Release Notes – 2021.04.01

Highlights

• MLS Consolidation
  Last cycle I told you that we had merged a bunch of MLSs where they had 2 different feeds, one for solds and one for actives. Well I lied. Not on purpose, but you know. Mea culpa. So that process IS happening for all of those MLSs, and the code IS ready for that to happen, but the actual merging is not complete yet (cause archons and IDX feed merges take a while). Here's the latest status:
  • FL-BCAOR | Done
  • OH-TOLEDO | Done
  • TX-BRYAN
  • NC-TRIANGLES
  • IL-MYMLS
  • MI-JMLS
  • NJ-NJMLS
  • OK-CMAOR
• Special Featured Locations
  You can now set up featured location pages for other "special" location types like School Districts, Lakes, etc. 
  • Close Notes: You will be able to select these at the point of sale just like you do for any other locations. Remember that "special" locations like School Districts are meant to be the exception, not the rule. If the CUSTOMER asks for these, we have an answer. Please do not actively promote these features or include them on every one of your sales.
  • Control Panel: Saved Search by Location: This tool works like normal, allowing you to create saved search pages for special locations easily just like you would for a normal location
  • Search by Area pages: Search by School District pages (if they exist at all) going forward should be built using "Featured Location List" pages, NOT custom content pages.
  • Market Reports: Are NOT available for any of these special locations.

Updates

• Search by... pages
  You can now use Featured Location List pages to present School District or other custom type featured locations.
• NEW CP Tool: ss by school district, custom
  The Control Panel: Saved Search by Location tool now allows you to 1. choose a school district or other custom field AS your featured location, and 2. combine that with search variations to create saved search pages like you would normally.
• OR-RMLS water rights keyword
  Added "water rights" keyword search term to OR-RMLS on react templates.
• OK-CMAOR pond keyword
  Added "pond" keyword search term to OK-CMAOR on react templates.

  Keyword search lookup tables for OH-CINN were rebuilt after a data provider change deprecated previous mappings.
• LA-NELBOR pool keyword

• Unable to link mailchimp
  Removed customer's Mailchimp link from their old account.
• update og:description for listing details pages
  For listing details pages, both the meta description tag and the og:description tag have been updated to start with the mls# (when there is one). This will ensure that when sharing the page to social media, the mls# will be included.
• School Districts, Custom Fields as Featured Locations
  When editing the location for a featured location page, you can now choose either a school district or a custom field as a "special location" in place of the normal location. NOTE: market reports are not available for special locations.

  This is finished, and restyled to look more consistent. Only the Direct Signup path was changed - the Testdrive/Activation, AddMLS, and Upgrade Package paths were (should be) unaffected.

• listing contact form no longer showing listing info
