Events: Have it display future events correctly! #3

Why does today's e-mail show the 18th if that was yesterday? Should only show future events

It looks like the feed is showing them in reverse order... so the oldest one is listed first and the newest last. Unfortunately that's the way the feed is laid out, so that's not something I can change....so that's an XML error. We created a feed to go by order of event date, not post date

Checking...

redrussak commented 12 years ago

Based on talking to MailChimp, it seems that the way the RSS pull function works is to check the URL. In this case, that is: http://startupcity.org/custom-events-rss-feed/. What we need to figure out is what do they call from the XML feed to decide on the order to place those elements. As far as I know, it's not meant to display past events!

PS: Notice how it also doesn't pull in recurring events either? 'TheEasy: Cafe' events should be in that list as well.
