IDX Link Modifiers

IDX Link Templatehttp://{MLS}.ctimls.com/psearch.asp?cid={MLS}&id={YourAgentCode}&{OptionalModifier} 

To create your personal IDX link, substitute your MLS code, your agent code, and, if desired, any of the following optional modifiers. Do not include the {braces} when you substitute code. All modifiers begin with the "&" symbol. 

Examples. If your MLS Code was SAR, and your Agent Code was CTIMLS, the IDX link using all the default settings

Optional Modifiers:     (You can click on a modifier to see its description below.)

&sponsor = [agent], office
&bgcolor = [AABBDD]
&scope = [all], company, office, mine
&criteria = [yes], no
&back = [no], yes
&formtype = [all], 2011
&area = [all], "4003,4005"
&log = [no], yes
&phone = ###-### Overrides your office phone number
&css = URL
&profile = "Profile name"
&asknumber = [yes], no
&listings = ######,######

Note: Include "quotation marks" when specifying Area or Profile Name. 

Defaults. Entries shown in square brackets [] are the default. If you want the default behavior, do not use the modifier. For example, there is no need to use  "&sponsor=agent"  because agent is already the default sponsor. Likewise, there is no need to enter "&scope = all" because the scope is set to all by default (i.e., unless otherwise specified, such as as &scope = company, &scope = office, or &scope = mine).
