Building Lots

[Pinehurst Real Estate Guy]

I cannot figure out how to create a search for building lots and that has been a must have and priviously agreed upon issue since before I signed up for REW IDX.

That being said it is probably my work in the coding or building a snippet but I can't find 'building lots' or 'lots' anywhere to add to a snippet within a neighborhood/subdivision.

example of what I need to do is: (except this does not work)

/* Subdivision Search */
$_REQUEST['search_subdivision'][] = 'xxx 22';
$_REQUEST['search_subdivision'][] = 'xxx 44';
$_REQUEST['search_subdivision'][] = 'xxx 55';
$_REQUEST['search_subdivision'][] = 'xxx 99';

/* Property Type */
$_REQUEST['idx']= 'land'; (tried 'lots'; also)

Results need to be all the building lots in the all 'xxx ##'; subdivision

Of course the beginning and ending coding included was included.

I don't see an option for = 'lots'; and I need that.

In the example all 'xxx ##'; make up a subdivision and from I can tell without any other trigger tripped the default shows only homes and not building lots.

I currently have my AA site setup whereas you can search select neighborhoods/subdivisions for either homes or building lot and thought it would be easy to carry that over to my new super duper, blazing hot, money maker REW website. Boy that even pumps me up

There are also some other quirks that don't make sense to me but I'll try and keep each issue separate - time consuming - but separate.

I also understand why people would rather not post exacting details here to get something done - I know a few of my competitors are
here from time to time too.

Morning Don,

Sorry for the delay in response, I hope the weekend was good to you.

I took a look at the IDX and updated the settings so you can correctly search the subdivision field for the 'Land' class. The 'search_subdivision' code will work for land now.

As for searching against lot, you can use the code below in your snippet. This is because the Land class is broken into two types. The code to search each type individually is below.

// Search Land - Lots
$_REQUEST['idx'] = 'land';
$_REQUEST['search_type'] = 'Lots';

// Search Land - Land/Acreage
$_REQUEST['idx'] = 'land';
$_REQUEST['search_type'] = 'Land/Acreage';

If you have any trouble with this or need a more detailed explanation, please feel free to email me and we can get everything going.

Have a great daym
