XML Feed Templates Download

XML Templates for 15 different feeds including Zillow, Google, City Cribs, Vast and more.  These were built to help organize the structure of XML output for an OpenRealty addon I created. Since then we have added these into the core build of WPRealty where XML feed export is a core feature.  I figured that since I’ve encountered so many frustrated posts in forums and blog around the web while searching for good map examples, I’d package these up to help someone facing similar challenges with their projects.  Released as GNU/GPL naturally you are free to use them as you so desire.  Here are some basic details about the files included.

If you are building an XML feed export script for Real Estate listings then maybe these 15 XML and PHP Files will help.  What I include in the zip file is this; I created several XML masters I collected, organized and then keyed from various data feed services some of which are not edited at all, just some source formatting applied.  Then the PHP files were going to be used to essentially provide the XML output structure which would be coded to actually generate the XML file with the listings data.  I was about to create a generic generator as an example you  could build from but pressed for time I needed to put that off for a while.  I managed to knock out a single example for use with OpenRealty which is called citycribs-example. The code isn’t very tidy as it was used for testing the export speed against an OpenRealty database.

A quick note too about those XML files.  I will periodically update as the feed XML structure changes since I will be maintaining that feature within WPRealty.  Even though the feature does provide actual HTML files for the feed map quite similar to my WP Featured Listings plugin, the XML files must be updated for CRON update features to work properly so I’ll update this zip file when needed.  Here is the download link for the files.  http://www.jaredritchey.com/available-downloads/snippets/xml-feed-templates.zip
