We currently have a client on the old real estate listings software v1.27.

Couple of questions:

1) Is there an upgrade path to the latest CMS builder

2) Would we need to also get the Realty add-on in the latest CMS builder or would our current database carry over?

3) What, other than the template pages, does the realty add-on for the current CMS builder give you?

4) What is the upgrade process, if it's possible?

Thanks!

Ross,

Thanks for the reply.

Couple followup questions:

1) What would be the actual cost of obtaining CMS builder? Is it the full retail price?

2) I'm a web developer, so I know MySQL and PHP, is it possible for me to be able to import the data and fields myself?

3) As #2 says, I am comfortable converting the templates

4) Is the upgrade procedure where the new CMS builder is installed first and then old data and fields are migrated over? Then all templates need to be updated to point to the new database?

Thanks again!

In response to this question:

>1) What would be the actual cost of obtaining CMS builder? Is it the full retail price?

If you paste your old Listings Manager product-id in the comments fields you can use the promo code UPGRADECMS to get 75% off the regular price.

Hope that helps!

We have some scripts we can send you that import the data over. We're still refining of the process though. If you want to give it a shot yourself just email ross@interactivetools.com and ask him for a copy of the Listings Manager to CMSB import scripts.

That will bring the data over, then the next step is setting up the display pages.

Hope that helps!
