MLS Consolidation Last cycle I told you that we had merged a bunch of MLSs where they had 2 different feeds, one for solds and one for actives. Well I lied. Not on purpose, but you know. Mea culpa. So that process IS happening for all of those MLSs, and the code IS ready for that to happen, but the actual merging is not complete yet (cause archons and IDX feed merges take a while). Here's the latest status:
FL-BCAOR | Done
OH-TOLEDO | Done
TX-BRYAN
NC-TRIANGLES
IL-MYMLS
MI-JMLS
NJ-NJMLS
OK-CMAOR
Special Featured Locations You can now set up featured location pages for other "special" location types like School Districts, Lakes, etc.
Close Notes: You will be able to select these at the point of sale just like you do for any other locations. Remember that "special" locations like School Districts are meant to be the exception, not the rule. If the CUSTOMER asks for these, we have an answer. Please do not actively promote these features or include them on every one of your sales.
Control Panel: Saved Search by Location: This tool works like normal, allowing you to create saved search pages for special locations easily just like you would for a normal location
Search by Area pages: Search by School District pages (if they exist at all) going forward should be built using "Featured Location List" pages, NOT custom content pages.
Market Reports: Are NOT available for any of these special locations.
Updates
