Addressfield Tips
Some RETS feeds separate the street address into many parts, however there is no way to really map them to the street portion of Addressfield, the following code snippet is a handy work around to this problem.
This uses the hook_drealty_import_presave_alter hook, it has two arguments:
- $item: this is the entity that is about to be saved any changes to this entity will be persisted to the underlying storage mechanism.
-
$item_context: this is an array of contextual data from the import process and has the following keys.
- field_mappings - an array of the current field mappings which is an array of the RETS systemnames keyed by field names
- connection - the current drealty connection object [DrealtyConnection]
- resource - the current drealty resource object [DrealtyRetsResource]
- key_field - the key field for the current class
- rets_item - the current RETS data that is being processed, data is keyed by the RETS SystemName
<?php
function mymodule_drealty_import_presave_alter(&$item, $item_context) {
// limit the function to only operate on listings (this could be improved, i'm using the bundle 'residential' to limit/filter on)
if($item->type == 'residential') {
// in this case my addressfield field is named field_address
// the RETS feed provides the street address in two parts StreetNumber and StreetName
$item->field_address[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['thoroughfare'] = $item_context['rets_item']['StreetNumber'] . ' ' . $item_context['rets_item']['StreetName'];
}
}
?>

there's a typo in the code
there's a typo in the code above.
$item->field_address[LANGUAGE_NONE[0]['thoroughfare'] = $item_context['rets_item']['StreetNumber'] . ' ' . $item_context['rets_item']['StreetName'];
should be
$item->field_address[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['thoroughfare'] = $item_context['rets_item']['StreetNumber'] . ' ' . $item_context['rets_item']['StreetName'];
there's a closing bracket necessary after [LANGUAGE_NONE
Great bit of code, thanks for sharing!

Let's say you wish to alter other fields
Let's say you wish to alter a field's data other than the addressfield. For example in MLS RETS implementation I deal with the school types are given as simple one letter. For examply E stands for Elementary.
so for a field named field_school_type_1 you could alter it with code such as this
switch ($item->field_school_type_1[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['value']){case 'E':
case 'e': $item->field_school_type_1[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['value'] = 'Elementary School';
break;
case 'M':
case 'm': $item->field_school_type_1[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['value'] = 'Middle School';
break;
case 'I':
case 'i': $item->field_school_type_1[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['value'] = 'Intermediate School';
break;
case 'J':
case 'j': $item->field_school_type_1[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['value'] = 'Junior High School';
break;
case 'H':
case 'h': $item->field_school_type_1[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['value'] = 'High School';
break;
case 'P':
case 'p': $item->field_school_type_1[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['value'] = 'Primary School';
break;
case 'S':
case 's': $item->field_school_type_1[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['value'] = 'Senior High School';
break;
}
