‘Authority’ field not being set correctly on import

Hmm, I’ve just had a look at the template, and my feed is outputting the ‘authority’ like so:

<authority value="exclusive"/>

Then the template is adding to the field like so:

{authority[1]}

Does it need to include the ‘@value’ to work?

EDIT: I’ve just discovered that property_authority comes up twice in the template! One with the ‘@value’ one without. Do I delete the one without?

Hi Merv,

I finally switched the plugin version over to the new dev version. A couple of things I needed to tweak to get working with my previous edits and template overrides, but all appears to be ok now.

I noticed you’ve added the Auction time to display in the ‘price’ of a property. I wonder, just for convenience’ sake, if it might be an idea to wrap the time in a span with a class, so that people who don’t want it there can remove it?

I’ve removed it just by deleting it from the relevant section in the listing_meta.php file because it wasn’t necessary for me. But any update in future will override this.

I also noticed a similar thing with the Commercial ‘For Sale’ ‘For Lease’ bits of text in the commercial pricing. Again, I just went in to listing_meta.php and removed the necessary bits, but perhaps these could do with a span tag too? I didn’t need those words to display because I have a separate page for my Commercial properties for sale, and Commercial properties for lease – so it doesn’t need to be said in the price.

Anyway, just an idea.

Thanks Merv!

Hey Merv,

It’s me! Bet you are getting tired of seeing me pop up in your notifications.

We haven’t had any auction properties for a while, so I haven’t had a chance to try out the importing with the auction dates yet.

Authority is being set perfectly – yay!

But I just imported a property today that has an auction date set, and if unfortunately didn’t import it with the property. I have the fields in the import options set to:
{auction[1]} and {auction[1]/@date}

But no luck. Am I doing it right?

Cheers,
Grace

Hi Merv,

Just wondering if there’s anything additional I need to do to ensure that the auction times are being added and removed properly with the new version of the plugin? I remember you saying all would be sorted by this new release.

I guess I won’t know until they edit or add some auction properties. But just thought I’d check that there wasn’t any additional steps?

Cheers,
Grace
