It may be that you want to remotely search the Jomres property list, and action that data on another server.

 

This can be done by adding a little information to a search query. Let's use the Jomres demo as an example.

 

I can perform a search on the demo server by putting the following string in the address bar of the browser:

 

http://jomres-demo.net/new_demo/index.php?option=com_jomres&priceranges=All&country=GB&region=All&ptype=All&room_type=All&send=Search&calledByModule=mod_jomsearch_m1&Itemid=2

 

However, if I change the query slightly, I can get the data to be output in xml format.

 

http://jomres-demo.net/new_demo/index.php?option=com_jomres&priceranges=All&country=GB&region=All&ptype=All&room_type=All&send=Search&calledByModule=mod_jomsearch_m1&Itemid=2&dataonly&no_html=1&limit=10

 

There are a couple of new additions to the query :

 

&dataonly&no_html=1&limit=10&menuoff=1

 

"dataonly" which tells the filter minicomponent (this is the one that puts the sort order dropdown at the top of the page) to do nothing, and tells the listproperties minicomponent j01010listpropertys.class.php to output the data in xml format.

 

"no_html" is a basic switch that tells various parts of Jomres to not output things like menu options etc.

 

"limit" can be used to override the default number of properties returned by Jomres for a search. By default the demo is configured to show five results, but adding "limit=10" to the query, I can tell Jomres to return more results.

 

"menuoff" disables the main menu from showing (as of Jomres 6.0.2).

 

"topoff" disables the top template from showing, giving a narrower view.
