[Tex/LaTex] How to add a date and institutional affiliation to the Fibeamer theme’s titlepage

Question

Fibeamer Beamer theme

This theme has only Title of the presentation, subtitle and author name. I want to add date and affiliation. Thanks for the help.

documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme[microtype,faculty=fsps]{fibeamer} 
\author{Karthik}
\title{Title of the document}
\date{8.10.2017}
\institute{My institute}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}

I took the original theme's style file from Overleaf – can be accessed here. Edited it to remove the university logo. My output file looks like this.

You can define your own title page and add the missing information wherever you want it to go. In the following example, I added it after the author:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme[microtype,faculty=fsps]{fibeamer} 
\author{Karthik}
\title{Title of the document}
\date{8.10.2017}
\institute{My institute}

\makeatletter
\setbeamertemplate{title page}{%
  % This is slide 0
  \setcounter{framenumber}{0}

  % Input the university logo
  \begin{tikzpicture}[
    remember picture,
    overlay,
    xshift=0.5\fibeamer@lengths@logowidth,
    yshift=0.5\fibeamer@lengths@logoheight
  ]
    \node at (0,0) {
      \fibeamer@includeLogo[
        width=\fibeamer@lengths@logowidth,
        height=\fibeamer@lengths@logoheight
      ]};
  \end{tikzpicture}

  % Input the title
  \usebeamerfont{title}%
  \usebeamercolor[fg]{title}%
  \begin{minipage}[b][2\baselineskip][b]{\textwidth}%
    \raggedright\inserttitle
  \end{minipage}
  \vskip-.5\baselineskip

  % Input the dashed line
  \begin{pgfpicture}
    \pgfsetlinewidth{2pt}
    \pgfsetroundcap
    \pgfsetdash{{0pt}{4pt}}{0cm}

    \pgfpathmoveto{\pgfpoint{0mm}{0mm}}
    \pgfpathlineto{\pgfpoint{\textwidth}{0mm}}

    \pgfusepath{stroke}
  \end{pgfpicture}
  \vfill
  % Input the subtitle
  \usebeamerfont{subtitle}%
  \usebeamercolor[fg]{subtitle}%
  \begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
    \raggedright%
    \insertsubtitle%
  \end{minipage}\vskip.25\baselineskip

  % Input the author's name
  \usebeamerfont{author}%
  \usebeamercolor[fg]{author}%
  \begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
    \raggedright%
    \insertauthor\newline%
    \insertinstitute\newline%
    \insertdate%
  \end{minipage}%
}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}
