Single RSS Feed For Multiple Agents

If you have multiple agents or listing IDs with OpenHomez.com you can now combine their listings into a single RSS feed. As an example, you might have individual agents with their Open Houses listed independently but you would also like to have a consolidated list of Open Houses for your office.

Using the URL template:

http://openhomez.com/rssmyopenhomes.php?ids=x,y,z

you can create a list of OpenHomez.com IDs to be included in the RSS feed. You can still have unique feeds by specifying a single ID after "ids=" but now you can also create a combined list. You can find your OpenHomez.com ID at the top of your Account page in OpenHomez.com

Using this syntax and free tools such as Feed2JS you can create code that can be embedded into you Web site to show a dynamic list of your Open Houses.
