Additional Taxonomies in Alto

Hi Rory,

Happy to help. Re the ‘Tenancy Type’ field we don’t have a field for this by default. Looking at the vebra schema it looks like the field we might need from their API is ‘rm_let_type_id’ which contains an ID.

What I would recommend is:

1) Create a custom field to store this:

https://docs.wp-property-hive.com/add-ons/template-assistant/custom-fields/

I suspect you might create a field of type ‘select’ with the values: Student and Non-Student

2) Once you have the custom field in place you can use a snippet like so to import the data from Vebra accordingly into this custom field:

Regarding videos by default we’ll import virtual tours and display them as their own button, not as part of the gallery. If you did want them as part of the gallery you’d need to modify the single-property/property-images.php template accordingly.

More about overriding templates here:

https://docs.wp-property-hive.com/developer-guide/overriding-templates/

… and here’s a snippet showing how to get virtual tours:

Hope that’s enough to go on but do let me know if an further assistance required.

Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,

Amazing, thank you for your help.

To clarify, is this the correct setup for the Let Type custom field?

Looks good from here. If this field doesn’t get set after running another import do let me know and I’ll see if I can assist further,

Thanks,

Hi Steve,

It doesn’t seem to be importing them through, based on what I’ve seen in the clients Alto I’d expect all ‘To Let’ properties to have a value of either ‘Student’ or ‘Non-Student’.

Kind regards,
Rory

Hi Rory,

Thanks for access. My apologies but I’d used the wrong hook name in the snippet. Have corrected it, ran an import and can see this being set now.

Let me know if I can assist further,

Steve
