snippet search by zip code

[ChrisL]

Is it possible to create snippets that search by zip code?

What is the syntax?

[ChrisL]

Can I also do snippets by year built?

I want to target some historic homes that were built in the 1920s and 1930's


what would be ideal in a snippet for me


max_year_built
min_year_built

If this exists already, please tell me how to map to it in a snippet

Zip code should be

$_REQUEST['search_zip'];

Year Built -

$_REQUEST['minimum_year'];
$_REQUEST['maximum_year'];

These "should" work - I didn't test them on your site - but in theory they should work.

no luck on the ZIP snippet

Here is my snippet:

<?php

$_REQUEST['snippet'] = true;
$_REQUEST['page_limit'] = 10;
$_REQUEST['minimum_price'] = '';
$_REQUEST['maximum_price'] = '410000';
$_REQUEST['search_zip']='32223';


$_REQUEST['idx'] = 'residential';

include_once $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/idx/common.inc.php";
include_once $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/idx/pages/snippet.php";

?>

Here is the page with the results:
http://www.sunshinestatesales.com/zip.php

it does not trigger the zip code

nevermind, the zip code is working....I was missing the ''

$_REQUEST['search_zip']='32205'; works fine
