So funny, I follow Hemsley on Twitter. Someone else on Dribbble did an Audi or Infiniti site that was very sharp as well. Fixel does some great work. I think he works for a non-profit now. Talented guy for sure.

Our inventory plugin is custom built. Although, as mentioned above, DealerTrend offers a vehicle inventory plugin for Wordpress over on their CarDealerPress site. Mike Fitzpatrick from DealerTrend is on these forums every so often and I'm sure he would be glad to answer any questions about it.
Okay so this question has been bugging for the past 12 months.. Does your Wordpress site inventory pull from your DMS? Also how does that exactly work.. Are you just sending a file to your server then it deciphers it and posts it to your wordpress site.. So many questions. Also the plug-in, is that pretty much the core of the inventory portion or do you have other coding work done to get it working correctly? (I've been wanting to learn how to make a DMS work with wordpress for a very long time now)..
I've actually know someone right now who's trying to accomplish what you have done right now.. He's using wordpress and I believe he's working with a MYSLQ? Database and tables for the inventory..
Third post, also I'm able to run a wordpress site right now with a custom plug-in to display car inventory, search, and everything else, etc., but I have no idea how to get it to pull from a DMS. For now I'm stuck with posting each car..

Kcar,
There is NO WAY you will ever beable to create an an automobile inventory tool. NONE. The costs to build (time & money) are 100x greater than just working with an inventory vendor that does this for a living (and has all of it's mistakes behind them).
You say you've been trying to solve this for 12 months, here is your LOW COST solution, you can find many mentions is in this forum.
(clue: HomeNet)
Ps I tried and failed in 2002. That's how I found Homenet.

- WordPress = Page One? NOT: 2008 chevrolet impala lt hagerstown md - Google Search
I am jealous. WordPress, HomeNet, whatever. I know just enough to be dangerous.
I admire Joe and can understand his needs are beyond that of a franchise dealer. The biggest problem facing a dedicated eCommerce / Internet Director is burnout. It interests me but when I get back in retail, I know that I will never have the time to really get involved.
