As I wrote, there is initial support for a rem2ics.pl replacement and
adding ical2ram should be easy. Distributing it separately needs some
work as it uses one data structure which is Radicale specific atm.
Still, moving the core into a separate lib sounds like a nice goal for
the future.


Afaik this is already possible with rem2ics.pl. Just to get this
straight, these adapters let Radicale use remind files as a storage
backend, so you don't have to push them to an other server.


Thx, it's on my todo (send a pull request if you need it changed sooner
;) ).

Cheers Jochen

Cool!

Is it possible to rip the core code out of Radicale and ship it
separately then use that code (probably conditionally since it'd be a
brand new project)? I just glanced over the code and I'm not sure how
much work this would involve.

It'd be nice to have a utility I can use with DAVical (which I use) or
whatever storage server becomes popular (I can see folks wanting to be
able to pull/push directly from iCloud or Google for work or family
syncing.

FYI, I also see a hard-coded Europe/Berlin TZ in the code.


To me, this isn't a big issue (though I do have issues with abook and am
looking to replace it), but maybe it is for someone else.

Remind CalDAV adapter release

Jochen Sprickerhof — 2013-06-11T15:30:18

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

Jochen

John,

Yes. The modification of the file is what I meant. Glad you resolved the
problem.

I figured it out - I had forgotten to tell remind to look for timed reminders at boot when the demon was launched.

Re: Help with timed popup reminders

John Niendorf — 2013-05-10T15:36:56

Thanks Bob,

I'm not sure I follow you though.  The reminders file has been modified when I added a new reminder to it.
Is that what you mean?

Don't know for sure, but I suspect remind is looking at time of the file's
last modification or similar. If the file hasn't changed, no popup. Just a
guess. I faced a similar situation one time and added a "touch <filename>"
command so that Remind would see it as modified.

Help with timed popup reminders

John Niendorf — 2013-05-10T08:26:13

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/timedrem

Is there a way I can disable the permission checking when I run

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?

Re: Help calculating payday

fREW Schmidt — 2013-04-28T13:56:51

Ok, so the above does what I'd like, find the fourth weekday of a
month.  I thought it would be easy to extrapolate from there for the
next payday but I can't figure it out.  I need to find the 3rd weekday
after, but not including, the 15th of the month.   Any ideas?
