[Closed] XML Feeds & Toolset

Hi there,

Currently we have properties on our site that use custom fields, these displayed using a dynamic Elementor template.

All works great for us, we manually create listings like you see in the attachments.

We work with a couple of property agencies that supply CSV and XML feeds of their properties.
We would like to add this also.

I can see plugins like WP RSS Aggregator to extract the data, the XML feed I can see has ref's to things like this with components:

<component name="region">Greater London</component><component name="country">United Kingdom</component></address><latitude>51.5263085</latitude><longitude>-0.0776452000000063</longitude><neighborhood>Shoreditch</neighborhood><base_price>401 GBP</base_price><image><url>.....

And a load of image paths which we would need for a gallery.

Now my simple head says somehow I need to tie in these data fields with a template on my site. However....how?

Is it possible with Toolset?

Clearly the custom fields and from we use wont do this however is there a way I can do this?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Pete and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I think that the easiest way is to use the "WP All Import", which supports XML files, with the Toolset addon?
Check this article on how to import posts https://toolset.com/course-lesson/how-to-import-data-from-a-csv-file-using-the-wp-all-import-toolset-types-add-on-plugin/

I assume that your gallery is an image field that accepts multiple instances/values, right?
You will need to use the foreach loops of the plugin, check this article hidden link

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey Jamal,

Thank you very much for your answer. In a Facebook forum someone a while back mentioned WP All Import, I had forgotten this and now have given it a spin.

Works pretty well to be fair.

One thing I can't work out. See pic attached.

We normally adding images via the media gallery, these show up in a dynamic image carousel, just like here:

I'm fully expecting to build a new template for listings using feeds as the info in feeds is limited.
However, how on earth do I get images to actually load to a specific listing in a gallery?

Many thanks in advance.

Hello Pete,

I am not sure to understand your last question. Is it about importing the images to a Toolset custom field, or about displaying them on the frontend?

Were you able to load the images with WP All Import?

Do you have a custom field for the images?
