Repeat time ranges

Repeat time ranges

[Nicolas Aggelidis]

hi org-users!

i 'am having the following problem. I have some activities that i
organize like this:


* University calendar
** Class 1 <2009-10-12 Mon 15:00>-<2009-10-12 Mon 16:00>

what i want to do, is have this time range repeat itself every week
for 13 occurrences.

Is this possible? at least is it possible to have the time range
repeat itself indefinitely, like with

** Class 1 <2009-10-12 Mon 15:00 +1w>


best regards,
nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

I think org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift was implemented exactly for this use case:

     (org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift n &optional shift)

     Clone the task (subtree) at point n times.
     The clones will be inserted as siblings.

     In interactive use, the user will be prompted for the number of clones
     to be produced, and for a time shift, which may be a repeater as used
     in time stamps, for example `+3d'.

     When a valid repeater is given and the entry contains any time stamps,
     the clones will become a sequence in time, with time stamps in the
     subtree shifted for each clone produced.  If shift is nil or the
     empty string, time stamps will be left alone.

hth,
	Stephan

You can use a diary sexp. See the following FAQ. It contains a solution
for an example almost exactly like yours above:
