Improve default feeds

[carstingaxion]

Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently events use the absolute default for their rendered output, which results in weird feed data.

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="GatherPress &raquo; Events Feed" href="" />

Even it is not referenced in the sites html, the default feed for events at example.org/event/feed returns

• all published events, regardless of their event timing
• ordered by publication date

https://gatherpress.org/events/feed (in opposite to the before mentioned,) returns all comments AND RSVPs colorfully mixed which makes it almost completely useless.

One can be lucky, when the event-date block is still at the top of the content, so its gets shown in the auto generated excerpt. But this depends on editors choice, if the first five blocks were paragraph blocks, this would just be a regular excerpt.

Designs

The rendered feed content for events could be improved by:

• only listing upcoming events
• ordered by start date & time
• filtering the_excerpt_rss to return event dates & venue, and append an excerpt, if one was explicitly set

The feed for comments and RSVPs should be separated into two.

Note:

• example.org/event/feed/ ?? order by event date

• example.org/venue/my-sample-venue/feed/ ?? is prob. 404, should be normal tax-feed

• example.org/feed/ ?? does it contain RSVPs ?

• example.org/event/my-sample-event/feed/ ?? does it contain RSVPs ?

• example.org/event/my-sample-event/feed/rsvp ?? similar to the comments feed

• example.org/event/my-sample-event/rsvp endpoint as accessible replacement/source of the modal; with login block etc.
