I have a strange problem with timestamps with repeater intervals and
think I am doing something wrong.
I had assumed that entering in a new TODO item a timestamp like "oct
19 10:00 +14w" pressing C-c . would show the entry in the next 15
weeks including the day of tomorrow. In reality, the item shows up
*only* tomorrow, but not in the next 14 weeks.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Many thanks in advance,
Rainer

Repeating tasks have a time to happen next (I usually use scheduled time
for tasks, and active timestamps for appointments, but I am not sure
that matters). When you mark the task done, a repeating task will
automatically jump back to TODO with the repeated date.

That expression tells org to repeat that event every 14 weeks. If you
want a repeat entry with an end date, you will need to resort to diary
expressions (see diary sexps in section 8.1 of the manual).

In info: Org Mode -> Dates and Times -> Timestamps
third entry on that page mentions that you can use Emacs
calendar/diary sexp diary entries so you can then go to the
appropriate section in the Emacs info manual:
Emacs -> Calendar/Diary -> Advanced Calendar/Diary usage -> Sexp Diary Entries

Hi,
Is there a way to get timestamps that repeat (say weekly) up to a certain
date when it stops repeating? I have a weekly appointment that will only go
for the next 8 weeks and I don't want to have to input each appointment
separately and I don't want it cluttering up my diary beyond it's end date.
Cheers
Chris.

Thanks for trying to help out. I cannot discover any hint to how to
define an end date for repeater intervals there, though. It is
probably obvious to professional lisp programmers. But while I have
done some lisp programming, this is not really my field.
Many thanks again,
Rainer

Though you can't yet do this with org-mode timestamps, you can use a
diary sexp. Does the following FAQ help?

What is wrong (if you can call it that) is that the actual argument
list to the org-diary-class function depends on the settings of a
couple of variables: calendar-date-style and/or
european-calendar-style. As I have the former set to 'iso, in my case
I need to specify dates in the Y M D order:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* TODO Class 10:00am-12:00am
<%%(org-diary-class 2010 10 18 2011 2 12 3)>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
You may need to do the same.
I've cc-ed the org-mode list for others to be aware of this as well.

I have been wondering for many years: What was Edward M. Reingold
thinking when he made this horrible decision. I mean, local
dependencies when parsing plain text dates - I guess there is
no way around it. But in a function call? Sequence of arguments?
What?????

Thanks! You beat me to it. I was off-line most of yesterday
(examining a PhD student...) but had given myself a task for today to
update the FAQ. Glad you got to it before I did :-)
Thanks again,

In the same arena, I've noticed -- since I am on a Windows computer with
French locales, that I now have Frenchized abbreviations for the dates, in the
timestamps and in the agenda.
For example:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
CLOCK: [2010-10-26 mar. 09:14]--[2010-10-26 mar. 10:15] => 1:01
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
where `mar.' represents `Tue' (mardi, Tuesday).
Though, I must admit that the use of French abbreviations for the *week days*
is not always done: at some point in time, Org reverts to using English week
days abbreviations. But I still don't understand when, what's the cut-off
reason for the change in behavior.
Can you help, please?
My params are:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
In GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2009-10-14 on LENNART-69DE564 (patched)
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4) --cflags -Ic:/g/include'
Important settings:
value of $LC_ALL: nil
value of $LC_COLLATE: nil
value of $LC_CTYPE: nil
value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and, for the sake of completeness, here is the value of two variables which
could be of interest:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(describe-variable 'calendar-date-style)
#+end_src
#+results:
#+begin_example
calendar-date-style is a variable defined in `calendar.el'.
Its value is iso
Documentation:
Your preferred style for writing dates.
The options are:
`american' - month/day/year
`european' - day/month/year
`iso' - year/month/day
This affects how dates written in your diary are interpreted.
It also affects date display, as well as those calendar and diary
functions that take a date as an argument, e.g. `diary-date', by
changing the order in which the arguments are interpreted.
Setting this variable directly does not take effect (if the
calendar package is already loaded). Rather, use either
M-x customize or the function `calendar-set-date-style'.
You can customize this variable.
This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
version 23.1 of Emacs.
#+end_example
and:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(describe-variable 'european-calendar-style)
#+end_src
#+results:
#+begin_example
european-calendar-style is a variable defined in `calendar.el'.
Its value is nil
This variable is obsolete since 23.1;
use `calendar-date-style' instead.
Documentation:
Non-nil means use the European style of dates in the diary and display.
In this case, a date like 1/2/1990 would be interpreted as
February 1, 1990. See `diary-european-date-forms' for the
default European diary date styles.
Setting this variable directly does not take effect (if the
calendar package is already loaded). Rather, use either
M-x customize or the function `calendar-set-date-style'.
You can customize this variable.
#+end_example

Seb

I finally found the solution, which I'm sharing with you:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq system-time-locale "C")
#+end_src
instead of:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq system-time-locale "en_US.utf-8")
#+end_src
Strange, but...
Best regards,
Seb
