I had a real estate client that did a redesign of his website. On his previous website his listings were presented through IDX/MlS. My client has an MLS account and we have access to the IDX/RETS data feed. Every solution I find costs a good amount of money. When I spoke to my client about this he said on his previous website he wasn't paying anything for the listings to show. He wasn't happy thinking he was going to spend money. So my question is how can i get the listings to show on his new wordpress website I developed in a cost effective method. Thanks!
If you have access to a rets data feed, you need to use a library like phRETS to connect to the MLS and download all the listing data. You'll then parse the raw data into your own database. From there you can query your database for the listings.
Then you'll need to download/parse the newest and updated listings everyday.
Listing photos work exactly the same way (you download, store and display).
If you are not that advanced in programming, your going to need to use a 3rd party idx provider. Find one that makes a wordpress plug in specifically.
Good Luck.
