I'm looking at building a website which shows local properties (UK Towns), the main aspect is getting an idea on how to automatically populate the website via the independent estate agents websites.
I.E how does Rightmove automatically populate its listings?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Rightmove doesn't 'automatically' populate its listings. Agents upload their properties to Rightmove in one of two ways:
1) Directly - using the agent website, RMPlus
2) Using the Rightmove ADF
The ADF uses feeds provided by - surprise surprise - feed providers!! The biggest feed that Rightmove handle is from Vebra. I think the files are in .blm format.
Disclaimer: I used to work for Rightmove in a technical capacity. I left in 2012 so things may have changed, but I doubt it.

I had searched by google and this forum-search and I didnt get any about this so I propose a new topic: WordPress with the ability to fight with Ad-Blocker.
I am not an IT guy (subsea engineer) but I am having website with about 100 - 200 unique visitor/day now (according to adsense) as hobby (1%-4% using ad-blocker - I am lucky to have these ~97% my visitors).
I just learn that ad-block users are about 300 mil and it is a huge problem to big publisher (they earn money from ads). Ad-blocker using bandwith, upload data to their server and some (one of them - I expect more of them) sell the data as anons.
In accordance to the above idea,
I have a question as a-non IT guys, is there a way to make WordPress to tackle ad-blocker (auto)?
It may be a way to disarm ad-blocker. My website is like my home/house. You/Visitors can visit but please consider the owner.
No from what I can tell, it keeps a list of servers which are used to serve advertisements. Whenever you visit any website, the web browser has to fetch the components from the various servers. Adblock simply blocks the connections to any item on its list of ad servers, thus blocking all or most ads. The list of servers has to be updated ever so often which it does in the backend.

Am a member of IT team. Each group of people in my company have their own webpage. somebody is using google sites. 2 websites were not found from this morning. I need to find out one website hosting location. Website URL is something like https://www.mycompanywebsite/groupweb. I checked all the codes in company website (It's developed using PHP MySql), but these 2 groups names or files not found in the codes. Any guess or comments from anybody??
Do a whois lookup. I usually just go to http://who.is and do a search on the URL. The whois lookup will give you a list of information about that domain. Often looking at the nameservers will help. You might need to search the name servers on google (or other search engine) to find out who owns them.

I am creating a football transfer site and i want to know how to extract particular pieces of data from a site and insert it into mine. For example, this site : http://www.footballtransferleague.co.uk/football_rumours.aspx , shows you transfer rumours and I want to insert them into my site however they update every 24 hours so I want the new data to appear on my site aswell.
Im not asking for any code, just some tips or videos that can be used to learn about this.
Before anyone says this is illegal, football rumours are considered as 'facts' hence available to reuse.
thanks in advance !
Try with this tool. It downloads the pages with the code that is only translated like html, js and sometimes php. i don't know if it works with .asp .aspx.

I have a POS software developed in PHP and running as a web application.
I need to have dual monitors, one facing the employee with full details (sales screens showing heaps of options) and another monitor facing the customer with summarized information (ex. item, price list only)
How can that be achieved?
Many thanks
Because your dealing with the web, event driven development is not going to be possible. So to get around this, you will need to have two browser instances (1 per monitor) where the waitress side will need to do an ajax push on each update and the customer end will need to do some kind of ajax polling based on a timer. There is a lot of information all over the internet about how to accomplish this sort of thing. Take a look at Push notification to the client browser for some more discussion on the topic. There are some less supported methods you maybe able to leverage like realtime push notifications or multipart/x-mixed-replace MIME type or Comet or HTML5 Websockets.

Is it Possible to scrape content from a membership site so that i can create an Rss feed for import into my inbox?
You see, I'm a member of several sites that provide casting calls for the performing arts industry (some paid, some free), but most of them don't provide Rss feeds of the newest casting call updates with means that I have to irritatingly log into 7 different sites each day to see what the latest casting calls are. Is there a way using a script/program to create an Rss feed from these pages content so that I can import it into my gmail inbox?
I'm sure its achievable using php, but I have no idea how to log myself in automatically.
I have contacted the site owners about setting up an RSS feed but it's been months of emails and i haven't gotten a response.
It can be done using CURL. If the sites dont change often, the system would be fairly reliable and do what you need it to do.
