Snippets, snippets who's got the snippets :)

Okie dokie,

Thanks for the heads up

Hey Aaron -

I would like to get my hands on this same snippet and any available documentation on fields (for selects) and output options (# listings per page, etc.). After some playing around, I'll probably request some enhancements (billable) - can the snippet support a series of geocodes (like a polygon) for a search area?

Can you help me out?

Thanks!

Hi Mitch,

A programmer will set you up with a "sample" snippet that will have all the available fields you can use for the snippets.
As far as the snippets supporting geocodes by default ... they do not - I'm sure that anything would be possible to set up in a snippet with some custom programming. I will check with the programmers on the polygon idea and get you a quote.

EDIT: We'll send you a list of all the fields in the database - this is a 15 min project.


Thank you,

Hello Mitch

I have created a sample snippet for you. It is called #sample-snippet#

<?

$_REQUEST['search_area'][] = '121';
$_REQUEST['search_area'][] = '122';

Attached is a list of the area codes and what area they are. You can also use the area groups from your search form:

Reno
Sparks
Carson City
Gardnerville/Minden
Lake Tahoe
Topaz Lake
Dayton / Virginia City
Fallon
Fernley
Lyon County
Misc

$_REQUEST['search_zip'] = '12345,78945';

Use this to search for zip codes. Separate multiple zip codes with commas.

$_REQUEST['search_mls'] = '111,222';

Use this to search for MLS numbers.

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

idx is the main property type. Available options are:
residential
commercial
farmorranch
multi-family
vacant-land
lease-only

subtype can only be used with residential. The options for it are:
s = Single Family
c = Condominium
m = Manufactured Housing

$_REQUEST['minimum_price'] = '100000';
$_REQUEST['maximum_price'] = '500000';

$_REQUEST['minimum_bedrooms'] = '1';

$_REQUEST['minimum_bathrooms'] = '1';

$_REQUEST['minimum_half_bathrooms'] = '1';

$_REQUEST['minimum_sqft'] = '1000';

$_REQUEST['minimum_garage'] = '1';

$_REQUEST['minimum_acres'] = '0.125';
$_REQUEST['maximum_acres'] = '40';

$_REQUEST['minimum_year'] = '1940';

These ones are fairly self explanatory.

$_REQUEST['stories'] = 'Spl';

How many stories. Can be 1, 2, 3, Spl, or Tri

$_REQUEST['horses'] = 'Yes';

Horses OK? Yes or No

$_REQUEST['sort'] = 'ASC';

Sort Order. ASC for low price first, DESC for high price first.

// Do not edit below here

include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/idx/pages/snippet.php';

?>

You will need this part at the end to make it work.

You can delete any of the $_REQUEST things that you do not want in a particular snippet.

If you need any more help just let me know.
