mls

Soon after I joined the company I currently work for, Precision Intermedia, I was placed to work on a site for a real estate company which was to provide searching of listings through RETS. However, the previous developers were having a bear of a time deciphering the RETS standard; even when we could wrap our head around the documentation, the MLS company seemed to either differ from it in their implementation, or otherwise make things unnecessarily complicated.

Hi everyone,

After a long hiatus from working on the MLS module (http://groups.drupal.org/node/12419), I'm back at it and working on some massive updates/improvements to the module. If any of you have tried to use it, you probably know that it's super confusing, very difficult to use and incredibly fragile. To address these issues I'm overhauling how the module interfaces between VieleRETS and Drupal.

I'm in the process of releasing a new real estate listing module and currently looking for some testers.
The module is called uListing (for drupal 6.x) ... a newer better version of rListing (for drupal 5.x). rListing is free but only for drupal 5.x and uListing is not free. There's no plan for updating rListing to drupal 6 (at least not by me but anyone is welcome to try). However a conversion module for rListing to uListing is on the todo list. uListing is a complete code re-write (ie. taxonomy integration).

Hi Everyone,

I published a RETS/IDX MLS feed module to Drupal last night, you can get it here: http://drupal.org/project/mls

Be forewarned - this is in ALPHA, meaning I wouldn't recommend it for production systems. I have been testing it for my own purposes, and am still not 100% convinced to make it live for my client - but it's very close. The module is admittedly clunky, but I needed to hack something together fairly quickly and this is what I've come up with ;)

Here's what it does:
