Hello!
I'd like to specify that an event repeats weekly, but only for a month.
Ideally, I'd also be able to specify a time for the weekly event. Is
there currently a way to say "this event happens every Thursday in July
From 17:00-19:00"?
Given the new time range syntax from 4.78, I wonder if something like
the following might work
<2007-07-06--2007-26-31 17:00--19:00 +1w>
I changed the time range to also use -- as the range indicator to
provide some consistency across the date and time specifications. It's
fine with me if that changes back to 17:00-19:00.
Another option would be to use a diary sexp. I'm not aware of a
built-in diary function that accomplishes the above goal, but if anyone
can show me how to do this with a <%%()> timestamp I'd really appreciate
it.
Thanks,
/au

Hi Austin,
this is not supported, and I do not have plans to put it in. You
can either directly insert the several dates explicitly,
or define a repeating date and then just delete it once it is over.
If you really need this functionality,
I think it would be relatively easy to hack this, using a diary sexp
entry. Start with either diary-cyclic, or with diary-float, add
additional
arguments for the end date, and then see how dates are handled and
change the function to deal with the end date.
Hope this helps.
