Hi Org-list,
How do you guys manage repeated irregular entries when using
org-caldav?
In particular, I have entries like
* Course with irregular times
<2013-09-23 Mon 15:30-17:30>
<2013-09-24 Tue 15:00-17:00>
<2013-10-18 Fri 15:00-17:00>
Or
* Person X visiting
<2013-09-21 Fri>--<2013-10-02 Tue>
<2013-11-15 Fri 17:52>--<2013-11-18 Mon 13:00>
With these I get double entry errors/warnings when syncing with
org-caldav and only the first entry is displayed on my phone's
calendar, it seems.
I have quite a backlog of entries in this format, but I would,
reluctantly, switch to another format if that would make it work with
org-caldav. I'm not sure which format is better though, or whether
there's a more appropriate way to specify reoccurring events.
Thanks,
Rasmus
PS: There's a new application in F-Droid (supposedly also in the
Google repo), that seems /very/ promising for DAV-sync. It's called
DAVdroid,

So far calendar sync works great! I will test ASynk/BBDB ↔ DAVdroid
later.

I use a different heading for each event so I never have multiple
timestamps within a given section. So I can't help you directly with
your problem.
However, note that MobileOrg also does Google calendar synchronisation
on Android phones. I currently use org-caldav but I was happily using
MobileOrg's sync capability a while ago and I assume it still works
well. I stopped using it only because I ended up with a Symbian phone
for work (long story) and so moved to org-caldav when that appeared. I
am now back on Android but haven't moved back completely to MobileOrg as
org-caldav works very well for me (it ain't broke so...).
HTH,
eric

OK.

I used to use MobileOrg. But currently I use a SabreDAV server to
sync. I haven't got the Google Calc, but I've got normal CalDAV.
