Is it possible to integrate PayPal services (Shopping Cart) with RealtyManager or ArticleManager ???
If yes, how do you pass variables to PayPal ?
I'll appreciate any help or suggestion.

Yes, with either Article Manager and Realty Manager you can create a link that contains some of the article or listing data. For example with Realty Manager, if you enabled listing field 1 you might pass it to paypal like this:
<a href="http://www.paypal.com/buy.cgiprice=$lfield1$">buy now</a>
Additionally, for fields that might contains characters that would break a link (such as ", etc) you can add _ue on to the placeholder to get at the "URL Encoded" value. Like this:
<a href="http://www.paypal.com/buy.cgi?price=$lfield1_ue$">buy now</a>
You can pass almost any value from Realty Manager this way, making it easy to integrate Realty Manager with other programs and pass data to them.

That works for getting Realty Manager to pass out variables but is it possible to pass variables to Realty Manager?
What I need is a simple way to renew listings via a link. Is this possible?

Hi,
To renew listings via a link, you could add a link to the the Realty Manager log in screen. Users could then enter their username and password.
To automatically log in to Realty Manager via a link, a similar link as my example here:
http://www.yoursite.com/rm/exec/rm.cgi?id=userID&pw=password&login=1
The "userID" is would be your username and the "password" is your password for Realty Manager. Keep in mind this reveals your password to anyone this link would be available to.
Hope that helps.

That will allow them to log in but could you give me an example of a link on how to renew the listing? Also, is it possible to do this in the form of a POST?

Hi,
For Article Manager you could add a link to the /article/default.html template to edit a listing like this:
<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/artman/exec/admin.cgi?art_edit=$art_num$">Click here to edit article</a>
This link will take you to the login page. After you enter your username and password, you will b directed to the specific article edit page. Article Manager has a special feature that remembers the article number that you are trying to edit before and after you login.
Realty Manager works a little differently. Instead of linking directly to the listings edit page, you can link to the agents listing page. Here is an example of the link you could add to the /templates/_publish_listing.html template:
<a href="http://yoursite.com/cgi-bin/rm/exec/rm.cgi?listing_edit=$user_num$">Click here to edit listing</a>
Also, this link won't be remembered by Realty Manager so you need to already logged in to the program when the link is clicked.
I hope that helps.
