uListing 1.x

uListing allows to you to setup RSS feeds. There are three default feeds already created for you.

1. http://www.yourdomain.com/ulisting/rss/city/[city_name]
where city_name is the name of the city. This path will feed out all listing for a given city.

2. http://www.yourdomain.com/ulisting/rss/featured
This feed will list all featured listings.

3. http://www.yourdomain.com/ulisting/rss/user/[user_id]
Where user_id is the id of the user (or agent). This will feed out all listing belonging to the given id.

4. http://www.yourdomain.com/ulisting/rss.xml
Show all published listings.

This section describes how to add your own customized fields.

Goto : "Administer"->"Site configuration"->"uListing Management"
The click on the "Custom Fields" tab.

This section is very similar to the "profile" module for adding new fields to user accounts.

1. click on the field type you'd like to add (i.e. sing-line, multi-line ...)
2. Fill in the next page. Make sure the "Form Name:" does not have a space. This name will not be seen by the users.
"Auto-complete" means that the form will try and autocomplete the text for the user as the user is typing.

This explains the methods required to custimze the look and functionality of the uListing.

You should do the configuration before entering any listings.

2. Setup your google map keys
   
3. Give the proper permissions (remember to also give upload image and view image files.
   
4. enable the blocks you'd like to usee (feature, search ...)
   
5. you may want to move the uListin menu around.

The next section explains some of the key configuration settings.
Goto: Administer->Site Configuration->uListing Management

This section will show you how to format the display of the agent.

The preprocssor function is located at: ulisting/ulisting.theme.inc
The function is called template_preprocess_ulisting_agent and prepares all the variables that will be available in the tpl file. It will convert all attributes of the user object into variable names. This includes profile fields if the profile module is activated.

The template file is ulisting/tpl/ulisting-agent.tpl.php
In this file is the HTML+CSS for displaying the agent information.
Example vars: $name , $uid, $picture ...
