Hi.

I’m evaluating EE right now and I’m having a problem with the RSS-feeds.

Please visit http://www.bangers.se/index2.html (it’s a Swedish petanque club and nothing else…)
Look at the news section at the front page. The news there are based on a EE RSS feed:
http://demo.expressionengine.com/uvQXZUCsBi/index.php/site/rss_2.0/

As you can see, the date doesn’t show up like it should.

If I call for instace call this RSS feed:
http://blog-boulebangers.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
the date shows like it supposed to.

Where can I change the settings so that my Flash News Feed displays the date correct from my EE RSS-feed?

Thanks.

They’re both valid feeds, which is good.  Looks like blogger is using:

<pubDate>Wed, 07 May 2008 13:26:00 +0000</pubDate>
vs
<dc:date>2008-05-10T20:22:11+01:00</dc:date>


If you just want to change the format- you need to change the date formatting you’re using inside the rss template- specifically

<dc:date>{gmt_date format="%Y-%m-%dT%H:%i:%s%Q"}</dc:date>


The docs layout your options.  I’m thinking something along the lines of

<pubDate>{gmt_date format="%D, %m %Y %H:%i:%s %Q"}</pubDate>


Should be in the ballpark if it’s just a matter of the flash not liking the format.  The date itself shouldn’t be incorrect.

Woot!  Glad it was an easy fix.
