This question may be related to a resolved thread.

I have a related problem. I’m bringing in this feed

http://www.fifa.com/media/rss.xml

into

http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com/futbol-blog

via Magpie.

I can see the date on the Feed page. I validated it using

http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http://www.fifa.com/rss/index.xml

The template code is

{exp:magpie url="http://www.fifa.com/rss/index.xml" limit="15" refresh="720"}
{magpie:items}
<div class="article">
<h3><a href="http://{link}" title="{title}">{title}</a></h3>
<p>{date format="%F %j, %Y"} <span>|</span> by <a href="http://www.fifa.com/newscentre/news/index.html" title="FIFA.com" target="new" rel="noopener">FIFA.com</a><br />
{summary} <a href="http://{link}" title="{title}" target="new" rel="noopener">continue reading »</a><br />
</div><br />
{/magpie:items}<br />
{/exp:magpie}

I’ve tried both, date by itself, and date with format as seen above. Neither works.

In addition,

What variable tag would I use to bring in the “Media Files” images per each post from http://www.fifa.com/media/rss.xml ?

This problem has been reported previously and was said to be a Magpie problem.

Lunchbox Collective,

I am just pinging devs on the date issue. I can replicate what you are experiencing so thank you for your patience.

Lunchbox Collective,

We created a bug report and has since been confirmed. It was a documentation bug in fact.

Try “pubdate” instead of “date”. In my local test this works for me.

Sorry for inconvenience

John,

Thank you. It’s now publishing the date with {pubdate}, as seen on feed entries at: http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com/futbol-blog

I still can’t get the formatting to work, though. Is this a template limitation?

I used both, and it wasn’t displaying anything.

{pubdate format="%F %j, %Y"}

or

{magpie:pubdate format="%F %j, %Y"}

Hi Martin,

There is no format parameter available for dates, the format is taken from the original feed. The images contained in the feed are in an enclosure tag that the Magpie plugin does not support.

Cheers

Greg
