    Hello,

    I would like my rss feeds to have more detailed data. For example, my events feed only generates the title and description. I would like date, time, location, price.

    I think we can sort it out if we can figure out why the filter isn’t working and what do use instead of “the_content” in the code (http://paste.ofcode.org/4vmSUUZig7hA4A66YCtFVz).

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    RSS are meant to only have title and description. To change that you’ll have to add the other custom fields to the rss.

    Customizing the RSS feed shouldn’t be much different than customizing the listings pages.

    If you add this to the file createing the feed:

    global $post; print_r($post);

    You will see all elements of the post object.

    Example:

    echo $post->geodir_email;

    Will echo the listing email address.

    Obviously this is considered a customization.

    Hope this helps,

    Thanks

    Hello,

    Thank you for the response. We are trying to do this by hooking the feed creation rather than changing any files that would be written over when the plugin is updated. Would you be able to provide the hook so that we could accomplish this, please.

    Hi. We would rather not modify the plugin files as doing so would obviously be overwritten by any plugin update. Is there not a hook or filter we can use to modify the output of the description?

    As per http://paste.ofcode.org/4vmSUUZig7hA4A66YCtFVz This adds a filter to “the_content” when its displayed in an rss and the post type is gd_event. This works on normal posts and in other custom post types.

    This should also work if geo directory was using the content to display the rss feed, which it appears to not be doing. What field is geodirectory using to display the content and how can we add a filter to add the content we want?

    Hello Dara,

    Please have a look at this page: https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_Feeds

    There are also some useful links at the bottom of that page.

    Hopefully that is enough to get you where you want to be 🙂

    Thanks,

    Stiofan
