Hi Evrybody  !
I have idea and a question. I would like to add a icon/ image which will show up next to the new listings. For example if the listings will be entered today there will be a new icon next to it. Also on index page I would like place “Today we have 3256 listings available in database” so if somebody will be able to help me out with this I will appreciate.

Highlighting of new listings is supported in Realty Manager's search function, but not in the static (published) pages. However, you can use a server-side include (SSI) to do a search and get back listings with [new] highlights. For example, if you do
http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/rm/search.cgi?search=1&shownew=7&marknew=2
you'll get the listings that are new in the last 7 days, with the listings in the last 2 days highlighted.
You can incororate the above as you main page, or as a frame, or even as a "See Our Newest Listings" link. Take a look at this thread for some ideas:
http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/forum.cgi?post=448
As for a count of the listings, there is no placeholder for that. However, you can use the a combination of server side includes and a simple Perl script to get the results.
#!/usr/bin/perl
$count=0;
open(F,"<../data/listing.dat.cgi");
while (<F>) { $count++; }
close(F);
$count -= 3;
print $count;
Save the above as count_listings.cgi in your rm/exec/ directory. Then add the following in your template
<p>We have <!--#include virtual="/rm/exec/count_listings.cgi" --> Listings!
Note: Depending on how your web hosting configuration, you may have to use a .shtml extension on your filenames to use server side includes.
