</code></pre>
<p>In addition to extending the the listing details post via custom styles in your theme, you can also extend functionality via JavaScript.</p>
<h4>listingLoaded Function</h4>
<p>Each listing detail post will attempt to inject listing detail information and a list of images for the listing into a global function if your theme enables it.</p>
<p>To take advantage of this create a public function with the following syntax, that will be called when a listing detail post is displayed.</p>
<pre><code>/**
* Function that is called by GetRETS when a listing
* detail post is loaded.
* 
* listing - JSON object representing the details
*           of the listing
* images  - an array of image urls associated
*           with this listing
*/
function listingLoaded(listing, images) 
{ 
    alert(listing.description);
}
</code></pre>
<h4>Element Attributes</h4>
<p>Each element that is rendered is also rendered with an intuitive id to make it easy to allow for DOM manipulation.</p>
<p>For further information examine the markup at;</p>
<pre><code>wp-content/plugins/getrets/views/frontend/content.php

<h4>What we do</h4>
<p>Rets Rabbit is a cloud service you can use to build real estate listings to brokerage, agent, or client websites and mobile apps.</p>
<p>Rets Rabbit takes the frustration and hassle of importing thousands of real estate listings and photos and gives you an easy to use service so you can focus on building your IDX-powered website or app. Developers using Rets Rabbit have saved 100s of hours of time building their own real estate import systems.</p>
<h4>Who Is Rets Rabbit For?</h4>
<h4>Designers & Developers:</h4>
<p>With the fragmented and confusing state of real estate technology, all too often creative professionals (designers & developers) have to compromise their creative and technical vision because the board has chosen an MLS vendor with woefully outdated and inflexible tools.</p>
<p>Often this leads you to build projects that lack <strong>SEO</strong>, lack <strong>responsive or mobile friendly design</strong>, lack UI/UX features that can make the <strong>home searching experience easier</strong>. At the end of the project instead of proud of your work, you’re left with a nagging feeling that you could have done more for your client.</p>
<p>With Rets Rabbit you can build websites and mobile apps that <strong>don’t sacrifice your creative or technical vision</strong>. We use a technology called RETS to connect to local real estate MLS’s and import listings and photos to our servers. We then give you an array of easy to use tools depending on your type of development to incorporate the listings into your website or mobile app and give you the power to build solutions your real estate clients will love!</p>
<h4>Brokers & Agents:</h4>
<p>Nearly <strong>40% of buyers are searching for homes on mobile devices. Google has seen a **256% growth in real estate searches</strong> in the past four years. Yet all too often MLS searches on agent and brokerage websites are either:</p>
<ul>
<li>not optimized for mobile devices</li>
<li>sending users out to another site where Google and other search engines don’t track</li>
<li>showing search results in an “iframe” widget, which is not optimized for both mobile or search engine traffic</li>
<li>So how many leads are you missing because your MLS search isn’t optimized for mobile or search engine traffic?</li>
</ul>
<p>You don’t have to sacrifice the latest trends in buyer behavior because your third-party MLS vendor’s search can’t keep up the latest technology.</p>
<p>With Rets Rabbit your buyers will get <strong>accurate listings from your MLS</strong> that will allow you to keep up with the national real estate sites.</p>
