Member	andy-procaresoftware - 9/4/2012 12:48:03 PM RSS Feed for News shows incorrect time We have an RSS Link on our newsfeed. When viewing the feed it displays the time as posted 7 hours prior. IE: We posted a news article at 9:45 am this morning. The RSS feed says it was at 2:44 am. Thanks for any help I can get here.


Certified Developer 8	Jiveabillion - 9/4/2012 12:52:07 PM RE:RSS Feed for News shows incorrect time What time does it say when you view it in the form tab? What is the time zone of your server?


Member	andy-procaresoftware - 9/4/2012 1:14:05 PM RE:RSS Feed for News shows incorrect time When I edit the news post it shows the correct time in the "Release Date" field (9/4/2012 9:45:36 AM). The Server time is Pacific Time (GMT-8) and is set properly.


Certified Developer 8	Jiveabillion - 9/4/2012 1:33:22 PM RE:RSS Feed for News shows incorrect time Does the transformation for your rss feed use UTC time or is it doing anything other than directly outputting the date? I am on my phone right now do I can't check the default transformations.

RE:RSS Feed for News shows incorrect time

Sorry - I'm not sure how I can find that.
I have opened the RSS Repeater and viewed the SecuredNewsRSSItem transformation, (code below). Time Zone set to inherit - Custom Time Zone: none.

Certified Developer 8	Jiveabillion - 9/4/2012 2:17:32 PM RE:RSS Feed for News shows incorrect time See where it is doing Eval("NewsReleaseDate").ToString("r")? If you take out the "r" argument, it will output the date you see when you edit it. Google C# Datetime format strings to learn more about it.


Certified Developer 8	Jiveabillion - 9/4/2012 2:27:50 PM RE:RSS Feed for News shows incorrect time Depending on your target audience, you may want to keep it as using UTC time because of time zone differences. Some rss aggregators automatically change the date to the users local time.


Member	andy-procaresoftware - 9/4/2012 6:49:15 PM RE:RSS Feed for News shows incorrect time Thank you, I was able to make that change as suggested and it worked.
