PLEASE NOTE: The XML feed template files are tested to work, this does not mean that they contain all the values you want to use. It does not mean that the fields used match the Listing Template Fields from your Open-Realty Please check the template before using to determine any changes necessary. Others are contributing feed files and may have them set to use for their purposes. They are provided as a courtesy to the Open-Realty community. Al Smith HereToHost LLC ***************************************************************************** This addon is tested and working with versions 2.4 through 2.5.2 INSTALL: 1. Extract zip file and upload the xmlfeeds folder to your addons folder 2. Copy pageXMLFeeds_main.html to your main template folder 3. Open the addon.inc.php, look for mlsexport. The default is set to "no". If you are using the Open-Realty Allow Listing Exports to identify the listings you want exported then set this to "yes" 4. The following links can be used to access the xmlfeeds: www.yoursite.com/index.php?action=addon_xmlfeeds_trulia&PageID=XMLFeeds www.yoursite.com/index.php?action=addon_xmlfeeds_zillow&PageID=XMLFeeds Just substite the _FEEDNAME with the template you want the addon to process. 4. You can add the following to the rewrite section of your htaccess file for 'friendlier' urls RewriteRule truliafeed.xml index.php?action=addon_xmlfeeds_trulia&PageID=XMLFeeds [L] RewriteRule googlefeed.xml index.php?action=addon_xmlfeeds_zillow&PageID=XMLFeeds [L] then you can use: www.yoursite.com/truliafed.xml www.yoursite.com/zillowfeed.xml *************************************************************************** Seperate the listing section of your template with (see one of the templates) {listing_section} - opening tag {/listing_section - closing tag Use these replacements in your template files * Use {desc} to replace {listing_field_full_desc} * Use {home_features} to replace {listing_field_home_features} * Use {community_features} to replace {listing_field_community_features} OTHER REPLACEMENT TAGS: $baseurl = $config['baseurl']; $base_url = $config['baseurl']; $site_title = $config["seo_default_title"]; You can use the same fields used on the listing view page to add listing data except for the description field. Use {desc} for the description field. IMPORTANT: Make sure your template files contain the minimal fields required for each feed. Make sure the fields used in the feeds are required when adding/editing listings. An empty field can cause the entire feed to be rejected by the site. *********************************************************************** NOTICE: Create a new feed - Adding new feeds Want to create more feeds, You guessed it just make a new xml file for the feed then place it in the templates folder. I used google for the feed file to create the google.xml so you see if you want to make a feed for say Vast. Just create a feed file named vast with all the xml formatted placing it in the templates folder. The Admin will pick up the new template and display the link to run the feed. To run the feed(s) manually: call the addon with: Example: to run the vast feed www.yoursite.com/index.php?action=addon_xmlfeeds_vast&PageID=XMLFeed or with the RewriteRule RewriteRule vastfeed.xml index.php?action=addon_xmlfeeds_vast&PageID=XMLFeed [L] NEW: You can also create a csv export file. Yes, using this addon you can create csv files. Just put CSV in the templates filename. Place your template tags all on one line seperated by a comma (or the delimiter you want to use.) NOTE: Remember to use {listing_section} and {/listing_section} to enclose your listing template tags. **************************************************************************
