RSS and events

[tomclapp]

We use Aweber at our site with parses the site RSS feeds and then sends an email to our subscribers whenever a new post is published. At the admin area at Aweber’s site we enter the RSS url to be parsed. Before I configure Aweber to use domain.com/events/feed I will need to customize that feed. Currently I have a functions in my functions.php to kill the WordPress native RSS functions. I will be adding a function to show the date in the events feed and I want to include a conditional statement to prevent recurring events from getting into the feed. We have several recurring events through the end of the year and I don’t want subscribers to receive 300 emails all at once. Please point me in the direction of that conditional statement to block recurring events from the feed.

nevermind, solved

Glad you managed to solve it 🙂

Yes, I figured it out. If an event is set to “Hide from upcoming events lists” then it won’t show up in the feed. This is good as it gives us control as to what events are in the feed.

Great – since it sounds like you’re all good I’ll go ahead and close this thread. Of course feel free to create new threads as and when needed 🙂
