Q1 2024 Property Import Add on Updates

11th April 2024

If you’re using our Property Import Add on, then this update is for you. At the end of each quarter we like to do a round up of all the changes we’ve made, broken down by CRM. This post relates to changes made during Q1 of 2024.

General

  • Cater for media with .ASP extension in media queue cron
  • Output ‘Only import updated properties‘ setting on main imports table
  • Add ‘propertyhive_property_import_queued_media_imported‘ action to media cron when media has finished importing for a property
  • Always ensure media cron is queued and automatically reschedule it if it’s not
  • Add support for ‘imported_ids‘ and ‘import_id‘ as new property shortcode attributes
  • Add filter ‘propertyhive_property_import_include_deleted_in_filter‘ to exclude deleted imports from admin property filter

Vebra Alto

  • Added support for comma-delimited branch mapping so you can map multiple offices in Alto to one office in Property Hive

Street

  • Use ‘instructed date’ field in date set as the WordPress publish date
  • Use ‘modified date’ field in date set as the WordPress modified date
  • Import brochures sent in the ‘additional media’ section

Loop

  • Update image URLs to pass width as parameter (e.g. ?width=1150) instead of appending them with ‘-big.jpg‘ which will be removed
  • Add ‘letAgreed‘ to default list of lettings statuses
  • Add filter ‘propertyhive_loop_endpoints‘ to add more endpoints (i.e. if wanting to include sold properties and use the separate endpoint)

Reapit Foundations

  • Filters added to API details (client ID and client secret) so it could be used with a private app
  • Just use the property ID as the filename when importing brochures. Previously we would use the strapline field which could be long or invalid as a filename
