Output an RSS feed of Events
What I want to do is publish a RSS feed of future community events. There are a couple of nice plugins for Textpattern which generate events lists, but none of them will output RSS.
Can anyone think of a workaround so I can accomplish this? This is a very straightforward thing to do, yet I can’t find a way to accomplish it.

jeeves – I’m looking into it for mine. One thing is that it may end up requiring a hack file depending on how the rss feed for textpattern is created. Email me end of the week if you hear nothing…

One way to work around this could be to establish a section for these events and publish the articles there. This section doesn’t go anywhere on the site but is only for the RSS Feed (see settings in the section tab).
You don’t publish the articles at the actual dates that the event happens but before with the event date given in the article text.

You will hear no complaints from me. Even if a RSS capable events list requires modifying the base Texpattern install, that’s a small price to pay for something that useful. Being able to syndicate an events list would vastly increase the the value of publishing such a list.
