Subject: ical export: Still trying to clarify strange results
Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2014 10:10:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <530F00F6.60503@mkblog.org> (raw)

Hi,

I am turning again to the list, because after some extensive testing, 
reading the manual and googeling I am still not able to configurate the 
ical export the way I expect it to be. Sorry for the long post and sorry 
for bothering the list again, but I am hoping that someone might be able 
to help.

What I want is:

+ Export all TODO items with the beginning date set to the scheduled
   date in org mode.
+ Export also the deadlines in case of TODO items
+ If possible: Do not export DONE items at all

The resulting ical file I get displays:

+ For TODO entries DTSTART set to the timestamp an hour later (not to
   /scheduled/ date)
+ Deadlined items are included; the deadline is corre, the TODO date
   also set to the timestamp an hour later
+ state changes of entries (set to DONE) as DTSTART entry; as these are
   DONE I expected they would be skiped because of org-icalendar-
   include-todo set to /t/.

Obviously the date in SCHEDULED is not recognized. Did I miss the 
relevant variable to set (see my configuration below)?

I also tried to supress any logging of the change of TODO entries (which 
would not really solve my problem but seemed to me a way to clear the 
export from the state changes); in the emacs customization group 
/org-todo/ it is being said that /org-log-done/ set to /nil/ means 
"Don't add anything, just change the keyword", which does not work for 
me. Also the inbuffer setting /#+STARTUP: nologdone/ does not have any 
effect.

This is my testfile to export to ical:

--------------------------8<------------------------------------------
#+STARTUP:nologdone

* TODO A Scheduled Event
SCHEDULED: <2014-03-03 Mo 16:00>

This is the ical export:

And this is my config via /.custom/ as far as org-mode and ical-export 
are concerned (I tripple checked: no other customizations concerning the 
issue is involved):

--------------------------8<------------------------------------------
(custom-set-variables
  '(org-combined-agenda-icalendar-file "~/org/ical/org.ics")
  '(org-icalendar-categories (quote (todo-state)))
  '(org-icalendar-combined-name "OrgIcal")
  '(org-icalendar-include-body nil)
  '(org-icalendar-include-todo t)
  '(org-icalendar-use-deadline (quote (event-if-todo)))
  '(org-icalendar-store-UID t)
  '(org-icalendar-use-plain-timestamp nil)
  '(org-icalendar-use-scheduled nil)
  '(org-icalendar-with-timestamps nil)
  '(org-log-done nil))
--------------------------8<------------------------------------------

Maybe I am doing something terribly wrong. I would appreciate any hint 
to solve the problem or to do some more investigation.

Thanks
Martin
