This is how I do something similar. Essentially you treat an
event/appointment differently to a task (TODO) and store it in the diary
file (with the help of a capture template) so it looks like this:
* 2013
** 2013-05-30 Thursday
**** Might go fishing :event:
<2013-06-22 Sat>--<2013-06-23 Sun> [2013-05-30 Thu 23:57]
and in the init file you have this:
;; not sure which of these are necessary:
(setq org-agenda-include-diary t)
(setq org-agenda-diary-file "~/org/org/diary.org")
;; so any time strings in the heading are shown in the agenda
(setq org-agenda-insert-diary-extract-time t)
(setq org-capture-templates (quote (
("a" " - Appointment (compulsory)" entry
(file+datetree (concat org-directory "/diary.org")) "* %?
:appt:\n%^T %U %a")
("e" " - Event (optional)" entry
(file+datetree (concat org-directory "/diary.org")) "* %?
:event:\n%^T %U %a"))))
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
(quote (("v" "Events" agenda ""
((org-agenda-span 28)
(org-agenda-files '((concat org-directory "/diary.org")))))
If your diary.org has at the top:
#+FILETAGS: diary
Then a C-a v gives you:
Wednesday 19 June 2013
Thursday 20 June 2013
Friday 21 June 2013
Diary: 6:03...... Summer Solstice (BST)
Saturday 22 June 2013
diary: (1/2): Might go fishing :diary::event:
Sunday 23 June 2013
diary: (2/2): Might go fishing :diary::event:
Monday 24 June 2013 W26
Tuesday 25 June 2013
Wednesday 26 June 2013
