Rent Fetch

Rent Fetch for apartments is a powerful plugin solution for displaying current floor plan pricing & availability for your apartment and rental properties. Pro Automatically display updated pricing, availability, and property info for your single apartment or multi-property / corporate site with our premium Rent Fetch Sync add-on that integrates with popular property management leasing softwares. Rent Fetch Sync works with Yardi/RentCafe (Entrata, Appfolio and RealPage support coming soon!). Looking to integrate with a different property management system? Contact us to discuss! For Apartment Sites: Display Floor Plan & Unit Availability Showcase your floor plan data – including featured photos and 3D floor plans, beds, baths, sq ft, unit availability, 3D video tour links, and pricing. Plus let users filter and search. Units listing: Our individual floor plan template goes all the way down to the unit level, including unique availability links on a per-unit basis. For Corporate Sites: Property Availability Map View multiple properties with available floor plans on a Google map, and let users filter by property name, beds, baths, price, and more. Text-based search is also available, and we integrate with Relevanssi, so your users can search for anything at all (the city or zip code works fine). Single Property Template: Showcase your property – and all associated floorplans – with a unique URL for each property. Each one has a floorplan listing including availability, image gallery, location map, and more!

Start from your WordPress dashboard.

1. Visit Plugins > Add New
2. Search for "Rent Fetch"
3. Install and Activate Rent Fetch from your Plugins page
4. Once activated, you'll want to add at least one property to the site (be sure to include a unique property ID when you do).
5. Add floorplans to your property, using that same unique property ID for any connected floorplans.
6. Add more properties and floorplans as necessary. (Most websites doing manual entry won't benefit from adding units).
7. Add a shortcode to display what you'd like to display (there's a one-click copy list of available shortcodes on one of the plugin settings pages).

0.17.2

• Bugfix: adding new functionality to allow for better phone number parsing for the property phone numbers, allowing for separate parsing for the phone number link.
• Adding a button on the single-properties template for the tour (this previously didn't actually show up anywhere, it turns out).
• Adding a button on the properties search template to do the same
• Standardizing the "Edit this" buttons when logged in between the floorplans grid, properties grid, and properties simple grid, to show all of these on hover, all centered at the top.
• Reworking the script to load properties buttons to allow it to work with more AJAX requests (like on the properties search), and adding an enqueue on the properties search level outside the AJAX request, since it wasn't loading otherwise.

0.17.1

• Bugfix: the custom content area was not outputting by default on the single-properties template; this is fixed.

0.17

• Adding capability to disable fields on the backend of the site that are synced for Yardi (both floorplans and properties)
• Adding capability to disable fields on the backend of the site that are synced for Realpage (both floorplans and properties)
• Adding capabilities to highlight synced fields in the columns views for both properties and floorplans
• Adding filters to control which fields those are for both (this only has the capability of disabling fields; it doesn't (yet) disable the actual sync for those).
• Removing a few options that are unused on the backend
• Bugfixes: fixing some potential manual-entry errors when adding images on both floorplans and properties
• Bugfix: changing how we calculate the number of units when looking at a floorplan on the single-properties page (helps with manual entry)
• Bugfix: only show the nearby properties slider if there are at least two properties to show (layout is awkward with just one)
• Removing the pets meta field on properties, as only the Yardi API contains that and it does it on a one-off basis, so we can't predict how the structure of that works.
• Code standard fixes

0.16.1

• Bugfix: added an event on save of the sync settings to cancel all pending actions. This should avoid a rare situation where user-added data might be deleted from a property if the property was added while that same property was scheduled for deletion (orphan control)

0.16

• Feature: adding a maximum length for floorplan-level custom specials
• Feature: adding the floorplan specials to the single-floorplans template an styling those to match other views

• Bugfix: fixing a php error caused by either dated information or a blank string in the unit amenities in some views.

• Fixing a bug with the [rentfetch_properties] shortcode that was resetting the posts_per_page to -1 in all cases.

0.14.2
