Using Links in the Email Message

In the default email response message, a summary of the hotlisted properties is generated. If you want to integrate a clickable link to the property details page on your website, this can be done once you are updating your web pages frequently.

Hotlisted properties can be linked to a) the search pages on your website or b) the pages in your top level category.

The code that generates the link should be placed somewhere between $JadePropertiesBegin$ and $JadePropertiesEnd$.

a) Linking to Search pages on your website

Method 1:

Link directly to the web search details page (you must be using Jade's web search on your website).

The code to generate the link would be like this in your email response template:

http://www.yourwebsite.com/yourlistings/search_property$JadeProperty field=PropertyID$.html

(Replace "yourwebsite.com" with your website address and "yourlistingsfolder" with the name of the folder on your website containing the web pages generated by Jade)

Method 2:

Link to the web search engine (you must be using Jade's web search on your website).

The code to generate the link would be like this in your email response template:

http://www.yourwebsite.com/yourlistings/search.php?id=$JadeProperty field=PropertyID$&btn_search=Search

(Replace "yourwebsite.com" with your website address and "yourlistings" with the name of the folder on your website containing the web pages generated by Jade. If you have renamed the search.php file to something else, make sure that this is also replaced.)

b) Linking to pages in the top level category on your website

The top level category needs to include a filter for all listings (as in the default web categories). The code to generate the link would be like this in your email response template:

http://www.yourwebsite.com/yourlistings/listings_property$JadeProperty field=PropertyID$.html

(Replace "yourwebsite.com" with your website address, "yourlistings" with the name of the folder on your website containing the web pages generated by Jade and "listings" with the filename of your top level web category).

Linking to other files or pages on the Web

Links can be generated to other files on your website or any location on the Web - so long as the name of the file is based on the PropertyID.

Example - Linking to virtual tours hosted by someone else:

In this example, we want each property to have a link to a virtual tour. The virtual tours are on someone else's website in a folder called "tours". The extension for the virtual tour is ".html". Each tour is named after the PropertyID (e.g. 146.html). The code to generate the link would look like this:

http://www.somewebsite.com/tours/$JadeProperty field=PropertyID$.html
