WordPress Real Estate Plugin Update 2
Posted on May 12, 2007
Filed Under Products |
It looks like the plugin will be released this months end unless other things pop up but the programmer noted that in order to meet my requirement of a FULLY NORMALIZED database structure some manual edits will be required by end users upon initial release. When I set the requirement for database normalization I had in mind the likely potential that some Realtor would want to import either RETS or IDX listings into his WordPress blog and given that some MLS’s can be very large, duplicate database content could explode to such a degree that the entire blog could suffer performance issues. So for example, if an agent represents say 5 or so areas or even cities in the agents area it would be prudent to only have those 5 areas entered one time. The same is true of many common elements like number of beds or say state for example. The old method and the most common method is to have “state” entered with each and every listing which is find if you only have a few hundred properties but when you move into the big boys realm and end up with several thousand listings it becomes a waste of space to put in CA (california) 2,000 times when its really only needed once.
Well because of this absolute non flexible requirement I put on this plugin coding is taking a bit longer than we expected. But hey, its worth it in the long run to get the code as clean and accurate as possible as we start bug hunting.
