Format Specs for CL Post #94

Open danasilver opened 11 years ago

danasilver commented 11 years ago

Need some template (html) to which we can pass the description and listing specs so they can be formatted for the CL post.

@danasilver @berserkia any idea of the status of this?

berserkia commented 10 years ago

ya I’m on that, I just wanted to do a few formatting things on the listing that goes to CL (just format the specs a bit and add a plug for Rocket via a link to the original listing and a link to the user’s profile).

Craigslist now forbids a, img, font, table, div, span, center in for sale and housing. So that leaves us with ul/ol's?

haha yep. Although it’s annoying for us, they’ve basically shattered thousands of business’s auto-posting method, so there is a big opportunity for us.

The most annoying one to me is the tag, since we can’t link out, but we can still add the url and just let people copy pasta.

I think it might also be cool to do some crazy ASCII styling in the listing itself, but we can get there later.

Another cool linking out idea, use one of those short urls you have as an in-house url shortener. i.e. fixcl.com/nd4Dse instead of rocketlistings.com/listings/6

berserkia commented 10 years ago

ya true. the fixcl.com url is kind of click-bait anyway, so that could be a good place to add it...
