Agents/Offices sometimes use Custom Showcases to create and host their own custom landing pages. These individual Showcase pages cannot be managed directly from your IDX Broker Admin pages, however, they can be managed simply by editing the "src" url of the Custom Showcase widget itself.

For example, let's say that you want a Custom Showcase to feature listings 445555, 445556, 445557. When you pull the showcase widget script from Widgets -> Custom Showcases, it should look something like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.yoursite.com.idxco.com/idx/[Your CID]/customShowcaseJS.php?stp=listingID&name=[CustomShowcaseName]&listingID=445555%2C445556%2C445557%2C&propRows=[# of Rows You Want]&propColumns=[# of Columns You Want]"></script>

You can modify this script to customize the listings and results that appear on your landing page. This may be easier than creating a NEW Custom Showcase widget and then replacing the old script with your new Custom Showcase Widget script.

One way to make this process more scalable is to create an Advanced Search Custom Showcase instead of a Listing ID-based Custom Showcase Widget. Listing IDs frequently enter and exit the market, so Advanced Search-based Custom Showcase Widgets may offer more scalability than adhering to a strict Listing ID-based approach.
