Hi,

I am setting up a DNN 6 real estate site. I have an XML-file containing prices, description, loans etc. for the houses and apartments for sale.

My question is: How do i present these data in the easiest way? Can I use some kind of list-module for this?

I would like to present something like this: http://www.realtor.com/realestatean...source=web

Thanks.

If this is amenable to importing to a table (or tables) in the DotNetNuke database, I would do that. Then you have lots of options for reporting, including the Reports and Form & List modules.

You might even want to see if there is a way to incorporate the data that you have and import it into Ventrian's Property Agent module.

Thank you for your reply.

What would be the easiest way to import the data into the DNN db? The Xml-file is updated once a day.

Thanks,
Morten

SQL Server has a "bulk load" feature for importing XML data.

To do this once a day, you'll need some sort of scheduled task to do the work. If you can create a SQL Stored procedure to do the work, you can then create an application that calls the stored procedure. Run the application as a scheduled task on your server.

An alternative would use SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services) to do this.

A third alternative would be to create the scheduled task as a DotNetNuke scheduled task. Once you have the stored procedure, it's a fairly easy process and there are some good blog posts that will show you how to to the scheduled task in DotNetNuke.
