How to set up your REAXML listing provider on your website to FeedSync with better security and safety

Once you have a portal provider in place and you’ve uploaded your listings and photographs into it you’re ready to configure the FeedSync for your website.

Step 1: Decide where the final hosting server will be

Its much easier to to this once on the final server then to change things later. You have enough to do when launching a new website that you don’t want to add another step in the way and have to wait for your provider to adjust their settings on your tight schedule.

For example: You are developing a new WordPress web site on your local development server which will eventually replace an existing one but the client plans on keeping their current hosting.

Perform the following steps on the intended live server.

FeedSync REAXML Processor updated to Version 1.1.3

We’ve just updated FeedSync to version 1.1.3 which now supports REAXML files that are delivered in zip files which also contain property images. This is a major version release that adds support for zip format REAXML files as supplied by some providers like Rockend Rest and Console.

What it now does to support the zip REAXML format is:

  • Unzips the zip file(s) and moves the images into the processed/images folder.
  • While processing the REAXML xml files it rewrites the image location with a valid URL so they hey can be imported.
  • Moves the processed zip filed into processed/zips.
  • Lists zip files waiting to be processed.
  • Transfers content from current and appends new status when input file only contains status update.

How to Import REAXML files into Your WordPress Real Estate Website

Updated Instructions

In this tutorial we are going to walk through the steps of importing REAXML files into your WordPress real estate website.

Basically we are going to create two import jobs for each REAXML property element, one for current and one for sold/leased. FeedSync merges the REAXML files and creates three output files: current, sold/leased, withdrawn/offmarket. We only need to import the current and sold/leased as because this is more efficient by reducing import file sizes, leaves the withdrawn/offmarket out of the database.

To do this you are going to need a few tools.

What You Need

  • FeedSync: This processes multiple REAXML files into merged files.
  • WP All Import Pro: You can import CSV and XML files into WordPress quickly and easily it’s the best import plugin for WordPress.
  • WP All Import Scripts: Scripts you can use to configure WP All Import Pro.
  • Easy Property Listings: The best real estate plugin for WordPress.

Real Estate REAXML Parser Script that takes a minute to install and you can use it on any website that needs single import files like WordPress

My requirements when developing this REAXML parser script was to make sure it was fast, efficient and not repeat imports if NO changes are detected and be able to use WP-Property to import the files and manage the property and rental listings.

So after countless hours searching for a REA XML parser to no avail I set out to find a developer to build my REA XML parser.

The script had to do the following:

  • Combine the individual REAXML files into a single, or multiple import files.
  • Process the results and store them in 3 new separate REAXML files: Current, SOLD/LEASED, and withdrawn to increase speed.
  • When the property status changes to sold/leased/withdrawn delete the property entry from the current REAXML output file.
  • Just added: Geocode the property address during import and add another field so my new property plugin did not have to also geocode the entry on import.
