INSTRUCTIONS

Click the "Properties" tab (above), then click "RSS Feed" in the left side menu...If there are any changes/additions/updates, make sure and "Save" once you've made your changes/additions/updates, then click the "Rebuild Feed" button.

Here are reference notes on the fields that you will fill out for each event:

  • "Description" should be the descriptive text for the event.  If you need formatting,  you will need to copy the source code from another source/page and paste into this field.  This will give you paragraph <p> tags, line breaks <br />, links <a>, bold text <strong>, etc. 
  • "Link" should be the URL for the "Purchase Tickets" button (i.e., "https://www.winthrop.edu/cvpa/theatre/box-office.aspx") for the event.
  • "Publish Date" should be set to the date of the event.
  • "Publish Time" should be set to the time the event will start on the "Publish Date" above.
  • "Media" is the image you want to display for the event.

To add an end date to an event:

Copy and paste the following code into the "Extra XML" section at the bottom for each event listing that needs an end date:

<pubDate2>01/01/2023</pubDate2> (zero prefixes for the month and/or day - this is the most ideal format but try and stay consistent)

<pubDate2>1/1/2023</pubDate2> (no zero prefixes for the month and/or day)

<pubDate2>1/01/2023</pubDate2> (mix and match zero prefixes)

* Please keep the year in a 4 digit format.

* The <pubDate2> tag DOES NOT have to be added in the "Extra XML" section if there is no run through date.

Event Types and Showing Events:

All events will be shown unless you add the <show> tag as shown below...Make sure and add this code to the "Extra XML" section at the bottom for each event that you DO NOT want to show up on the home page slider/carousel and events.aspx page:
<show>no</show>


Set the <dept> tag in "Extra XML" for the event to show up in certain departments...Options are:

<dept>Dance</dept>
<dept>Design</dept>
<dept>BFA</dept>
<dept>Galleries</dept>
<dept>Music</dept>
<dept>Theatre</dept>
<dept>BFA</dept>

To add a second department - such as Theatre AND Dance - you can add <dept2>...For example:
<dept>Theatre</dept>
<dept2>Dance</dept2>

* No more than 2 departments per event are valid at this time.

ADDING LINKS

There are four options for the "Link" field:

  1. By default, the "Link" field is set to "[auto]" - which defaults to "https://www.winthrop.edu/cvpa/events-rss-feed.aspx" - leaving this on [auto] however, will simply remove any ticket link button and remove the https://www.winthrop.edu/cvpa/events-rss-feed.aspx URL.
  2. Setting the "Link" field to "https://www.winthrop.edu/culturalevents/events.aspx" will yield a "Cultural Event" button linked to this URL.
  3. Setting the "Link" field to "https://www.winthrop.edu/cvpa/theatre/box-office.aspx" will yield a "Purchase Tickets" button linked to this URL.
  4. Setting the "Link" field to any other URL will yield a "More Information" button linked to whatever URL is assigned.
