Hi,
I have an RSS feed that works fine when the date is set it:
<dc:date>{gmt_date format="{DATE_ATOM}"}</dc:date>But it breaks when I try to do this (using any formatting):
<dc:date>{date format="{DATE_ATOM}"}</dc:date>Date is listed as a parameter here: http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/rss/index.html#variables, I’m not sure what I’m missing.
Thanks!

Hi Zac,
I’m sorry this is misbehaving for you!
Have you tried other date variables as well? Like:
{current_time format="{DATE_ATOM}"}What version of ExpressionEngine are you using? Can you share the complete template here too?
Cheers,

Hey!
I’m on 2.4.0 and other time formats work, just not “day”
Thanks

Hey Zac,
That is odd.
Can I see your entire template?
We will go from there.

Sure thing!
Here you go:

Hi Zac,
I was not able to replicate the issue on my installation using your template.
Everything rendered fine. Can you give us some screenshots or output examples of how this is breaking for you?
Cheers,

Ok, possibly feel like a fool here, but {date wasn’t working inside the channel entries tag. Switched to entry_date and it works (as does gmt_time).
Thanks Dan

Hi Zac,
Glad to hear it!
Dan rocks.
If you need anything else, please just let us know by opening a new thread.
