Featured Listing Plugin updated - Now with Bird’s Eye View and Custom Widget Skins
by Matt
It's plugfest 2007 here at Realivent. This entire week will be blogging about plugins, widgets, and extensions. So tune in all week.
The first update we have completed is for the featured listings.
Featured Listing Overview.
This plugin builds a page to display your listings and created a widget for your wordpress sidebar. The benefit of this plugin, is that the website visitor does not get sent to a third party website to view the listing, or pop open a window (pop-up blockers). The website visitor stays on your website and views all your listings. The plugin also allows you to create a single featured listings. For example if you want to create a single property website, the plugin will automatically make the entry page (landing page) for your wordpress blog the highlighted listing instead of the default blog page.
Updates
- Added Bird's eye view for listings. Now you can map the property on a google map and also get the bird's eye view from microsoft maps.
- Added the title for the listings. Many people were asking why they added a title when inserting a listing into the system, but it did not appear in the plugin. Well, now it is…We just missed it on the previous versions.
- Along with automatically adding a widget, you can now just pull the listings code out and add to your own sidebar widget.
Simply place the new function in a custom container
<?php get_listings_only() ?> If custom widget skins is over your head, give us a call, we can make custom skins for you to match your website look and feelExample of custom widget skins: smartlegacy.com
The updated plugin is available in the widgets section of this blog. You can simply upload over the old featured listing plugin, you do not have to delete the page and recreate it, or de-activate the plugin and reinstall.
