mrc013I think you should add more customisation to commercial properties. Also as far as short codes are concerned creating short codes that coincide with different commercial property categories. A commercial property search would be very useful as well. More commercial agencies would be inclined to use this product if you were to add these things.
I’m happy to help provide you with what other custom paid CMS’ are using.
I have attached an example.
mrc013Also as far as database schema is concerned you should get the plugin to create a new table just for property listings so it would be easier for the developers to migrate from any CMS to this plugin.
Just a few thoughts 🙂
Merv BarrettThanks for your feedback.
Our first goal was to be REAXML compliant for all the property types which we are now.
2nd was to add the ability to customise the plugin with hooks and filters which has been done which allows you to add your own sections where needed.
3rd goal is to expand the plugin to support idx and RETS. Its a big job and will take some time for that part.
Commercial Fields

We decided not to build a separate database as that is outside of the core WordPress function and can cause other problems, but really it should not be any different migrating to this from other CMS’s.
Attached is a commercial add listing page which has even more fields than your attached image.
You can add more categories through the included filter.

What we really need is better documentation and video tutorials etc, which are coming…
Search…. yep thats a bug, the House Category should be the commercial category stuff. Thanks for letting me know.
Keep asking for features as that really helps
Thanks again
Merv BarrettShortcodes
RE: creating short codes that coincide with different commercial property categories.
Already in place, use [listing_category]
In your case you can use
[listing_category post_type=”commercial” category_key=”property_commercial_category” category_value-“Medical/Consulting”]
mrc013You sir are a legend. I’ll let you know how I go with all of that 🙂
mrc013Is there a way to use the below short code to show only listings for sale or for lease?
[listing_category post_type=”commercial” category_key=”property_commercial_category”
category_value-“Medical/Consulting”]
Merv BarrettThere was not, thanks for the feedback.
Replace this file in the plugin and see how it works for you.
Note: This change will be included in the next version when released on WordPress. And may include it as a bug fix in a 1.2.1 update.
Merv BarrettAh, perhaps some instructions 🙂
Replace the file
/plugins/easy-property-listings/lib/shortcodes/shortcode-listing-category.php
With the one from the GitHub link.
I’ve added the commercial_listing_type variable.
So now you can use this
[listing_category post_type=”commercial” commercial_listing_type=”sale” category_key=”property_commercial_category”
category_value-“Medical/Consulting”]
The variable can be the following:
mrc013Works perfectly!
Good stuff!
One last question. Is there a sold and leased variable as well for commercial. Sorry to ask so many questions. I’m just trying to really understand how this all works.
Merv BarrettNo problem… need better documentation.
The variable you are asking for is the status=””
eg:
[listing_category post_type=”commercial” status=”current” commercial_listing_type=”sale” category_key=”property_commercial_category”
category_value-“Medical/Consulting”]
Its how the REAXML format works. Complicated beast but its pretty well thought out.
Merv BarrettAnd your questions are helping me make better documentation, so please keep asking 🙂
Merv BarrettJust letting you know i’ve moved this topic to the Basic Support area
Merv BarrettJust pushed the new release of Easy Property Listings version 1.2.1 with the update above included. Thanks for your help
mrc013Awesome. I just noticed. Good work!
mrc013Just a quick note. The shortcode for Commercial listings isn’t displaying by category its only displaying all listings either for sale or lease. For example the shortcode below is displaying all commercial properties for sale.
[listing_category post_type=”commercial” commercial_listing_type=”sale” category_key=”property_commercial_category”
category_value-“Industrial/Warehouse”]

I just wanted to say how much I love this plugin. I’m working on a small website for my father-in-laws property management page and I’m sure I’ve looked at every.single.realestate.plugin that exists. Yours tops them all.
