Remind CalDAV adapter release

Hi,

I've just pushed the first version of my Remind CalDAV adapter to
Github:
           https://github.com/jspricke/Radicale/

I've used the Radicale CalDAV server as a base and added a special
storage adapter to translate between the remind and iCalendar syntax.
What's working:
- Two way sync between CalDAV and remind (tested using the aCal app on
  Android resp. sync into the Android calendar using the CalDAV Sync
  Adapter).
- Initial support for a standalone mode to convert from Remind to ics
  (rem2ics.pl replacement).

Please not that this is tied to a Abook adapter at the moment, so you
need to set up a fake file for that adapter as well, if you don't use
Abook. Patches to disentangle this welcome!

Have Fun

Help with timed popup reminders

Hi Guys,

I had remind set up and working with both general reminders and time 
specific reminders.
I'd get a popup at the start of the day with all the general reminders 
and then another popup just before an event, reminding me to do 
something right then.

Well,  I had to do a reintall and thought that I had everything back in 
place.  It seems I don't.

My general reminders are working fine.

I can't get any timed reminders to popup.

If I run the commands listed below the first command works as it 
should.  The second command does not.  Specifically when I hit return in 
the terminal, I get nothing.  No command prompt, just blank.

Does anyone have an idea of what could cause this?

remind ~/Reminder-files/reminders-general | gxmessage -buttons "OK:1" 
-default "OK" -center -font "serif 16" -fg "#231" -bg yellow -wrap 
-title "Don't Forget'" -file -

remind -z '-kgmessage -buttons "OK:1" -default "OK" -center -font "serif 
16" -fg "#000" -bg "yellow" -wrap -title "HEY!" %s &' 
~/Reminder-files/timedreminders

Disable Permission Checking

Is there a way I can disable the permission checking when I run
remind?  I don't see a way in the manfile...

Re: Remind-fans Digest, Vol 109, Issue 5

Thanks David,

Then, for clarification, maybe 'man remind' section on '%"' should be 
amended to include the '-n' option along with -c, -s, or -p options?

Print next occurrence regardless of %"

The last posting reminded me that I don't believe I got an answer to my 
question of how to get a simple listing of the next occurrence of each 
reminder regardless whether or not there is a %".

Exclude notes from calendar output

Hello all,

I use remind to manage a simple todo list (in addition to its
normal usage) and I am looking for a way to skip todo entries
when displaying the calendar overview with -c.

At the moment I'm using the following workaround:

    FSET todo() trigger(iif($CalMode, '2000-01-01', realtoday()))

    REM [todo()] MSG - Todo entry %

Is there a cleaner way to exclude them from the calendar but
still list them when running remind?

Regards
Simon

Help calculating payday

Hi all,

I'm trying (as an excercise mostly) to figure out how to represent my
payday in remind.  The way payday works at my company is that it is
the fourth weekday of the month.  So to be clear, in June of this year
that would end up being the 6th.

Do I have to use a user defined function for this?  I don't see a way to
do it with the ... less programmatic syntax, as - goes backwards and +
means something else entirely.

Re: Remind-fans Digest, Vol 109, Issue 1

I found out why it didn't work this morning. I think it works okay if 
the the line

REM FROM 2013-05-12 AT 18:00 DURATION 1:00 SKIP MSG Salsa Level 1

is changed to:

REM FROM Sun AT 18:00 DURATION 1:00 SKIP MSG Salsa Level 1

Follow-up on 'counting a recurring event'

Stopping on a count of a recurring event is something I need to do and 
in my search I found this entry:

http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/pipermail/remind-fans/2012/002820.html

Subsequently I came up with a procedure that seems to work for me and 
maybe it will be of use to others:

PUSH-OMIT-CONTEXT
  ⋅OMIT 2013-05-19
   SET SALSALESSON 0  # Doesn't appear to be required as seems to have 
no effect
   IF today() >= '2013-05-12'
    ⋅SET SALSALESSON 
nonomitted('2013-05-12',today(),"Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat")
    ⋅IF SALSALESSON < 6
      ⋅REM FROM 2013-05-12 AT 18:00 DURATION 1:00 SKIP MSG Salsa Level 1 
– #[SALSALESSON + 1] %3
     ENDIF
⋅ENDIF
POP-OMIT-CONTEXT

Basically, it schedules 6 Sundays while skipping one on 2013-05-19.

P.S. I am using:

REMIND 03.01.13 (English version) Copyright 1992-1998 David F. Skoll

rem -nt1 and %" option

I would like to print using something like 'rem -nt1' that prints, e.g.

2013/03/27 Full moon 05:30
2013/03/29 Good Friday
2013/03/31 Easter Sunday
2013/04/01 April Fool's Day
2013/04/01 Easter Monday

However, it doesn't print, e.g.

REM 2013 Mar 30 +2 AT 18:45 DURATION 1:00 MSG Viennese Waltz at CCHC 
%"%"(%3 %c [CountDown()])

because of %"%" but I thought that only affected options -c, -s, or -p?

How can I get a simple print that includes all MSG whether or not there 
is a %" in the entry?

[newbie] how to fix the -s+1 behaviour?

Hi, I have been using remind for a few days and I really enjoy it.
I like the output of:
  remind -gaaad -b1 -ms+1

But I would like rather to get the 7 next days STARTING from today (rather
than starting from the beginning of the current week). Of course, I could
use -s+2 and parse the output with some external script or call several
time remind with -a with various 'today date', but I am pretty sure there
is a way to get the expected behaviour from the command line.
Do you see what I could do? Regards, B.
