IDX Solution for your blog - PlugandPlay
by MattHey,
I have been writing some code for clients of mine and I thought I would post a simple way to add your IDX framed solution to your blog as a page. Since, I love wordpress, and recommend it to everyone else, I made it a plugin you simply upload to your plugin directory.
Download plugin: Realivent home search plugin v1.0
Instructions:
- Download plugin, then unzip into your plugin directory.
- Activate it. Once activated it will be in under your admin options section.
- add your IDX framed solution link, set width (in %, normally 100% is best), set height (in pixels, normally around 1500), set border (either yes or no), set scrolling (yes, no, auto). Then click update and your settings will be saved in your blog options.
- write a page. Make sure you click on the html tab so that you are writing your page in html, not design mode. Design mode will strip the tags. So, while you are in html mode write this: “<!–Home Search–>” without the quotes and publish the page.
Example website using wolfnet: http://smartlegacy.com/search-for-homes/
I have only used it with wolfnet and SFAR public search, so if you want to use it and have a different idx solution, please try it and let me know if it works for you. If you need help, just send me an email and I’ll get your home search working in your blog.
More features will be developed soon.

January 30th, 2007 at 10:14 pmI am excited about using your Home Search plugin. However, when I attempt to activate the plugin, I get the following error message:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/c21rewp/public_html/wp02/wp-content/plugins/home_search.php:158) in /home/c21rewp/public_html/wp02/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 275
By the way, I am using Wordpress 2.1.1.
February 27th, 2007 at 11:34 pmThank for the info Bloggerbear…Let me install the newest version of Wordpress and see if I can get the error. I think pluggable errors are usually name conflicts…I’ll let you know what I find

February 28th, 2007 at 1:00 amI am very interested in your plug-in, I have a few questions however.
1. Will I get the links across the top of the page that say, ’solds’ etc. and how does this get populated, do I have to do this manually?
2. Will this work with the new updated version of WP?
Thanks so much, please feel free to email me too.
July 18th, 2008 at 12:57 amnot sure but i had a similar error on another plugin. i had to go into that plugin and make sure there was no additional white space before the specific line…
go into the php file using notepad/wordpad/editor
home/c21rewp/public_html/wp02/wp-includes/pluggable.php
and first things first…save an original copy..just incase
then in “workspace” file delete any addition white space at the beginning fo the file
another words pretend the lines below are the top of the files page and that the **** are blank spaces….
__________________________________________________
****
******
beginning of code
remove the white space (****) so that it looks like
_________________________________________________
beginning of code
save the file using the same file name and upload it back into the orig location.
if it works Congrats….if not remove that file and double check the line 275 section….
like i said im not a coder…i know just enough to be dangerous but have had this issue with other plugins and that was what my problem was….
if none of this works remember you still have the orig file that you can put back and know that you are still where started without the changes….
hope that helps….but please dont be mad and SAVE AN ORIGINAL COPY JUST IN CASE!!!!
