[Orgmode] appointment implement variable warning time
Hi, I use appointment with org. I find that a global time delay for each appointments is inconvenient. For example I need to be warned an hour before an appointment downtown and only 5 minutes for a meeting at work. I have hacked appt.el to keep track of a delay for each appointment. The function appt-add is compatible with the old appt. It should be applied after the feature freeze of emacs. You can download the new version from my website http://kanis.fr/blog-emacs.html Now I would like to hook this change this with org. I don't think it would be a good idea to extend the timestamp as it's already pretty complex. How could I add the number of minute in an entry in a way that's not obtrusive?

Re: [Orgmode] How to change CREATED property value to inactive in org-expiry

I also do not understand in which Manish situations does an active timestamp for CREATED property make Manish sense. David I recently started to patch org-expiry.el and enabling inactive David timestamps was the first thing I patched. The modified version David is on the expiry+ branch in a copy of org-mode @github.com: David David http://github.com/dmj/org-mode/tree/expiry+ David David I hope I got the git-things rights this time so fetching and David merging it with a local branch of the original should work.

David David To enable inactive timestamps when using the expiry+ branch David simply set the variable `org-expiry-inactive-timestamps' to t. Works as advertised. :) Hope the patch makes it to org-mode soon. Hi, Please contact Bastien about this. - Carsten ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Can we make a refloc programmatically?
I find that when I'm refiling my MobileOrg tasks, I almost always want them to go to one particular place (my master todo list). I'd like to make a command that refiles to that location, specifically. The closest I've been able to get to this is to bind the org-refile-targets dynamic variable around a call to org-refile. This gives me a single candidate location, which I get if I press the tab key for completion. But it seems wrong to have to press that tab key. I believe I could avoid that, if I could pass a rfloc argument to org-refile, but I'm not sure how to make one of these data structures (not for the first time, I wish that defstruct was in elisp...). Is there some function to which one could pass a filename and a header regexp? thanks, Robert ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] Re: Organizing a students live
Interesting. But too complex for now - and I actually do prefer local control. I know it is complex. I thought about the first steps I was thinking about a variable (list?) with predefined holidays or better omit-holidays such as org-omit-holidays we could add the omit dates in any place (add-to-list 'org-omit-holidays 25 Dec) (add-to-list 'org-omit-holidays 1 Jan) (add-to-list 'org-omit-holidays 1 May) etc. Then we could change (adapt) the function calendar-check-holydays from holidays.el I did a search-replace to something like this: (defun org-check-calendar-omit-holidays (date) Check the list of org-omit-holidays for any that occur on DATE. The value returned is a list of strings of relevant org-omit-holiday descriptions. The org-omit-holidays are those in the list `org-omit-holidays'. (let ((displayed-month (extract-calendar-month date)) (displayed-year (extract-calendar-year date)) (org-omit-holiday-list)) (dolist (h (calendar-org-omit-holiday-list)) (if (calendar-date-equal date (car h)) (setq org-omit-holiday-list (append org-omit-holiday-list (cdr h) org-omit-holiday-list)) with these adaptation we could use a slighly changed version of the diary-schedule function I sent before. I did not go further nor tested it. Thinking again now: I think it is better to avoid holidays than week numbers. The problem is that we have to decide which holidays are really holidays and not rely on the holidays variables that come with Emacs.

Re: [Orgmode] Announcing org-ruby
That's great! Thanks for sharing this. Have you mentioned org-ruby to the people at github. I know that they were looking for a tool with which to export README.org files in github repositories to HTML, but they felt that a full Emacs instillation was too large of a requirement. I bet they'd be interested in using org-ruby for this job. Also, would you mind adding this information to http://orgmode.org/worg/org-blog-wiki.php Thanks! -- Eric Brian Dewey bde...@gmail.com writes: I want to use org-mode files in one of the many Ruby static website generation tools (Webby, Webgen, Jekyll, etc.). Thus, I needed a way to extract simple HTML from an org-mode file without relying on emacs. Thus, org-ruby was born.
