Featured listing: links don't work Can't Post
On this page http://www.whidbeyproperties.net/ ----

The "featured listings" links are not linking back to its respective page. The html looks like this:

http://www.whidbeyproperties.net/template_files/http://www.whidbeyproperties.net/listman/listings/l0001.html

Since this is a server-side include into another page how do I fix this so that it will not automatically do this everytime I feature a listing?

Thanks,
Steve

I followed that as close as could when I set it up. However, I did have to change a path differently than the example to make it work on my site.

The example/tutorial path:
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/listman/search.cgi?search=1&lfield25_keyword=yes&template=_featured_results.html" -->

The path on my page:
<!--#include virtual="/listman/exec/search.cgi?search=1&lfield25_keyword=yes&template=_featured_results.html" -->

Do I need to have a cgi-bin folder? If so, what should the path be?

Steve

Hi smithsr,

If you have a standard installation, the answer is yes, you do need the cgi-bin folder and the path in the tutorial should work. If you have modified the standard installation you will need to contact the help team via email to request assistance, as they will need your ftp details. "https://www.interactivetools.com/support/email_support.cgi"
If however you are happy to let the administrator select the feature property, their is an alternative. Simply if you don't need this to be enabled for superusers only (ie, if you want any account to be able to set a listing as featured) you can skip uploading the interface templates in step 2, and skip step 3 completely.

The other thing to check is why you are getting:
http://www.whidbeyproperties.net/template_files/http://www.whidbeyproperties.net/listman/listings/l0001.html
As the path should I belive simply read: http://www.whidbeyproperties.net/listman/listings/l0001.html

Thanks for your post. I'm going to have Support take a look at this point.

I'm going to post the reply I got from tech support for this as this will close out this issue. After following his instructions everything worked:

*******************
Hi Steve,

Thanks for the email!

I've had a look at this and the problem here looks like it's related to the /listman/templates/_realty/_featured_results.html file. In this file I noticed that most of the links look like this:

../template_files/$listing_url$/$listing_file$

The placeholders (items surrounded by $$) are what Listings Manager uses by default and sometimes certain HTML editing programs will not recognize this as a proper URL and will try to automatically add a path for you.

I'd just suggest going through this template and anywhere you see the above you can just remove the "../template_files/" so just the placeholders are remaining.
