Snippet help

[papaul1621]

Aaron,

What is the snippet code to separate from Single Family Homes(Detached) and Condo/Townhomes (Attached)?

If I want to do a Foreclosure snippet to search for words like Bank Owned, Foreclosure, REO, etc. in the Description, what is the code for it?

One more, if I want a snippet to be for all cities, how do I do that? (Ex. for the Foreclosure snippet I want to do)

Please let me know. Thanks.

Paul,
I am wanting to do the exact same thing.
Display foreclosures. I have also been using 1PP but am so disappointed with their lack of any type customer service. My site has not worked since we upgraded our MLS 2 months ago. They just don't care. Steve Hundley won't take my calls.
Anyways, I have been building foreclosure searches by pulling them form the MLS and manually building the list with the MLS #'s.
Having a snippet built that searches the remarks sounds like a real good solution.
Did I meet you or your partner at REO mac last spring?
Are you going to San Antonio next month?

Aaron,

What is the snippet code to separate from Single Family Homes(Detached) and Condo/Townhomes (Attached)?

You should be able to set the "idx" variable - you can only set one of these per snippet - here is the code to use:
$_REQUEST['idx'] = "townhouseorcondo";
or
$_REQUEST['idx'] = "single-family";

If I want to do a Foreclosure snippet to search for words like Bank Owned, Foreclosure, REO, etc. in the Description, what is the code for it?

Let me get back to you on this one - I don't think this would be set up by default - I know you have an existing work order to change the cities to zip codes - so I'll slip it into that project. Sandicor may even have a field that you can use to determine if the listing is a Foreclosure.

One more, if I want a snippet to be for all cities, how do I do that? (Ex. for the Foreclosure snippet I want to do)

You can remove line of code that calls the city:

$_REQUEST['search_city'][] = 'poway';

Or you can "comment out" the line by adding 2 slashes // so it ends up looking like:
//$_REQUEST['search_city'][] = 'poway';

Thanks Aaron, that would be great if you can have it done in one project. Also for Sandicor, our way to search for Foreclosures is to do a search in the field of REMARKS for keywords like Bank Owned, Foreclosure, REO etc... So if it is not done by default, I would like it have. I know you have other clients with Sandicor that have a Foreclosure snippet, maybe check to see the way they did it.

Also I do have another work order to have the phone number required to sign up on my IDX, so if you can add it to my project, that would be great.

By the way, its Saturday, go home and relax...

Aaron,

Got a quick question, for a snippet, how can have it show the list of home priced from the Highest to Lowest, not Lowest to Highest?

Aaron,

Another question, you know how a snippet shows different price ranges that people can click, well there are some areas in San Diego that have a lot of homes well over $1,000,000 with not much homes less than that. So how can I change the way the price ranges that come up?

This should work:

$_REQUEST['sort'] = "ASC"; // Lowest to highest
or
$_REQUEST['sort'] = "DESC"; // highest to Lowest

Here is a thread that answers that http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/thread28611.html
