RSS Feed Customization
Hi, I am curious if there are any options to customize the RSS Feed. For example:

http://www.localendar.com/public/mycalenadarname?style=M3

then add an ampersand and other parameters? I am most interested in specifying a date or date range. I have seen some RSS feeds that allow you do this - like specify a start date and a number of weeks to display or something similar. Is anything like this possible?

Thanks,
Heather

Re: RSS Feed Customization
You can specify a start date in most of these queries, but the length seems to be set depending on which RSS feed style you use. I have not found any option for ending date.

E.g. ?style=M3&start_date=04/01/07
will give you the RSS monthly feed for April 2007.

Re: RSS Feed Customization
That's correct.

We purposely did not support "end_date" because we did not want to expose ourselves to malicious attacks where people would use a url like end_date='1/1/2099' and kill server performance.

If we were to cap end date, what do you think a reasonable # of days forward would be?

Re: RSS Feed Customization
1 month or 30 days would be reasonable in my opinion.
