Realty Manager 2.27 Released

Can't Post

Hi Folks,
We've released version 2.27 of Realty Manager with two new features. 1) $listing_num$ placeholder is now available to the _publish_listings.html template (formerly it was just available to the _publish_listing_index.html template) and 2) a new hfield/lfield type called checkboxes.
Here's an example of using a checkboxes lfield to list the days when an open house is occurring: - Goto the Listing Database Fields page (Setup Options, Setup Listings Fields button)
- In an empty fieldname, enter Open House Days(Mon, Tues, Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat, Sun), choose checkboxes field type and make it an active field
- In your _publish_listing.html template, find an appropriate spot to add something like "OPEN HOUSE (9 am to 2 pm) $lfield##$" (where ## is your field num)
- Goto the Listing Editor and check a few days, and save.
Couple of things to note:
a) the output of a checkboxes h/lfield is a list of values checked, separated by a comma and a space, in the same order as you have listed them.
b) unlike dropdown fieldtypes, you do not want a comma as the first entry. This would give you a checkbox with no value.
c) when modifying templates to display checkboxes h/lfields, keep in mind that users can check none, one, some or all of the checkboxes. You may not want a "blank" area when none are checked, and the output can get long if you have a lot of checkboxes and a user checks them all.
