i tried dropping it into my loop, but it is kicking back the same image over and over again despite 1. not turning on image_scan mode and 2. there being no images in certain posts. as witnessed here: http://www.theplagueround.com/dev/

i am very much at a loss and would really rather not go forward w/ rolling my own… even if i have this neat plan to crossbreed get_the_image w/ timthumb and easy_peasy.

// create entry in listing class table for OR 2.1

if ($classID != -1 && !$duplicateRemoved ) {
$sql = ‘INSERT INTO ‘ . $TARGET_CONTEXT->class_listing_table . ‘ (class_id,listingsdb_id)’ . ‘ VALUES(‘ . $classID . ‘,’ . $new_listing_id . ‘)’;
$recordSet = $conn->Execute($sql);
if ($recordSet === false) {
$BATCH_RESULT->addError(‘class index ERROR ‘ . $sql);
}
}

We are almost there. It turns out that the first part of the error was I had the listing key in my query. I removed it and things started downloading. However the last part I am still having issues with.

class index ERROR INSERT INTO wp_realty_classlistingsdb (class_id,listingsdb_id) VALUES(,36) .
class index ERROR INSERT INTO wp_realty_classlistingsdb (class_id,listingsdb_id) VALUES(,37) .
class index ERROR INSERT INTO wp_realty_classlistingsdb (class_id,listingsdb_id) VALUES(,38) .
class index ERROR INSERT INTO wp_realty_classlistingsdb (class_id,listingsdb_id) VALUES(,39)…….

I was reading here, http://support.open-realty.org/showthread.php?10174-vieleRets , that it may have something to do with PHP4 vs PHP5.

Interesting thing to note though. When I run a download without images to a Rational DB, I can 500+ listings in a job (That’s as far as I went to test and should be more), but when I have the pictures included because it is OpenRealty, it stops somewhere under 100 at a time. The ‘wp_realty_classlistingsdb’ of course is not getting populated either. Is there a place where I can check to see if the code is correct? maybe in Vielerets in a php file?

I will keep trying different things and report back. I have found recent posts of others having the same issue.

Start with just getting vielerets working.

Create a target with a csv as the output, instead of a wp-realty database import.

Do you successfully download listing data?

If so, then point the target towards wp-realty.

If that’s the point that this whole thing blows up, then you’re probably looking at a couple possibilites,

a. The database doesn’t like the data your trying to import, perhaps related to your MLS/RETS provider?

b. VieleRETS is having difficulty moving data over to the database, perhaps a php/server security/permissions issue?

c. I have heard, nothing official, just grapevine stuff, that hostgator has certain permissions and security measures in place that do not play well with php that requires fopen and other parameters. Have you recreated your server environment locally and successfully performed a download/import?
Thats where i’d start really…is it software, or is it the host environment?

I have all set up. Then when I go to download listings, I get, ” While processing DMQL Query: “(ListingKey=90018724604)|(ListingKey=90081780190)|(ListingKey=90091534922)|(ListingKey=90098276805)|(ListingKey=90099256574)|(ListingKey=90099257242)|(ListingKey=90105926803)|(ListingKey=90122921703)|(ListingKey=90130303577)|(ListingKey=90135785518)|(ListingKey=90136040562)|(ListingKey=90140114556)|(ListingKey=90140735152)|(ListingKey=90143579074)|(ListingKey=90143899944)|(ListingKey=90147945236)|(ListingKey=90148455886)|(ListingKey=90151890682)|(ListingKey=90153211119)|(ListingKey=90157584909)”,
the server returned the message: “V2.6.0 688: No records found”

As a workaround, a single transaction will be used for each transaction in this batch.
.

and it continues for about 2 seconds per record. sometimes it freezes up. Has anyone run into this and what is the corrective action?

Thanks for any help,

I talked to him. I will have to see if the cost of the script+plugin is worth it for a small neighborhood site.

Or if I should just, sadly, i-frame it
for free.
