Completely custom theming

[Merv Barrett]

Hi Simeon,

We added a function to Easy Property Listings 1.2 to fix this.

replace {./@modTime} with

[epl_feedsync_format_date({./@modTime})]

That will turn the non standard date format into a usable date.

Perfect 🙂

Not sure where to put suggestions but since we’ve got a nice line of communication going…

Some of my properties are coming through with a Floor Area of 0m, but since the listing-meta.php is coded like this:

if(isset($building_area_value) && $building_area_value != '') {

…they still display as Floor Area is 0m, so I’ve updated the file to:

if(isset($building_area_value) && $building_area_value != '0' && $building_area_value != '') {

Hi Simeon, do you mean that the feed comes to you with a value of 0 instead of it not being there?

I’ve noticed that some of the providers supply info even if the value is 0 or no in which case your fix is correct. Can you supply me a REAXML file so I can filter some of these to not display when set to 0.

The MyDeskop version of REAXML does not provide info if the value is empty.

[Simeon Griggs]

Yeah it’s coming through with zero in it, I can send you the XML, what’s the best address to send to?

[Merv Barrett]

Just zip it up and upload here and mark as private reply and let me know the provider too. Thanks

Also in the process of re-writing the listing-meta.php file to be much better and this will make custom template creation much easier.

Hi Simeon, thanks for that.

RE: Also not sure why but I’m getting a diamond with a question mark in it instead of the superscript 2 in m2.

That was a error in plugins/easy-property-listings/lib/templates/content/listing-meta.php line 345 and possibly your site font not having that character.

Try changing that little 2 to html character ²

Let me know if it works or not. If it is still a diamond meaning your font doesn’t have a sup 2 then i will implement a css solution so it will just create a mini 2 from a big 2.

All these 2’s 🙂

[Simeon Griggs]

I see … any reason why you don’t just use ‘sqm’ like the land size?

[Merv Barrett]

Another user suggested the 2, I think i will swap it back to sqm. But this time i’ll add a filter for the user to be able to modiy that to suit their needs

Hello again 🙂

Any reason why Rental properties wouldn’t be set to Display Rent by default? Is there any option to change this globally?

[Merv Barrett]

Yes because a property price can be a very sensitive piece of information to a real estate agent and accidentally displaying the search price instead of the price text or actually using a no price marketing strategy can cost money to the seller.

But as you are importing the info using our import scripts that should automatically be set for you.

Currently there is no filter to set that globally to on.

[Simeon Griggs]

Okay that makes sense.

I can’t find in the import scripts where I can edit the “Display Rent” and set it to Yes on import?

[Merv Barrett]

The meta value is property_rent_display and the XML node is {rent[1]/@display}

in your XML file it looks like

<rent period="weekly" display="yes">400</rent>

[Simeon Griggs]

Ahhh okay, my files are only showing <rent period="week"> but no display="yes", I’ll look into it.
