Zone Snippet

[Bradvhomes]

I'm trying to create a new snippet for the different quadrants of Calgary. I have tried a few different options without any luck.

/* Search Subdivision */
//$_REQUEST['search_subdivision'][] = '';
$_REQUEST['search_zone'][] = 'nw';

and

/* Search Subdivision */
//$_REQUEST['search_subdivision'][] = '';
$_REQUEST['search_quadrant'][] = 'nw';

Can anyone send me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Brad

Hi Brad,

Welcome to the forums. Could you please post a link to your site? It's most likely that the search is not set up to search zones and quadrants ... and you may need some programming time to set it up. I can check for you.

Thank you,

Hey Arron,

Yeah my site is www.bradvhomes.com

Just let me know what the next step is!

Thanks so much.

Hi Brad,

It appears that this will require a work order. Please post in the work orders forum for an estimate, or contact sales. Here is a page that outlines how to order new work. http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/...g-new-work.php

Brad - this is "normally" a work order on the custom side of REW - but because you folks are "product" based (as in no custom functionality is permitted) - then it is actually a "feature request" in which case it will take labor to do - but it will need to be added for everyone.

This one will not take long, so I will authorize it's implementation system wide. Future system wide upgrades will likely require billing unless we have a large enough demand (which will require a much larger user base than we currently have)

That sounds awesome. I also am having an issue setting up a search for particular areas to provide all the current results for single family homes and condos. Below is a sample of the snippet I'm trying to use:

/* Snippet Settings */
$_REQUEST['snippet_title'] = 'Arbour Lake Homes';
$_REQUEST['snippet_price_table'] = true;

/* Search City */
//$_REQUEST['search_city'][] = 'Calgary';

/* Search Subdivision */
$_REQUEST['search_subdivision'][] = 'arbour lake';

/* Search Postal Code */
//$_REQUEST['search_postal'][] = '';

/* Search by MLS Number */
//$_REQUEST['search_mls'][] = '';

/* Property Type */
$_REQUEST['idx'] = 'single-family';
$_REQUEST['idx'] = 'condo-or-townhouse';
//$_REQUEST['idx'] = 'mobile';
//$_REQUEST['idx'] = 'rural';

Thanks guys, you have been a great help. I'm very glad I made the switch and will definitely spread the word around the office.

Hi Brad!

I've added the ability for you to search by city quadrant. Here is the snippet of code that can be used:

    /* Search Quadrant */
    //$_REQUEST['search_quadrant'][] = 'NE';
    //$_REQUEST['search_quadrant'][] = 'NW';
    //$_REQUEST['search_quadrant'][] = 'SE';
    //$_REQUEST['search_quadrant'][] = 'SW';

Just remove the comments for the criteria you want to search.

I've also added this into the #idx-sample-snippet# for reference of all available snippet criteria.

Hi Brad! I've updated the REW IDX Platform to allow you to search more than one "IDX" at a time. This is the snippet code that you want to use (instead of the above):

    /* Union Search */
    $_REQUEST['union'] = true;

    /* Property Type */
    $_REQUEST['idx'][] = 'single-family';         // Single Family
    $_REQUEST['idx'][] = 'condo-or-townhouse';    // Condo / Townhouse
    //$_REQUEST['idx'][] = 'mobile';                // Mobile
    //$_REQUEST['idx'][] = 'rural';                 // Rural

The additional ['union'] criteria is set to true (required), and then the property type criteria has the "[]" added to them. This combines the options instead of over writing them.

The lines above will search Single Family & Condo / Townhouse listings. You can remove the comments ("//") to search by Mobile and Rural as well. Or even make up your own crazy combination. :-P

Let me know if you have any issues with this new additional to the CIR Snippets.

Cheers!
