I have a real estate website that I need to make one change to and I would really appreciate some help making this happen.
So, what I'm thinking adding an additional "lister" rather than a new user is the answer because I need to keep the properties listed as just the two users (agents) for the navigation. For example, on this page:
http://www.dunhamrealestateservices.com/listings.php?property_type=Commercial+and+Business&state=Montana
instead of having the 1st two properties with different photos (notice by the address - they are the same property) and having a single agent name at the bottom:
Call Agent: Lyle Dunham at 406-425-0180
I would just like the property to be listed just once, and then at the bottom of the listing page and also on the listing detail page to be something like this:
Call Agent: Lyle Dunham at 406-425-0180
Call Agent: Cindy Dunham at 406-425-0182
I made a new field in Property Listings called "listed_jointly" and then listed both names that could be the additional lister (Lyle, Cindy) ... but now i"m getting errors and I know I'm doing something obviously wrong.
I pulled this code from the generator:
Listed Jointly With (values): <?php echo join(', ', $listingsRecord['listed_jointly:values']); ?><br/>
Listed Jointly With (labels): <?php echo join(', ', $listingsRecord['listed_jointly:labels']); ?>Added it in, and got this: (line 105 is the first line listed below)

I've attached both my testing files for listing.php page and listingDetail.php page. Thanks SOOOO much!!! Tina

Thanks for posting!
I have had a look at your setup and I am thinking there might be a different way to do this that ends up being easier.
My idea would be to add a list field to your properties called "Listed By". That would be setup to pull the names from your User Account Section. Basically, you just select the users that you want to be set for the "listed by" field on the page and hit save.
Does that sound like it would work?
Let me know what you think and we go over the code you'll need :).

Love the idea! The only thing I'm concerned with is that there are only two listing agents, but additional users (people who are adding content, but are not real estate agents) so would it be okay just to list the two name then link them up to their user accounts? Not sure if that's just complicating things. I'm sure you probably have a better way around not listing ALL the users.
Under the property listings section editor, I added "Listed By" field. (screenshot)
Thanks!!! Tina

You could do it that way, but it can make it harder to get the rest of their information. The best thing to do is to use their user number of as the value that is stored. Here's another approach you can try.
In the accounts section, created a checkbox field called "is_listing_agent". Check this box for each listing agent (this will give you the ability to create more in the future). Then, in your listings section, you can create your listed_by field to only retrieve accounts where the box is checked. (see attached screen shot)
Hope this helps

So I created the "is_listing_agent" field in User Accounts (see screenshot).
Then went to Property listings and set that up but I get a 403 error (see screenshot).
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!!! Tina

That's an unusual error to get. The one thing I noticed in your screenshot is that you have an advancedFilter set up for createdByUserNum. Try removing this.
If that doesn't work, please send in a [url http://www.interactivetools.com/support]2nd Level Support [/url] Request and we'll take a closer look.

I tried working the code into the listingDetail.php and listings.php page and maybe it's just one of those days but I'm having some issues with it and producing a lot of errors in the code.
Here's the code that displays the individual agent's info on a property page (listingDetail) - but of course, I need it to show both agents if they are both selected in the "listed_by" field.
listingsDetail.php
Listed by:
<a href="<?php echo $listing['homepages._link'] ?>"><?php echo $listing['homepages.fullname'] ?></a>, <?php echo $listing['listing_company'] ?>Call:
<?php echo $listing['homepages.phone'] ?>
<a href="listings.php?createdByUserNum=<?php echo $listing['createdByUserNum'] ?>"><b>Click here to view my other listings</b></a>listings.php
Call Agent:
<a href="<?php echo $listing['homepages._link'] ?>"><?php echo $listing['homepages.fullname'] ?></a> at <?php echo $listing['homepages.phone'] ?>There are two agents - Cindy is user #4 & Lyle is #3 if that makes any difference.
Attached are the php files referenced above.
Thanks again for your help!!!
