A New Real Estate plugin is coming.

[Vodhin]

I've been developing a Real Estate plugin for e107 for a while now and am getting close to a release. You can visit the Demo Help Sectionon my Demo Site I created to develop the plugin or visit a live version for an Agent for whom I started this project.

Here is some eye-candy:

How good, it looks nice, I'm curious and will test it as soon as you release it, I'm just missing a contact form per object, are you still planning that?

[Vodhin]

I've invited you to the repository. I still have a lot of work to do but it should be OK to load it up on a website that isn't important - I would avoid installing it on a Production site. I've done a bunch of my own Spaghetti Code to allow the Plugin to make changes to Users' Admin Permissions regarding Backend Admin Access: I am fairly confident that the code is stable and should not be a security issue.

I'm just missing a contact form per object, are you still planning that?
Yes. A Contact Form is in place, complete with some basic JavaScript field validation. I have NOT coded the actual send functions yet, but will include integration with e107's email systems along with my own version of PM (which also will handle Saved Properties). This will need to be a little more robust since I want it to work with non-members, probably using a cookie or the browser's Data Storage.

Features for the Space:

And the Front End Listing form (pretty much the same as the back-end but can be used for Private/Member submitted Listings):

NOTE: You can Enable/Disable the Non-Agents Listing Submissions, and if enabled Non-Agent (non-admin) users CANNOT edit Preset Data: they can only Add new Data.

And the Front End Listing form (pretty much the same as the back-end but can be used for Private/Member submitted Listings):

Just curious, did you reuse the form code from the admin area, or you duplicated the code for the front end form?

[Vodhin]

did you reuse the form code from the admin area..?
Hah! It's a mess! This is the first Plugin I have written for e107 V2x. All my other plugins were on v1.7x and earlier. That said, It was a bit of a steep learning curve to start this using the new Admin interface, and it uses a bunch of different, experimental ways to create the user interface. Currently there are 22 separate, un-associated Tables to manage the data, a 9000+ line JavaScript file (obviously not minified) to enhance the interface, and the main admin_config and e_module files jump through hoops to identify the user's access and load what they are allowed to access ( and it doesn't matter if front end or back end areas).

So, yes. The Front End forms are NOT the same coding as the Back End forms, and use different PHP scripts to produce a similar interface. Most of the JavaScript that enhances the Front End forms is copy/pasted to a separate JS file just for that form and produce the same jQuery-based Mini Forms.

There is a ton of Cleanup to simplify the interface, and with any clean up there's a ton of testing to make sure any bugs haven't snuck back in.

I am available to translate the plugin into Italian. Please let me know if you would like my assistance.

[Vodhin]

Translating to Italian would be nice. I will let you know when the language files are ready - I'm hoping they will be done in early June.

[Alex-e107nl]

@Vodhin Thx! i will test it, maybe i can translate it in Dutch!

[Vodhin]

Thank you! I have many new changes that have not uploaded to the repository yet, including a lot of new Language definitions (so hold off on the translation). I'm more interested in what needs to be done to make this more internationally friendly: I am planning to enhance the Country -> State -> County -> City/Town -> Village/Subdivision structure: there is a Field Validation system that may be too strict.
