We have an issue where we are importing an RSS feed of calendar events into a forum as there seems no way to make a post advising of a new calendar event.

When we import the RSS feed from the calendar the date of each post is set to the date of the event - not ideal at all.

One of the biggest issues with this is that in the activity stream these posts are always at the top due to their date in advance.

Does anyone know of an app or similar to be able to change the date of the topic - or some other way around our issue.

 

Thanks!

The simplest method is to change it directly in the database. Is saved as an unix time stamp which can be converted here: http://www.unixtimestamp.com/

Thanks

Was rather trying to avoid database diving

 

 

Yep but currently there is no plugin for this (I don't know one) and this is the easiest way (you don't need to build a plugin and can adjust it in phpMyAdmin easily).

Where in the database do you go to change it?
