Mark days in calendar based on agenda

Mark days in calendar based on agenda

[Claudius Hubig]

Good day,

I’m quite new to org-mode so please forgive me in case this question
already has been answered somewhere else – if that is the case, I
wasn’t able to find it.

Anyway, I would like my calendar to mark days based on agenda
entries. For example, I have a line like the following:

**** Exam <2010-09-07 Di 11:00> PC 102				     :ATTACH:

in my notes.org and agenda displays it nicely

 7 September 2010  notes:      11:00...... Exam PC 102              :ATTACH:

However, I would also like to have calendar highlight that day in
it’s overview the same way it would if I entered this line:

2010-09-07 11:00 Exam PC 102

into my diary file.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Best regards and thank you for reading,

Claudius

Well, you probably know "d" can show org-mode items by including

&%%(org-diary)

in your ~/.diary (diary-file variable). This is described in the
org-mode worg page.

Despite playing with fancy display calendar settings as described in the
calendar I wasnt able to get the calendar to hilite the day buttons if
org items were there. Does the output of org-diary conform to the
required calendar appointment format?

No, I didn’t and I have to admit I didn’t look at the org-mode worg
page. However,

this can be easily fixed then:

%%(org-diary)

does exactly what I want :)

Thank you very much Richard!

The calendar shows the actual days hilited if they have items on that
day in org?

Yes, though this only happens with active appointments – inactive
appointments are not highlighted in the calendar and not visible in
the diary.

Active appointments, on the other hand, are visible in the diary and
the agenda and mark a day in the calendar.

This is not perfect since I would like about some things without a
mark in the calendar (I have a note like "[2010-08-25 Mi 24:00] 4270
Vokabeln ausstehend" for nearly every day in the near future due to
my VEP¹, don’t want that to show up in the calendar but a little
reminder in the agenda would be nice…), but it works most of the time
as expected.
