Hemnet plugin for WordPress

About

This is a test to fetch information from Hemnet and put in a widget on your WordPress blog. Since Hemnet does not have an open API this code will fetch the source code for a search result and make som DOM walking.

Note

This is the old kind of plugin that was used before the Gutenberg blocks. This means it will not work with new themes that doesn't support this. Since Gutenberg blocks are written in JavaScript I do not plan to add support for this.

Setup

Just put the folder hemnet in your plugins folder, your/wordpress/installation/wp-content/plugins/.

Usage

  • Make a search for an address or an area on hemnet.se.
  • When at at the search result page, check the last digits in the URL (should end with something like location_ids%5B%5D=123456 or location_ids[]=123456).
  • Copy those digits into the field for location IDs in the plugin settings.
  • If you want to display results from several searches, repeat the two steps above and enter them with a comma between each number.
  • Select if you want to display sold items or items for sale in the plugin settings.
  • If you want to display results for specific numbers (i.e. you've search for "Kungsgatan" but only want to show Kungsgatan 88 and 90), fill those numbers separated with a comma (88,90).
  • Select if you want to limit the search to a maximum number of results
  • Click save

Dependencies

This code does not bundle the dependencies like some Wordpress plugins might do. To ensure this will run in your Wordpress instance, ensure you have composer installed and run

composer install

Disclaimer

Hemnet and https://www.hemnet.se has nothing to do with this plugin. I have not had any contact with them and made this plugin as a test to see if there was an easy way to display information about apartments for sale in my area.

Development

The style guide is a combination of multiple ones found at this StackOverflow post.

There's currently no bundle way to re-generate the hemnet.pot (and thus it is very old). Although for manual changes the po files can be converted to mo files with msgfmt <languages/hemnet-sv_SE.po -o languages/hemnet-sv_SE.mo.
