Reingold's calendar.el. ;; ;; Version 2.1 ;; ;; Comments, corrections, and improvements should be sent to ;; Neil M. Mager ;; Net ;; Voice (617) 981-4803 ;;; ;;; Thanks to Edward M. Reingold for much help and many suggestions, ;;; And to many others for bug fixes and suggestions. ;;; ;;; ;;; This functions in this file will alert the user of a ;;; pending appointment based on their diary file. ;;; ;;; ******* It is necessary to invoke 'display-time' and ******** ;;; ******* 'appt-initialize' for this to work properly. ******** ;;; ;;; A message will be displayed in the mode line of the emacs buffer and (if ;;; the user desires) the terminal will beep and display a message from the ;;; diary in the mini-buffer, or the user may select to have a message ;;; displayed in a new buffer. ;;; ;;; Variables of note: ;;; ;;; appt-issue-message If this variable is nil, then the code in this ;;; file does nothing. ;;; appt-msg-countdown-list Specifies how much warning you want before ;;; appointments. ;;; appt-audible Whether to beep when it's notification-time. ;;; appt-display-mode-line Whether to display a countdown to the next ;;; appointment in the mode-line. ;;; appt-announce-method The function used to do the notifications. ;;; 'appt-window-announce do it in a pop-up window. ;;; 'appt-screen-announce do it in a pop-up screen (v19 only) ;;; 'appt-message-announce do it in the echo area. ;;; 'appt-persistent-message-announce do it in the echo area, but make the ;;; messages not go away at the next keystroke. ;;; appt-display-duration If appt-announce-method is set to the function ;;; 'appt-window-announce, this specifies how many ;;; seconds the pop-up window should stick around. ;;; ;;; In order to use this, create a diary file, and add the following to your ;;; .emacs file: ;;; ;;; (require 'appt) ;;; (display-time) ;;; (appt-initialize) ;;; ;;; If you wish to see a list of appointments, or a full calendar, when emacs ;;; starts up, you can add a call to (diary) or (calendar) after this. ;;; ;;; This is an example of what can be in your diary file: ;;; Monday ;;; 9:30am Coffee break ;;; 12:00pm Lunch ;;; ;;; Based upon the above lines in your .emacs and diary files, the calendar ;;; and/or diary will be displayed when you enter emacs and your appointments ;;; list will automatically be created. You will then be reminded at 9:20am ;;; about your coffee break and at 11:50am to go to lunch. ;;; ;;; In order to interactively add or delete items from today's list, use ;;; Meta-x appt-add and Meta-x appt-delete. (This does not modify your ;;; diary file, so these will be forgotten when you exit emacs.) ;;; ;;; Additionally, the appointments list is recreated automatically at 12:01am ;;; for those who do not logout every day or are programming late. ;;; ;;; You can have special appointments which execute arbitrary code rather than ;;; simply notifying you -- sort of like the unix "cron" facility. The syntax ;;; for this is borrowed from the Calendar's special-date format. If you have ;;; a diary entry like ;;; ;;; Monday ;;; 3:00am %%(save-all-modified-buffers) ;;; ;;; then on monday at 3AM, the function `save-all-modified-buffers' will be ;;; invoked. (Presumably this function is defined in your .emacs file.) ;;; There will be no notification that these "special" appointments are being ;;; triggered, unless the form evaluated produces a notification. ;;; ;;; It is necessary for the entire list after the "%%" to be on one line in ;;; your .diary file -- there may not be embedded newlines in it. This is a ;;; bit of a misfeature. ;;; ;;; This also interacts correctly with Benjamin Pierce's reportmail.el package. ;;; ;;; Brief internal description - Skip this if your not interested! ;;; ;;; The function appt-initialize invokes 'diary' to get a list of today's ;;; appointments, and parses the lines beginning with date descriptions. ;;; This list is cached away. 'diary' is invoked in such a way so as to ;;; not pop up a window displaying the diary buffer. ;;; ;;; The function appt-check is run from the 'loadst' process (or the 'wakeup' ;;; process in emacs 18.57 or newer) which is started by invoking display-time. ;;; It checks this cached list, and announces as appropriate. At midnight, ;;; appt-initialize is called again to rebuild this list. ;;; ;;; display-time-filter is modified to invoke appt-check. ;;; ;;; TO DO: ;;; ;;; o multiple adjascent appointments are not handled gracefully. If there ;;; is an appointment at 3:30 and another at 3:35, and you have set things ;;; up so that you get a notification twenty minutes before each appt, ;;; then a notification should come at 3:10 for the first appt, and at ;;; 3:15 for the second. Currently, no notifications are generated for an ;;; appointment until all preceeding appointments have completely expired. ;;; ;;; o If there are two appointments at the same time, all but the first are ;;; ignored (not announced.) ;;; ;;; o Appointments which are early enough in the morning that their ;;; announcements should begin before midnight are not announced until ;;; midnight. ;;; ;;; o There should be some way to mark certain appointments as "important," ;;; so that you will be harassed about them even after they have expired.
