Hello Chris,

Did you mean this publish date? http://screencast.com/t/hzvFoqvE . As for the time of each article and have the importer set them., can you elaborate more on it? Please advise.

Hi Nick
As you moved it to the EasyBlog section, I can't reply using my personal account (so using a friend's account who has subscription).

I am look to include the 'Unpublish Date' as set in the post settings. This is so the syndicate site will have the 'Unpublish Date' set.

Chris

Hello,

We are sorry, but is not possible. If you see this: http://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html , there is no API for unpublish date.

Hi

But it is possible by extending RSS using Namespaces see http://www.disobey.com/detergent/2002/extendingrss2/

This allows you to add any field you want.

Hello,

Hm, interesting. Thanks for sharing. We will go deep into this and will try to port it in our code. If you want to try it yourself, you might want to go to this file: ../components/com_easyblog/views/latest/view.feed.php. This is where we generate the RSS page.

Hi Nick
Thanks for that.

What would I need to look at to add this option to the import function?

Chris

Hello David,

I'm sorry I have missed your reply. I've re-checked the JFeeditem object and it seems like is fixed by Joomla library to only use these variables. Hence, we can't do anything to alter it.

Hi
For what I read on the joomla API site JFeeditem is to create the feed items. Could just create your own class extending the JFeeditem?

Hello David,

If you look at this file: ../libraries/joomla/document/feed/renderer/rss.php, Joomla will not render your additional property even if you extend the class. However, if you still want to add the additional property, you have to edit 2 files:

../components/com_easyblog/views/latest/view.feed.php
- In line 106, you can add your own property. eg. $item->unPublishdate;

../libraries/joomla/document/feed/renderer/rss.php
- Then, you have to add the checking here so Joomla will be able to read your new property.

Hope this helps.
