Hi All,

I made a little org-mode schedule for the Football World Cup in South-Africa
(attached); it may be useful for some.

Anyway, my question: the times are the local times in South Africa -- is there
some way to have the times shown in my org-agenda automatically corrected for
my local time zone?

Thanks,
Dirk.

Dirk,

Great schedule! I am really interested, in the same way, if it is possible
to adjust timezones to Brazil as well.

If it is not, I will adjust "by hand" your table.

Norm Walsh's nifty wwtime.el may provide some ideas:

Here is a quick and dirty function to update all timestamps in a
buffer by N hours:

8<----------------------------------------

(defun uphours ( n )
  "update all timestamps n hours"
  (interactive "nAdd hours: ")
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (point-min))
     (while (re-search-forward "[[<]" nil t)
       (when (org-at-timestamp-p t)
         (org-timestamp-change n 'hour)
         ))))

8<----------------------------------------

S.Africa is UTC+2. To change to UTC-3 call with -5 as argument.

Use and modify as needed.

Regards,
.j.

Dirk,

My understanding is that time zones aren't currently supported in org,
or well supported in emacs in general. I've looked a few times at
allowing data entry from another TZ to just be converted to localtime,
and haven't had a good answer yet.

Thanks.

I bet "calc" can do it ;)

Jokes aside, is it not just a case of adding a user function in a "local
time" column in an org mode table? Possibly a file property value for new
timezone delta? (Not using tables I assume they allow user functions in
cells). someone else published the function to "uptime".

Hmm, but rereading that I guess its a bit like saying building a
spaceship is just about tacking an engine onto a nose cone ... the
details I'll leave to you ;))
