Event date field

Hi @aggk,

Thanks for using Super RSS Reader.

Right now super rss reader does not recognize metadata like above.

But by using plugin hooks, we should be able to fetch them.

Can you please share the RSS feed you are using ?
Let me see if I can share the code for you.

Thanks,
Aakash

Please paste below code in function.php and enable “Show date” in feed settings. This will work for both free and PRO.

It uses Super RSS Reader’s hook to fetch and insert custom data from feed.
https://www.aakashweb.com/docs/super-rss-reader/actions-filters/

add_filter( 'srr_mod_item_html', 'srr_show_event_time', 10, 3 );

function srr_show_event_time($data, $feed_url, $item){
    
    $event = $item->get_item_tags( 'Event', 'gd_event_meta' );
    
    if( empty( $event ) ){
        return $data;
    }
    
    $start_date = date_i18n( 'Y/m/d g:i A', SimplePie_Misc::parse_date( $event[0]['child']['Event']['startdate'][0]['data'] ) );
    $end_date = date_i18n( 'Y/m/d g:i A', SimplePie_Misc::parse_date( $event[0]['child']['Event']['enddate'][0]['data'] ) );
    
    $data['meta'] = $start_date . ' - ' . $end_date;
    
    return $data;
    
}

Thanks,

Thank you so much!

Retrieving the event dates works great, however I discovered that the “Show Author” option no longer has effect when that snippet is in place?

Thanks!

Please try updated code below. You might have to do the following.

1) Replace <the_feed_url> with the feed URL you are using. This would prevent the hook being applied to all super RSS reader feeds.
2) Disable “show date” in widget options.

You can edit the 3rd last line to format the output as you need.

add_filter( 'srr_mod_item_html', 'srr_show_event_time', 10, 3 );

function srr_show_event_time($data, $feed_url, $item){
    
    if( $feed_url != '<the_feed_url>' ){
        return $data;
    }
    
    $event = $item->get_item_tags( 'Event', 'gd_event_meta' );
    
    if( empty( $event ) ){
        return $data;
    }
    
    $start_date = date_i18n( 'Y/m/d g:i A', SimplePie_Misc::parse_date( $event[0]['child']['Event']['startdate'][0]['data'] ) );
    $end_date = date_i18n( 'Y/m/d g:i A', SimplePie_Misc::parse_date( $event[0]['child']['Event']['enddate'][0]['data'] ) );
    
    $data['meta'] = '<span class="srr-date">' . $start_date . ' - ' . $end_date . '</span>' . $data['meta'];
    
    return $data;
    
}

Perfect, thank you!

Cheers !

Hi again,

From what I understand an RSS feed should deliver date/time in GMT/UTC timezone and the “extractor” need to convert to it’s timezone?

Now I’m retrieving a feed here that comes with GMT/UTC however I need to display with Stockholm timezone (which is set in WordPress settings) could the code above take this into account so that dates are displayed in Stockholm timezone? (right now I believe it displays the GMT/UTC that the RSS feed deliver)

Thanks!

Hi @aggk,

I’ll check and get back to you.

Thanks

Hi,

I just wanted to follow up if you had a chance to look into this?

Thanks!

Hi @aggk,

Sorry I missed this out. I’ll get back to you by tomorrow.

Hi @aggk,

Please replace

    $start_date = date_i18n( 'Y/m/d g:i A', SimplePie_Misc::parse_date( $event[0]['child']['Event']['startdate'][0]['data'] ) );
    $end_date = date_i18n( 'Y/m/d g:i A', SimplePie_Misc::parse_date( $event[0]['child']['Event']['enddate'][0]['data'] ) );

with this

    $start_date = get_date_from_gmt( date_i18n( 'Y-m-d H:i:s', SimplePie_Misc::parse_date( $event[0]['child']['Event']['startdate'][0]['data'] ) ), 'Y/m/d g:i A' );
    $end_date = get_date_from_gmt( date_i18n( 'Y-m-d H:i:s', SimplePie_Misc::parse_date( $event[0]['child']['Event']['enddate'][0]['data'] ) ), 'Y/m/d g:i A' );

I didn’t try the code but I hope it should work.
let me know how it goes.

Thanks,
