MLS Module

The MLS Module allows for Drupal sites to incorporate real estate listings provided by MLS services as CCK content. It opens the door for access to RETS and IDX based MLS feeds. Currently, you must also have VieleRETS installed in order to tap into RETS-compliant listings. For IDX based feeds, this module includes a simple API for turning csv-based feeds and their images into nodes.

For RETS MLS feeds, first install the module, and then you will need to create a Source, Target and Extract from VieleRETS (in the future, this should all be integrated with this module). You will need to map the MLS fields to the content_type_mls_listing table. After you create your extract in Viele, run the job so it downloads only 1 listing. This will be enough to create the batch control file, which this module currently needs before working properly. Then, you will need to manually go into the batch control file itself and change the number of results to return (0 means all). Once you have a batch control file properly configured, make sure you have adjusted the settings in admin/settings/mls. Then, create an MLS feed (it's a content type) and then once you've created your MLS feed, go to admin/mls/feeds and you will see a list of MLS feeds available to you. Clicking 'execute' will cause the BCF to run, and will create images and listings as nodes.

As you can tell, this is still pretty rough. We could use lots of help with testing as well as coding to get this working really well, and to incorporate all aspects required to use RETS feeds (rather than going through vieleRETS)

This is currently in alpha for Drupal 5.x
