Org-Mode Agenda in a calendar view with tables?

TyrionBean · 2022-08-13 19:28
Hey everyone, I'm curious: I know that there exist many exporting features to sync org-mode agendas as calendar files (.ics etc...) to view your agenda in a calendar GUI. However, what I'm curious about (and wish to find) is a package which displays your org-mode agenda in an org table calendar? So that you don't have to export anything. It would all be displayed in an emacs buffer with a table layout and links to agenda events? Does this exist? I figured since I'm doing almost everything in emacs now for organization, why not include a calendar view as well?

This might help: Calfw - A calendar framework for Emacs [emacs-calfw](https://github.com/kiwanami/emacs-calfw) with calfw-org.el

Thank you. That's exactly what I am looking for I guess, but it seems like it's maybe abandoned? The last update to it was something like five years ago. After researching it just now, I saw a thread on reddit from 2017 where he says he's been really busy and such and started working on it again but I guess it has been abandoned once more.

It may be old - but still gold. I have it working and it works very well - with multiple calendars etc. So good to give it try.

I literally just installed it 10 minutes ago and it's working beautifully. Thank you. It's exactly what I was looking for.

calfw is a great project. However, the main issue I've got is that it works perfectly fine with languages whose words don't occupy much horizontal space like Japanese (the author's language). With languages like German or English, **I'd prefer a different layout that does provide more horizontal space** for the appointment descriptions. I've summarized my thoughts on [https://github.com/kiwanami/emacs-calfw/issues/22](https://github.com/kiwanami/emacs-calfw/issues/22) but the author did not find time to address this since 2015. Maybe somebody wants to hand in a patch for that to reduce stress for the author?
