News item sort order
Most RSS news feeds are automatically sorted with the newest items
at the top. This option allows you to change the sort order if
required. The sort direction option allows ASC (ascending order) and
DESC (descending order).
Add date/time to news item title
By default, our RSS control doesn't display the date or times of news
items next to them. This tab allows you to put the news item date or
time next to the Title. This can be useful when news items can go out
of date. With local traffic news feeds, then the time of news items is
very important.
Your options are:
NO CHANGES - Dates and times are not added to news items.
PREFIX HEADER WITH DATE/TIME - This puts the date, time or
date/time before news item titles.
SUFFIX HEADER WITH DATE/TIME - This puts the date, time or
date/time after news item titles.
With both the
PREFIX HEADER WITH DATE/TIME and SUFFI
X HEADER
WITH DATE/TIME option you also have date/time prefix and suffix fields.
These are so you can add padding between your choose date format and the
title. You will also be able to choose for to format the date/time.
Example
A news items like:
Date |
12/12/2020 09:56AM |
Title |
Christmas is coming |
Descriptions |
This year is will definitely be snowing |
If we select
PREFIX HEADER WITH DATE/TIME and select DATE IN WORDS

and use the Date/time suffix of " - " then will display the news item above
as:
12 December 2020 - Christmas is coming
i.e. if putting the <prefix><date><suffix><title>. The Culture
box is useful when you want the month in words, but in a different language,
so if we put es-ES in the Culture box:
you will see that 'December' becomes 'diciembre'.
