Chad Wozniak, an Abbotsford REALTOR® from Greater Vancouver area, has recently launched a new website www.callwoz.com. The website is built on WordPress platform by SplitMango, a Vancouver design studio whose work we have featured in the past. The website integrates myRealPage embeddable listings, which made it easy for Chad to include his listings, his office listings, full MLS® search, as well as a number of predefined searches (niche listing pages). The listings have also been customized via CSS to match the look and feel of the website better.

Take a moment and visit Chads’s website.

Since the release of our Embeddable Listings product in 2009, it has been used by many REALTORS® in their 3rd party websites, such as WordPress, custom, or even websites from other vendors. Combined with the portable Listing Showcases, the powerful VOW, predefined searches and a mobile search, this product offers a compelling value.

Today, we would like feature an example of an effective use of our embeddable listings and showcases: a WordPress-based website run by Jacob Krause and Jacky Levi: EastVanHouses.com

Here is a little information on their website and business in their own words:

myRealPage WordPress plugin utilizes the power of WordPress “shortcodes”: special placeholders which are dynamically turned into useful content by the WordPress rendering engine. Our plugin comes bundled with a very flexible and powerful Listing Shortcode Wizard which will help you create all sorts of listing configurations, including functional and visual options, such as custom width for the listing content, basic color theme, custom sort order, and much more. The Listing Shortcode Wizard also includes a Preview button to make sure you got your configuration right.

Use the Shortcode Wizard to include such listing content as:

• Your and your office listings, including your listings optionally split by status and custom defined categories, as well as combined with other hand-picked listings
• Any predefined search, on its own or combined with hand picked listings
• A number of hand-picked listings which you can look up in Shortcode Wizard by MLS® numbers
• An individual listing, including specifically details, photo, video or map view (great for building single property websites)
• A standard or custom configured search form

We have also bundled out-of-the-box support for twentyten theme which comes as the default theme in new WordPress versions, as well as Thesis 1.8 theme which appears to be one of the more popular ones out there. If you are CSS-savvy or work with a designer or developer, you can also adapt this plugin to work with other themes: read more on our technical blog.

We have also published a full HOW-TO on the installation and use of the plugin on our Tech Blog.

Here are some screenshots of the myRealPage WordPress plugin in action on our demo website with Thesis 1.8 theme:

SplitMango has just published a WordPress plugin to feature listings from myRealPage websites available for general use and download from the Official WordPress Plugins site. We have tested the plugin right after learning about its availability and it worked great and displayed a random listing from “My Listings” page on our test WordPress blog’s sidebar.

So, if you have a website with listings from myRealPage and also have a WordPress blog, you can take advantage of this great plugin to feature your listings.

You have been able for a while now to also use myRealPage Listing Showcases to feature your listings on 3rd party websites, including WordPress. The important difference between this plugin and our Showcases, is that the plugin displays the listings “inline” in the HTML code, which makes it indexable by searchbots.

Kudos to SplitMango for the great work! We look forward to “version 2” of the plugin with more options and will be glad to share ideas and lend a hand.
