Diary in ical export

Diary in ical export

[Bill Purcell]

I have seen some traffic on the mailing list about diary inclusion in
ical exports but I haven't found an answer to my problem.  I thought
this was working at some point.  To simplify I have a basic config
file:

(setq load-path (append '("~/.emacs.d/org-mode/lisp") load-path))
(ignore-errors (require 'org))
(ignore-errors (require 'org-install))

(setq
 diary-file "~/tmp/org-diary/t.txt"
 org-agenda-files '("~/tmp/org-diary/t.org")
 org-directory "~/tmp/org-diary"
 org-combined-agenda-icalendar-file "~/tmp/org-diary/cal.ics"
 org-icalendar-timezone "US/Central"
 org-agenda-include-diary t
)

and then a sample org file

* Project
** Something Todo
<2011-02-02 Wed>

and then a sample diary

%%(diary-anniversary 12 20 2010) My Son's  %d%s Birthday.
*/2 Something Monthly

When I export with this command

emacs --no-init-file --no-site-file --batch --kill -l t.el -f org-export-icalendar-combine-agenda-files

I get the following file

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
X-WR-CALNAME:OrgMode
PRODID:-//Bill Purcell//Emacs with Org-mode//EN

END:VCALENDAR

Obviously I'm missing the diary stuff.  I am using Orgmode version
7.4 and emacs 23.1.

Does anyone export Diary dates when exporting to ics from within
org-mode? I thought this would be handled with  (setq
org-agenda-include-diary t) but that doesn't do it form me.

So I guess that I was hallucinating that it was possible to export
Diary dates when exporting the org agenda to iCal.  I am going to use
icalendar.el similar to [1] unless someone chimes in with a more
org-mode-esque way of approaching it.

I do export diary-style sexp date: not all diary date are exportable,
for more information look at the  icalendar.el.


this :
%%(diary-anniversary 12 20 2010) My Son's  %d%s Birthday.

don't seen to be exported,
but this:
<%%(diary-anniversary 12 20 2010)> My Son's  %d%s Birthday.
is exported
