Hello, I am interested in having Planner auto-populate the Diary section of my day pages with a list of daily chores (cleaning the litterbox, washing dishes, etc.). My initial attempt was to add lines in my .diary file like "Monday Wash the dishes". This plan worked, but I did not forsee the problem of having "planner-diary-number-of-days" set greater than one: every day's plan page is populated with the whole week's worth of chores (since I have it set to 7 days). While this is exactly correct behavior, it is very cluttered and not what I want. ;-)
My preference would be for "normal" diary events (appointments, birthdays, etc.) to get populated into the daily Diary section 7 days before the event, and also for "chores" diary events to be populated only for the current day. I don't see a way of getting planner-diary to make that kind of distinction, so I'm trying to figure out alternatives. Is there a better way to get a single day's worth of cyclical, non-recurring events into my daily plan pages? At this point, I'm thinking of further customizing the "planner-daily-template" function to go snarf lines out of a separate file based on the day of the week that "planner-today" is. While doable, this would be a lot of work, and I'm completely open to doing this a different way. As an aside, if I do wind up writing a "planner-daily-template" function to handle this, where would be a good place for me to publish it? Post it back to the mailing list in its entirely? Post a blog entry with the code, and mail a link to the list? Add it to a wiki somewhere? I like to contribute documentation back where I can. :-) Thanks in advance for the help! - Adam Compton _______________________________________________ Planner-el-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/planner-el-discuss
