-day (days-to-time (1+ (time-to-days (current-time))))))
      (unless (and entry-timestamp ;; Ensure that the entry has a timestamp
                   (time-less-p (current-time) entry-timestamp) ;; Don't show past entries
                   (time-less-p entry-timestamp end-of-day))
        (point))))
  :custom
  (dashboard-filter-agenda-entry 'ricardorich/dashboard-day-agenda))

I also evaluated the function individually with eval-last-sexp and used eval-expression for setq dashboard-filter-agenda-entry for good measure. But I think you may be right about end-of-day (Org Mode has the function org-today, maybe I could try that).

Besides that, I also tried setting a different name for the function, and opening regular Emacs (no daemon) as a sort of restart.
