    IDX Broker Plugin Integration

    Posted 12 years 6 months ago
    • ~I originally posted this in the Panacea WordPress subforum, but it may be better suited for the Gantry for WordPress Area.

      Thank you in advance for your help!

      I am trying to add IDX Real Estate functionality utilizing the IDX Broker Plugin.

      I need to add 'Syncronization Tags' in the proper .php files within Panacea.
      <?php echo idx_start(); ?> & <?php echo idx_stop(); ?>

      The instructions provided by IDX Broker (maker of the plugin) are located here:
      http://www.idxbroker.com/support/kb/questions/291/Add+IDX+Synchronization+Tags+to+a+Standard+WordPress+Theme

      The instructions are rather straight forward for basic WordPress sites, but I am not sure where to add the tags using Gantry.

      Any help is truly welcome!

      Here is a response I received from the makers of the plugin after asking for their assistance:
      I'm not personally familiar with how the Gantry framework is set up, so you may need to contact the theme designer for assistance placing the tags properly before the content loops. For most themes, you can place our start and stops just inside the appropriate content div tags on either the index.php file or the pages.php file.

      I see that adding the PHP tags may not be enough in this case.

      I only assume that because they have more detailed installation instructions for other frameworks (ie Genesis / Thesis)

      Here are links for those instructions -

      Thesis: www.idxbroker.com/support/kb/questions/3...to+Your+Thesis+Theme

      Atahualpa: www.idxbroker.com/support/kb/questions/3...Your+Atahualpa+Theme

      Thanks again for your help!
      Greatly appreciated.

    • I have figured this out

      install the IDX broker plugin and put in your correct information

      create a blank page and call it search

      in wordpress edit the page.php file

      At the top of the page add the start code like so:
      <?php
      /**
      * @version 1.0 March 3, 2011
      * @author RocketTheme www.rockettheme.com
      * @copyright Copyright (C) 2007 - 2011 RocketTheme, LLC
      * @license www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html GNU/GPLv2 only
      */

      // no direct access
      ?>
      <?php echo idx_start(); ?>

      Add the bottom of the page add the stop code

      like so

      <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

      </div><?php echo idx_stop(); ?>

      in your IDXbroker system (on their site) Add the url of the page that you created

      www.yourwebsite.com/search/

      then you are done
