adding rental section Can't Post
Hello
We have a lot of rentals in our portfolio and I was wondering where I can find some information to add this to the website. Or maybe someone who has done this already can explain how to tackle this in common language?Blush

Hi panthony,

I'm afraid I don't know what that would involve. Can you show me an example of what house rentals would look like on a website?

If I can figure out exactly what you want, I can tell you how to set it up.
Chris

Sorry I am not clear enough.
Realtors have house and apartment rental listings as well. Your script offers no facilities to show and search rental listings as far as I can see. So we are asking you how that can be done.Smile

Hi,

Here are the steps to add rentals:

1. Create a new section in the admin for "Rentals". Add all the fields that you need. Ex. Rent Price, Address, City, etc.

2. Copy the following templates:
listings.php
listingDetail.php
search.php

and rename the copied files to
rentals.php
rentalDetail.php
rental_search.php

3. Open all the rental templates in a code editor and replace the code for the listings section with code for the rental section.

For the search engine page, this requires adding rent minimum and maximum dropdown with rental prices for searching by rent price range. Also the form action needs to go to rentals.php instead of listings.php and the other search fields, dropdowns may need to be changed depending on what you want to make searchable for rentals.

Upload the template to your site

4. Make sure the viewer URLS for rental point to the new pages. Admin > Section Editors > Rentals - Viewer Urls tab. Example:
List Page Url: rental.php
Detail Page Url: rentalDetail.php

5. Add links on the site to the rental index and rental search engine.

Hope that helps.
