<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>

WP Realty

<p>Jared Ritchey Design Presents, WP Featured for WordPress Real Estate Blogging at its best. Developed originally for our client use only, we have released this tool as a contribution to the WordPress community in support of the Worlds best Real Estate website platform, WordPress. This plugin provides blog website owners with a truly easy to manage easy to integrate way for featuring property listings in their posts and pages.  Ideal for the Real Estate, Automotive, Furniture, or any gallery type product related site, this plugin makes featuring products a breeze.</p>
<p>Tested with version 2.7.1 and WordPress MU, the plugin can support hundreds of featured listings and can be displayed or presented based entirely on user defined criteria providing the criteria is searchable. Even though this plugin was most beneficial in the hands of developers and web designers we have added the first version of a templated system to allow a relatively novice user the ability to customize the look and feel of the charted layouts. This does not mean that we have stopped supporting developers.  This plug-in does require OpenRealty 2.5.6 or above.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>For Theme Developers, please visit jaredritchey.com for details on how to distribute this plugin with your WordPress themes FREELY and Without Additional License Requirements. We can provide you easy to include PHP code to make your distribution of the plugin exceptionally easy.</p>

<li>First field should be your ID number like MLS Number for instance, then add things like city or maybe state, one field is required.</li>
<li>Determine the layout you want, most of the time people can style these as a side by side or simply a stacked listings.</li>
<li>Where are you planning to use the featured listing? A page or a post.</li>
<li>Its BEST TO put the WordPress READMORE tag above the listings tag because it can make your site real long if following a standard blog format.</li>

</ol>
<h3>What Kind Styling Can I Really Do</h3>
<ul>
<li>The fact is this, we built this for our clients originally and design was first on our mind. Every element is rendered based on the template you create, in our demo we use div tags for wrapping them so styling has a great many potential avenues.</li>
<li>Styling can be customized to be animated but I have not yet included that code.</li>
</ul>
