Title: Event date field Last modified: April 14, 2021 --- # Event date field * Resolved [aggk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aggk/) * (@aggk) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-date-field/) * Hi, * I’m trying a feed generated from Events Calendar for GeoDirectory where there are fields for event start/end date/time. These fields did not appear when I tried Super RSS Reader. Is it possible, either with free or pro version to display them? Here is what the format for these looks like inside the feed items: Mon, 19 Apr 2021 08:00:00 +0000Mon, 19 Apr 2021 16:00:00 +0000 * …everything else worked great! * Thanks!

[https://www.aakashweb.com/docs/super-rss-reader/actions-filters/](https://www.aakashweb.com/docs/super-rss-reader/actions-filters/) * Can you please share the RSS feed you are using ? Let me see if I can share the code for you. * Thanks, Aakash * Plugin Author [vaakash](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vaakash/) * (@vaakash) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-date-field/#post-14328957) * 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/](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 $data; } ``` * Thanks, Aakash * Thread Starter [aggk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aggk/) * (@aggk) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-date-field/#post-14330693) * Thank you so much! * Retrieving the event dates works great, however I discovered that the “Show Author” option no longer has effect when that snippet is in place? * Thanks! * Plugin Author [vaakash](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vaakash/) * (@vaakash) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-date-field/#post-14330923) * Please try updated code below. You might have to do the following. * 1) Replace `` with the feed URL you are using. This would prevent the hook being applied to all super RSS reader feeds. 2) Disable “show date” in widget options. * You can edit the 3rd last line to format the output as you need. * ``` add_filter( 'srr_mod_item_html', 'srr_show_event_time', 10, 3 ); function srr_show_event_time($data, $feed_url, $item){ if( $feed_url != '' ){ 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'] = '' . $start_date . ' - ' . $end_date . '' . $data['meta']; return $data; } ``` * Thanks, Aakash * Thread Starter [aggk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aggk/) * (@aggk) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-date-field/#post-14331068) * Perfect, thank you! * Plugin Author [vaakash](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vaakash/) * (@vaakash) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-date-field/#post-14331081) * Cheers ! * Thread Starter [aggk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aggk/) * (@aggk) * [4 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-date-field/#post-14750711) * 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! * Plugin Author [vaakash](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vaakash/) * (@vaakash) * [4 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-date-field/#post-14751419) * Hi [@aggk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aggk/), * I’ll check and get back to you. * Thanks * Thread Starter [aggk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aggk/) * (@aggk) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-date-field/#post-14777755) * Hi, * I just wanted to follow up if you had a chance to look into this? * Thanks! * Plugin Author [vaakash](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vaakash/) * (@vaakash) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-date-field/#post-14778389) * Hi [@aggk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aggk/), * Sorry I missed this out.
