Thread: Question abuot getting fields added

  1. #1

    Default Question abuot getting fields added

    Aaron and I have had a few discussions in the past regarding what fields are available in the idx file. webmaster also made reference to 'open house' data as well.

    So now I have question about getting fields added to the file.

    Who would I direct this question to, REW Reed?

    I would like to get a few additional fields added to our feed for snippets.

    Thanks in advance

    We can't actually add anything to the feed, but I will check to see if it is already available in the database of stored fields.

    I realize you can not add, but who would I request these fields be added from?

    I only found 13 listings in the Residential listings that used 'open house' in the remarks field. I did not see any other data indicating open house listings in the feed. If you can enter open house info into the MLS, and can see it for other listings in the MLS, I would contact your MLS and see if they can add it to the feed. It would require some programming to update the feed to receive this new information and make a custom snippet, but this looks to be the only way to get this info on your website.

    I'm more interested in school information Reed, not sure if there is any in the feed at the moment.

    Can you check on that before I request the fields be added?

    Hold up a moment on calling your MLS. We're checking the actual data files to make sure it's not there either.

    The database has ELEM_SCHOOL, MIDDLE_SCHOOL and HIGH_SCHOOL fields. I will pass this on to a programmer to quote how much the custom snippet would cost.

    I could not see any open house data on the MLS Boards FTP server.

    Reed mentioned something about the values of the schools being lookup codes .... I do not see a lookup file on the FTP so that might be an issue ... but typically adding a few more fields would take about 1/2hr .... testing included


    Thank you,
