How to display sunrise and sunset in weekly agenda view, but only for today?

How to display sunrise and sunset in weekly agenda view, but only for today?

[Brian van den Broek]

Hi all,

I was looking at <http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#sec-2-7> and
have used the code there to put sunrise and sunset into my agenda
views; most cool.

Poking around the thread that the worg page links to, I saw people
were interested in displaying these times only in agenda day views.
Konrad Hinsen posted an easy solution:
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/38879>.

Never happy :-) what I'd like is to display the sun* times in the
weekly view, but only for today. I always work from the week view and
export that to my phone. I'm interested in the sun* times for today,
but not interested enough to have what feels like clutter on future
days.

I am of limited lisp and org internals knowledge, so don't really feel
able to figure out where to start poking. Has anyone done this? Or,
could anyone give me a push?

Thanks and best,

Brian vdB

Instead of Konrad's

%%(when (eq span 'day) (diary-sunrise))
%%(when (eq span 'day) (diary-sunset))

you can add 

%%(when (equal date (calendar-current-date)) (diary-sunrise))
%%(when (equal date (calendar-current-date)) (diary-sunset))

so it will only happen on the current date.
