<p>That's the correct behaviour for an RSS feed. I'm guessing the
logic of this is that your website has an RSS importer already
that makes it the desired route.</p>
<p>Both "date" and "datestamp" should be stored in the same format
in EPrints, so you should just have this:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt"><span
style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">my $datestamp =
$eprint->get_value( "date" );</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">
if( $datestamp =~ /^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})
(\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})$/ )</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">
{</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">
my $time = timelocal( $6, $5, $4, $3, $2-1, $1 );</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">
$item->appendChild( $session->render_data_element(</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">
2,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">
"pubDate",</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">
EPrints::Time::rfc822_datetime( $time ) ) );</span></p>
<span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">
}<br>
<br>
So now it's an RSS feed with the dates of the items in the
catalogue, rather than of catalogue records.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Okay,
so the goalposts have shifted on this since talking in more
detail with our ICT team!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Basically,
our repository feeds our staff directory pages in real time
using the available feeds; specifically this feed:
<a
href="http://eprints.lincoln.ac.uk/cgi/exportview/creators/userid/RSS2/userid.xml"
moz-do-not-send="true">
http://eprints.lincoln.ac.uk/cgi/exportview/creators/userid/RSS2/userid.xml</a>.
I did question why the RSS2 feed was being used and received
the answer that this particular feed formats up a
“Description” which can be pulled straight into the staff
profiles which are then ordered based on the date on the
record. So far, so good, but the issue at hand is those
dates. I initially thought the problem was the format that
the dates were coming out in and proposed that we include
the records pre-formatted citation in the standard XML feed
for them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">However,
it now transpires that the date on the RSS2 feed is just
plain wrong; it’s using the datestamp, when the record was
created, rather than the date that the article, book etc was
published, as stored in the date field. For the academics
this means that the records on their staff profile are not
in publication order. So we come back to the decision – use
the standard XML file and add the citation, or change the
RSS2 template to use the published date rather than the
created date. ICT would prefer the latter so that they don’t
have to change the staff directory code.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I’ve
been taking a look at the latter an I think I’ve found the
chunk in the RSS2 script that deals with the date:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I
tried tweaking this to change datestamp to date, however
this completely removed the date from the feed. I’m guessing
that this is something to do with how the RegEx decides to
proceed on the if statement. So I thought I’d see what
happened if I just pushed the date straight into the element
which… didn’t work…<o:p></o:p></span></p>

sure there’s obvious reasons for that which I probably can’t

citation in a more capable feed than RSS2 but I think I’m
going to be at the behest of the Staff Directory here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
