Custom Calendar RSS Feed (Title, date and time only)

[Todd]

I may be beating a dead goat here, but have been searching for hours for functions.php filters and feeds.php tweaks without any luck.
Problem:
We have the Pro version of The Events Calendar and our RSS feed is working. We have purchased a new LED Digital Sign that will accept RSS feeds.

I am trying to, preferably, make a new RSS feed (sign-feed.php) to output ONLY the event title, date and time. I don’t need the date entered, author, content or excerpt.

What would be the best way to make this happen?

Feed URL: http://www.havelocknc.us/calendar/feed (has current and future items)
http://www.havelocknc.us/event/feed (not sure why this one has older items)

Thanks,
Todd ‘Jack’ Jachimiak, Net Admin/Webmaster

Hey Todd,

Thanks for reaching out. We unfortunately cannot help with code customizations/modifications here, so this is a project you will mostly have to undertake on your own. 🙁 I’m sorry to disappoint! ⚠️ Please read this page for more information → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/what-support-is-provided-for-license-holders/

With that being said, I would like to at least help point you in the right direction here and recommend some steps to make that a reality!

There are two excellent resources for learning the basics of creating a custom RSS feed. I would recommend checking out these two resources as follows:
• https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_Feeds
• http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-custom-rss-feeds-in-wordpress/

With that information, you should be able to put together a function custom feed. But how to make it pull events from The Events Calendar? For this aspect, our function tribe_get_events() might be super handy. I would recommend trying to use this function, or at least reading the WP_Query inside the function to see how to query for events from The Events Calendar. To learn more about tribe_get_events(), check out this guide here:
• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/using-tribe_get_events/

I hope these resources help!

Best of luck with your tinkering,
George
