Could Use Help WIth Diverse Solution IDX, I have Agent Press Genesis

[adamdr]

HI,

I hired a programmer to set up my AGENT PRESS GENESIS theme. I am using diverse solitions IDX. The $29 option.
I don't think my programmer has enough experience as he couldn't get the IDX to pull actual listings from the MLS.

For instance, I am have manually enter ranges for prices for this building. But i am hoping there is a way to pull real idx feed.
I.e. : http://adamdocktor.com/listings/1045-e-atlantic-ave/ <--- you can see i actually just put in ranges, but my friend who uses Diverse Solutions actually has his buildings pull accurate IDX: http://findafortlauderdalehome.com/property/the-waverly/

More over, he has a rental and listing (sales) option.

I"m a sales guy not a computer guy, But with some direction I could do it.

Ulitmate goal is to have any building i list pull real IDX feed and would be great to have the rental and sales option.

Can anyone kindly help me?

my site is adamdocktor.com

BTW, is there a way to make this a spiderable IDX with a programmer?

Adam,

You have a good site!. I love your tag line!! Something must be amiss with your widget settings. I can't say for sure what that might be because I have never had anything but the poorest support on the planet from Zillow and their enterprises.

Hi
Agent press works with idx express out of the box from what I understand
So if you have a diverse solutions account than you just add the plug in and not worry about code.
I have set up themes with IDX broker before but IDX express is super simple just add the plugin.
the IDX is usually a set of php tags that open and close inside a area of content.
IDX broker also has other ways to add the feed to any theme..
like this but it requires a set up at IDX broker in the Global wrapper
<div id="idxStart" style="display: none;"></div>
<div id="idxStop" style="display: none;"></div>
or this a nice little action hook

/**
* Add IDX Broker Start and Stop tags for wrapping
*/

add_action('genesis_before_loop', 'idxbroker_start');
function idxbroker_start() {
echo idx_start();
}
add_action('genesis_after_loop', 'idxbroker_stop');
function idxbroker_stop() {
echo idx_stop();
}

again this is not super hard but what you want is someone who can place the proper code in the proper spot.. and than fine tune in IDX broker..
If you have another IDX the same basic principal applies..
You have to read documentation on how to use the plugin they have or not and how to place the code
or have someone who can at least show you they can do it than have them set it up or walk you thru
it. Yes you can create a spider that is sort of complicated but to tell the truth I find that say with IDX broker documentation is good and its just a matter of wading thru it and trail and error..
You know I remember way back in the early days of Revolution Brian Gardner said a lot of what launched Revolution was trill and error.. somewhere I read that any way.. So get some Starbucks and try it all out..
