using ReminderPlugin to set a reminder for more than one day

[Mike]

I am currently using reminder plugin for most of my appointments,
classes, travel ect.
Can I set a reminder for more than just one day - IE this reminder is
for April 15-19 ?

What I have been doing is making a reminder for each day with the same
message.

I.E.
<<reminder year:2009 month:4 day:15 title:"Kris Arrive" >>
<<reminder year:2009 month:4 day:16 title:"Kris Visiting" >>
<<reminder year:2009 month:4 day:17 title:"Kris Visiting" >>
<<reminder year:2009 month:4 day:18 title:"Kris Visiting" >>
<<reminder year:2009 month:4 day:19 title:"Kris Leave" >>

Thanks,

Mike

At one point I was trying to add a 'run' variable to it which would
write in a new reminder for each day listed in the run, but never
quite got it to work, and even then I was clueless as to how to get it
to wrap around the end of a month. Having it write out reminders till
Jan 34 wasn't going to be much use.

I am not a programer by any stretch, but hopefully the idea will
inspire someone to go where I could not.

One of the things I did achieve was adding in a start time and end
time field so that my reminders titles gotten written as "10:00-13:00
- Meeting with Elizabeth Donald to discuss Nocturnal Urges series" to
help me figure out when to have a meeting. I always wanted to try and
get it to do an alert when it was time for something to happen.

Mike,

I got reminder plugin from

http://remindermacros.tiddlyspot.com

if you look in the related tiddlers, ll. See Simple examples, Holidays, showReminders and Personal Reminders and See ReminderSyntax and showRemindersSyntax you will find you can handle reoccuring appointments like anaversaries, daily, every monday etc....

eg;
!!!!reminder examples:
<<reminder month:8 day:17 title:"@@color(red):August 17th@@">>
<<reminder dayofweek:5 title:"Next Friday" >>
<<reminder day:13 dayofweek:5 title:"Next Friday the 13th" >>
<<reminder day:8 offsetdayofweek:2 title:"Second Tuesday of the Month">>

This is a great tool that can do what you want it is sometime just a little difficult to determine how

This is my fortnightly appointment
<<reminder year:2009 month:2 day:24 recurdays:14 title:"Philosophy Meeting 7:30" >>
This is my weekly
<<reminder dayofweek:3 title:"Submitt My activity" >>

It also links easily into the calendar plugin where you can review reminders relative to a particular date and create reminders from the date in the calander view.
