Add a few shortcodes and away you go.\nFor advanced users you can style your results by overriding our templates and stylesheets or if you're not so sure about this <a href=\"http:\/\/http:\/\/www.ultimateweb.co.uk\/contactus\/\">contact us<\/a> for our customisation services.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Shortcodes<\/h4>\n\n<p>We built the plugin using fleixible shortcodes for easy installation and customisation.  The shortcodes are;<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>[vebra_quicksearch] : to display a concise search box <\/li>\n<li>[vebra_search] : to show full search options<\/li>\n<li>[vebra_properties] : To display a list of properties or search results<\/li>\n<li>[vebra_details] : To display full property details including map and carousel of property images <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Templates \/ Customisation<\/h4>\n\n<p>We have provided templates corresponding to each of the shortcodes so you can create your own layouts and content.  Simply include your own version of the templates in your theme and these will override the standard set provided;<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>vp_quicksearch.php : Change the layout of the quicksearch bar<\/li>\n<li>vp_search : modify the search layout<\/li>\n<li>vp_list.php : dictate how property summary details are shown<\/li>\n<li>vp_detail.php : style the detailed property view<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<p>We have tried to make the installation and setup of the plugin as simple as possible whilst building in fleixibility for the more advanced user to be able to fully customise the style and content.<\/p>\n\n<p>You can download and install Vebra Properties using the built in WordPress plugin installer. If you download Vebra Properties manually, make sure it is uploaded to \"\/wp-content\/plugins\/vebra_properties\/\".<\/p>\n\n<p>Activate Vebra Properties in the \"Plugins\" admin panel using the \"Activate\" link.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Basic setup<\/h4>\n\n<p>Follow the simple steps below to get up and running in minutes;<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Create a new page on your site for the search results and add the [vebra_properties] shortcode to this page.<\/li>\n<li>Create a new page on your site for the property details and add the [vebra_details] shortcode.<\/li>\n<li>Enter your API details into the Verbra Properties \"Settings\" menu.<\/li>\n<li>Also on the Verbra Properties \"Settings\" menu set the default property search results page that you created in step 1 and 2.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>Once you click save on the settings page Vebra Properties will trigger a schedule to populate wordpress with the properties in your feed.  It will also schedule a daily update of properties.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Scheduling<\/h4>\n\n<p>As mentioned once set up wordpress will re-populate the property list daily.  This should happen automatically using WordPress's built in schedule service.  However, this can be un-reliable especially if your site uses lots of third party plugins so we recommend that you trigger the schedule using a server cron job.  Please see the FAQ for further details.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Short codes<\/h4>\n\n<p>This plugin has fleixble short codes to help with filtering and formatting of the content.  To add options simple include them in the shortcode as a name value pair e.g.  [vebra_list branchid=\"1\" type=\"For Sale\"].  See below for the full set of options available for each short code.  Only add attributes to the shortcode if you want to pre-filter results.  Any manually entered search criteria will override the attributes set in the shortcode.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>[vebra_quicksearch]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>branchid<\/li>\n<li>area (For Sale, To Let, Commercial)<\/li>\n<li>location (a string containing the location i.e. Leicester, UK)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>[vebra_search]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>branchid<\/li>\n<li>area (\"For Sale\", \"To Let\", \"Commercial\")<\/li>\n<li>featured (\"yes\" or \"no\")<\/li>\n<li>bedrooms (minimum number of bedrooms - default \"0\")<\/li>\n<li>minprice (number value)<\/li>\n<li>maxprice (number value)<\/li>\n<li>type (text description of type i.e. \"Detached\")<\/li>\n<li>location (a string containing the location i.e. \"Leicester, UK\")<\/li>\n<li>radius (number of miles radius to search)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>[vebra_list]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>branchid<\/li>\n<li>area (\"For Sale\", \"To Let\", \"Commercial\")<\/li>\n<li>featured (\"yes\" or \"no\")<\/li>\n<li>bedrooms (minimum number of bedrooms - default \"0\")<\/li>\n<li>minprice (number value)<\/li>\n<li>maxprice (number value)<\/li>\n<li>type (text description of type i.e. \"Detached\")<\/li>\n<li>location (a string containing the location i.e. \"Leicester, UK\")<\/li>\n<li>radius (number of miles radius to search)<\/li>\n<li>pagesize (number of properties per page, default \"6\")<\/li>\n<li>page (current page, default \"1\")<\/li>\n<li>orderby (ordering, default \"price desc\")<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>[vebra_details]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>vebraid (the VebraID for the property)<\/li>\n<li>agentref (the agents reference for the property)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt>Can I edit the layout of the search and results?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>There are 4 templates, one for each of the shortcodes.  Simply create your own version of these templates in your themes directory to override the layout.  You can also create your own styles to override the default ones we have set.  The templates files are;\n* vp_quicksearch.php : Change the layout of the quicksearch bar\n* vp_search : modify the search layout\n* vp_list.php : dictate how property summary details are shown\n* vp_detail.php : style the detailed property view<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>Can you help customise the plugin<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Of course, yes.  We are a web development agency that specialises in WordPress integrations and customisation.  Just <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ultimateweb.co.uk\/contactus\/\">contact us<\/a> with your requirements.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>My properties are not appearing<\/dt>\n<dd><p>First of all check that the API details you entered are correct.  If any of these are not correct then the schedule to grab properties will fail.  There may also be a problem with the WordPress scheduler as this can fail particularly if you have other 3rd party plugins installed.  We therefore recommend that you set up a system cron job to run the WordPress schedule manually as we found this to be much more reliable.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>How do I set up scheduling as a cron job?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>You can set up your server?s cron to hit wp-cron.php at a regular interval by following the instructions outlined in <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.tutsplus.com\/articles\/insights-into-wp-cron-an-introduction-to-scheduling-tasks-in-wordpress\/\">Harish Chouhan?s article on Wptuts+<\/a>. If this seems overly complicated, you could use a tool such as Pingdom to trigger an HTTP request directly to wp-cron.php.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<ul>\n<li>First version released 01st October 2014<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Quickly turn your Vebra API feed (for the Solex and Alto) into a property search on your own wordpress site.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/32229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32229"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/ultimatewebuk"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=32229"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=32229"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=32229"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=32229"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=32229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
