Use feed date doesn't work

Reported by i9k | July 5th, 2008 @ 07:20 AM

I've tried it on many feeds, all conditions seem to be met, but it just won't set the feed date.

WP 2.5.1

WP-o-Matic 1.0RC3-7

    Similar issue with me, I can't even check the option box, every time I hit submit its unchecked again

    • Milestone cleared.
    • State changed from “new” to “open”

    I'll test this feature more thoroughly later.

    It seems the issue with this may be what is detailed in the help file...

    "The feed item date is not is not too far in the past (specifically, as much time as the campaign frequency)"

    Then add to that that the max campaign frequency is a int(5) that means only posts less than 1day 3hours old can possibly be eligible.

    And it's probably a different issue, but individual campaign settings don't appear to save on submit.

    Thanks for the hard work Guillermo!

    It seems like criteria set for the feed date is too strict.

    Probably, providing more options for the feed date will be a better idea because most likely people would want it to appear with the feed date regardless of whether it's old or not and sometimes the feed date might be using a different XML tag.

    Thanks.

    • Tag set to wp-o-matic, date

    I took a hint from Tony and when I set up a new campaign and feed I set that to 90 days update.

    Then I was able to import the feed with correct dates being assigned to the posts.

    I have now set the update to daily, and resaved the campaign

    What I'm hoping is that it will update properly now. Thanks!

    • Tag changed from wp-o-matic, date to date, wp-o-matic

    In found that just eliminating the data check solved the problems--maybe this should be a separate option? Something like "Strict Dates"? That way, if users aren't concerned with future dates and timezone issues, they will always be able to get the dates.

    For now just comment out a little code at line 585:

    if($campaign->feeddate) // && ($item->get_date('U') > (current_time('timestamp', 1) - campaign->frequency) && $item->get_date('U') < current_time('timestamp', 1))) $date = $item->get_date('U');

    I made a post at 11:42 PM last night, and it showed up in the feed as having been posted at that time.

    When WP-o-Matic posted the item, it took the time 3:30 AM, which is when the cron job ran.
