RSS – Display venue, phone, etc..

[commweb]

How can we add more details to the events rss? For instance I would like to show all of the details an event has in the feed: http://5c5.1c1.myftpupload.com/event/no-boundaries/2016-04-20/ <– you can see this event has website, phone, email, etc. Currently it’s only showing pubDate, category, description, etc. How can we get it to have more of the event details?

thanks.

How can we add more details to the events rss?

Let me know if that helps you to get started on the right track.

Have a great day!

Hey Geoff,
Thanks for getting back to me, I did see those articles before I posted. However I guess I’m missing something there because I don’t necessarily want to change the order of them or add them to the main WP rss but just add the extra info that the existing events have such as venue, phone, etc. I guess my question really is how do I know what those fields are or is it as simple as <ev:venue>? Then using a similar function to the one under “Add the Event Dates” section of the second article you sent?

thanks.

Good evening Kimberly,

Thank you for writing back and clarifying what you are looking to do.

You are right, there is no specific solution to your are trying to do in there.

The articles I sent were mainly a way to get you started on customizing your RSS feeds (I was not sure if you had read them). My main goal was to provide you with a sense of what could be done (along with the related articles).

Unfortunately, as you might know, the scope of our support is mostly to get our customers started on the right track and to help them in case of issues.

We unfortunately do not provide complete support for that type of customization.

With that in mind, there are a couple of other posts that should bring you closer to what you are trying to achieve.

I would recommend reading:

• https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/change-rss-description-feed/
• https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/rss-feed-that-includes-everything-about-the-event/
• http://web.resource.org/rss/1.0/modules/event/

Hopefully this can help you get started.

If not, you could hire one of our recommended customizers to do the customization for you.

Best regards,

Geoff B.
