Thanks for all the work on the new Events module. I like the new options for the RSS feed.

I'd really _love_ the following enhancements or variations there-of, as I want to use the RSS feed to embed an event list in on another website. These changes would give great flexibility in custom XSLT transform of the feed.

1. Remove the Event Date/Time from the <title> (or make it optional)
2. If Event Date/Time is in the title, don't show time for All Day events (currently shows 12:00 AM in feed title)
3. Add a custom tag for Event Day/Time and Date added/modified

Examples:

Title format options:
-Exclude Time:
<title>Test Event 1</title>
-Include Time:
<title>Test Event 1  -  1/28/2009  (All Day)</title>
<title>Test Event 1  -  1/31/2009  1:00 PM</title>

Feed sample with additional custom tags:

<item>
<title>Test Event 1</title>
<description>Importance:Normal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;All about this event&lt;/p&gt;</description>
<link> http://dnnstage.site.org/CalendarTest/tabid/1216/ModuleID/2649/ItemID/108/mctl/EventDetails/Default.aspx</link>
<pubDate>Wed, 28 Jan 2009 06:00:00 GMT</pubDate> <!-- Shown using current option of 'Event Date' -->
<dc:creator>SuperUser Account</dc:creator>
<dc:createDate>Mon, 26 Jan 2009 05:23:07 GMT</dc:createDate>
<dc:eventDate>Wed, 28 Jan 2009 06:00:00 GMT</dc:eventDate> <!--maybe dont' need this, but worth considering -->
</item>

 

Thanks for the consideration!

Hi,

We should be able to fairly easily include your suggestions about the title, and I agree these should be done. However, I don't think the extra tags can be so easily included. I think the dc tags must be specified here - http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/, you will see a reference to this spec (http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/) in the feed.

I think I'd have to do some investigation on how custom elements ca be included.

Cheers
Roger

I've added templating of the RSS Feed Item Title and Description, and added a new token [event:alldayeventtext]. The templating of description allows teh last portion of the feed description to be templated. It still currently output Category/Location/Importance/etc in the same way, since that would need a whole lot of extra work to get formatted right, but it at least allows you to template beyond that.

Cheers
Roger
