Having Troubles with IDX snippets

David Abernathy · 09:56 AM

Working on the www.QuantumOne.com website.

We recently added the REW IDX solution and have been creating the snippets. This morning some of the pages with snippets are working -
http://www.quantumone.com/valencia.php

and some of the are not -

I was starting to create some snippets based on community, property type and price range -
see snippet called #bocaraton0-2# and then add them to pages like -
http://www.quantumone.com/bocaratonhomesforsale0-2.php

It does not look to me that it is even recognizing that I created the snippet...any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks Dave

FYI - I did some more experiments - if I edit an existing snippet, it works - so the issue appears only to be on the new snippets?

Is there a limit on the number of snippets?

Thanks again

Dave

There is no limit to the number of snippets - my suspicion is that you need to modify the query for those areas not working because they may belong in a different column in the database than the column of the ones that work.

Unfortunately, I do not have access to your schema at this moment, but we will have your programmer assist you with this first thing tomorrow.

Morgan - call if you get a chance - either later this evening or in the morning

I would like your assistance on getting another REW template and IDX running for a new prospect!!! The one I was meeting with Friday.

Morgan - when I take the snippet code for the new snippets and paste them into the old named snippets - they work. Based on the results of testing my new snippet code in the old named snippets - I have to think something else is the issue.

Thanks as always for the quick responses!!!

Hmmm that is a weird one, I just tried one myself (I do have access to CMS passwords)

I used

Code:

$_REQUEST['search_city'][] = 'Boca Raton';
$_REQUEST['idx'] = 'residential';
$_REQUEST['minimum_price'] = 0;
$_REQUEST['maximum_price'] = 200000;

Which should work, and for some reason, nada!

LMAO never mind, I spelled my own snippet wrong hahahahahah - Just doing some testing.

Morgan - try adding your snippet code in the #hiddenkey# snippet. For me at least when I change the old ones they work?

Thanks for your efforts.

Dave I think I figured out the problem, I don't think you can use numbers in the names of a snippet

For instance, you are using #bocaratonhomes02# and it does nothing for you, I created one (Which is working on that same page) called #bocaratonhomeszerotwo# and it seems to be working just fine.

Might not be a problem with your queries, but in the way you are naming your snippets - this is a new one to me, Aaron might no more about it. Can you try creating one with your broken snippet but don't put a number in the name?

Aaron · 09-09-2007, 06:55 PM

Part of the issue must be the names of the snippets - at first when we made the snippets we made them so they could not have numbers in them. They should allow numbers - which I will fix when I have access to the code for your site.
