In reply to: [Vebra Properties] Sharing on Facebook issueWe have just released a new plugin (see the notice in the details now) that includes moving over to CPT for property details and sorts the sharing issues that plagued this plugin. Unfortunately we have had to make the decision to go commercial as people just don’t donate and it is too much work for us to keep up with support and API changes and still feed our families. see http://www.wppropertyfeed.co.uk

In reply to: [Vebra Properties] Barebones Install – Plugin Not Working?We often hear of connection issues with the vebra API and in the majority of cases this comes down to one of three issues (and where they don’t we have always done our best to resolve these issues).
1) Incorrect entry of API details
2) Having two sites running simulteneously that use the same API details which Vebra block
3) Hosting issues – many low cost hosting providers now simply disable wordpress cron and ajax or have very limited resources and scripting limits causing the feed to stop halfway through. You really do get what you pay for!So we have just released a new plugin though (see the notice in the details now) that includes a major rewrite, so tricks to get around the vebra API block on simulteneous sites and better styling. Unfortunately we have had to make the decision to go commercial as people just don’t donate and it is too much work for us to keep up with support (as we clearly don’t!) and API changes and still feed our families. see http://www.wppropertyfeed.co.uk

In reply to: [Vebra Properties] Vebra API v10The updates are not going to have an impact on the vast number of Vebra users. We have just released a new plugin though (see the notice in the details now) that includes all the version 10 updates and alot of other improvements, but I am sure this one will be relevent for some years to come.

In reply to: [Vebra Properties] Barebones Install – Plugin Not Working?Hi – I am one of the developers and I would request that if you have furstrating issues please email – we have contact links all over the plugin details and you will get a much quicker response. There has been a recent update courtesy of Matthew Brooks which solved the API connection issue he was having and may sort the issue for you.
We have learnt alot over the last year and are aware of a number of issues over and above this one and a major re-write is underway. It is highly likely though that we will have to move this into the commercial domain as we simply don’t have the time to do it justice as you have pointed out.

In reply to: [Vebra Properties] Plugin not connectingThe problem is not one of compatibility as it will work in the latest version of wordpress. The plugin uses WordPress Cron to retrieve the properties from the Vebra API as this is quite a slow process so best to run in background. However some hosting providers effectively block that way that WP Cron works out of the box. This is not a new issue and is well documented on;
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/scheduled-posts-still-not-working-in-282
Simple answer is to put
define(‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true);
in your wp_config.php file for your site

In reply to: [Vebra Properties] Latest Propertiesmy mistake that should be orderby=”uploaded desc”
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Vebra Properties] Latest Properties[vebra_properties orderby=”updated desc” pagesize=”5″] should do it. If you create a view type in your vp_list.php then you can specify the view name too.

In reply to: [Vebra Properties] Import to a custom post typeThe philosphy of the plugin is that it should be zero maintenance. All the data is updated and maintained in the verba software whereas having a customer post type implies further updating and admin within wordpress and most estate agents are very unlikely to do this maintenance.

In reply to: [Vebra Properties] Display Other Property OptionWe have just added a function to the codex that you can use in your theme to get these separately – in fact for images the options was already there in the form of
vp_propertyimages($vebraid, $filetype = -1)
This returns a list of images for the property $vebraid and if a filetype is specified it will filter to that specific file type. The new function
vp_propertyfiles($vebraid, $filetype = -1)
does the same but for non-image files/urls. The filetypes are;
0 = Image
1 = Map
2 = Floorplan
3 = 360 tour
4 = Ehouse
5 = Ipix
7 = PDF Details
8 = External URL
9 = EPC
10 = HIP
11 = Virtual TourForum: Plugins
