In addition to extending the the listing details post via custom styles in your theme, you can also extend functionality via JavaScript.
listingLoaded Function
Each listing detail post will attempt to inject listing detail information and a list of images for the listing into a global function if your theme enables it.
To take advantage of this create a public function with the following syntax, that will be called when a listing detail post is displayed.
/**
* Function that is called by GetRETS when a listing
* detail post is loaded.
*
* listing - JSON object representing the details
* of the listing
* images - an array of image urls associated
* with this listing
*/
function listingLoaded(listing, images)
{
alert(listing.description);
}
Element Attributes
Each element that is rendered is also rendered with an intuitive id to make it easy to allow for DOM manipulation.
