Using org-diary

Using org-diary

[Stephen J. Barr]

Greetings org-mode,

I am trying to use org-class to put in my regularly scheduled
events. The following snippet is my attempt to put in a regularly
scheduled Monday-evening event. This is in a file that is included in my
org-agenda-files, yet when I look at my agenda, this does not show up!

########################################

*** Teaching
    <%%(org-class 2014 1 6 2014 3 10 1 1)> 7:00pm-8:30pm

########################################

I would appreciate any advice on this.

Thanks,
Stephen

Tested it with a minimal .enacs and it works fine for me:

Org-mode version 8.2.4 (release_8.2.4-410-ge23bbd)

What I am now seeing is that the particular date gets picked up, but not
the time. Am I doing something incorrect with the syntax?

Best,
Stephen

No, I believe that's a limitation of what you can do with these
diary-sexps.

You can always add the time to the headline: that way it'll appear in
the agenda (but not in the grid, if you use that, and not sorted
correctly - the time is just a label):

*** Teaching 7:00pm-8:30pm
   <%%(org-class 2014 1 6 2014 3 10 1 1)>

So, from a broader perspective, perhaps this org-class stuff is not the
right way to go. I am also noticing that the icalendar-export does not seem
to be exporting these diary-sexps anyway. Perhaps I can
use org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift to do most of what I want.

Best,
Stephen

Try this:

*** Teaching
%%(org-class 2014 1 6 2014 3 10 1 1) 07:00-08:30 Teaching

That's what I find works for me.

Does it work if you put the time before the healine text, as the manual
implies (section on time stamps)?  As in

*** 7:00pm-8:30pm Teaching 
    <%%(org-class 2014 1 6 2014 3 10 1 1)>

Actually, this does get inserted correctly, i.e. time sorted.

I think that iI figured it out. I was transposing the last two arguments
for some of the cases. Just curious, in the documentation for org-class,

(org-class Y1 M1 D1 Y2 M2 D2 DAYNAME &rest SKIP-WEEKS)

what is &rest ?

Thanks,
Stephen

See

   (info "(elisp) Other Features of Argument Lists")

,----
|    To specify optional arguments that may be omitted when a function is
| called, simply include the keyword `&optional' before the optional
| arguments.  To specify a list of zero or more extra arguments, include
| the keyword `&rest' before one final argument.
