Test Feed

This is what I get when I choose the next 7 days and health/wellness for my feed, while not hiding recurring events. Feed URL is:

https://events.stanford.edu/calendar.xml?event_types%5B%5D=37093217343447&experience=

Same settings below, with recurring events hidden. Feed URL is:

https://events.stanford.edu/calendar.xml?card_size=small&event_types%5B%5D=37093217343447&experience=&hide_recurring=1

Here I’ve chosen just today, health/wellness, recurring events not hidden. URL is:

https://events.stanford.edu/calendar/day?card_size=small&order=date&days=1&experience=&event_types%5B%5D=37093217343447

And this is today, health/wellness, recurring events hidden.

https://events.stanford.edu/calendar.xml?card_size=small&days=1&event_types%5B%5D=37093217343447&experience=&hide_recurring=1

I used the search tool to find health/wellness, filtered those results to the next seven days, and built this feed. Note that the URL includes start-date=2021-12-09 which is certainly not what I want. This example is with recurring events turned on:

https://events.stanford.edu/search/events.xml?days=7&event_types%5B%5D=37093217343447&experience=&start_date=2021-12-09

Here I’m hiding recurring events. I chose the next seven days, which the URL shows, but it still includes today’s date. Why am I seeing events four to six months from now?

After hearing back from Localist

So apparently, we use the Widget Builder for this, Preview the widget, copy the resulting URL, and change format=html to format=rss:

https://events.stanford.edu/widget/view?schools=stanford&types=37093217343447&days=7&num=50&all_instances=1&format=rss&template=modern

Here I’ve built the same feed, but turned off Include All Matching Instances but they’re in the wrong order:

https://events.stanford.edu/widget/view?schools=stanford&types=37093217343447&days=7&num=50&format=rss&template=modern

So here’s an attempt to figure out the write parameter to add to the query string so it sorts chronologically:

https://events.stanford.edu/widget/view?schools=stanford&types=37093217343447&days=7&num=50&format=rss&direction=asc

And trying again, sorting desc:
