The following screen shot shows the back end (admin section) of the "Real Estate" module and illustrates the parameters which have been setup for this demo module:

 

• The Auto Approve Listing option has been selected which means that all listings defined by the users will immediately become visible in the front end
• The SlideShow main image dimensions have been set to width 300 and height 250; note that you can change the dimensions according to those of your image, so it would be displayed properly in the front end
• The module also gives you the opportunity to define the dimensions of the main image as well as thumbnail images within the gallery according to your preferences
• The Gallery View/Slide Show While Adding Listings option has been enabled
• The Default Search option has been set to Advance Search so that users can use more elaborate criteria when searching for the properties; note that you can setup a default search city so that the module would automatically display the available listings within a defined city (e.g. San Diego)
• Listing Heading option is used for defining the heading above the list of properties

This second screen shot of the back end demonstrates the parameter for defining the number of search resultsper page as well as messages displayed to the user after the listing has been saved (After Save) or updated (After Update).

 

The third screen shot demonstrates the section of the back end which is used for defining the property types. The defined property types will be available to the user adding a listing so he could choose one that matches his property (e.g. House). You can use the Add New Property Type option to add a new property type or the Edit and Delete options to manage the existing ones.

 

The fourth screen shot demonstrates the section of the back end used for managing the property template. You can use any of the available fields (e.g. [CITY] and choose the desired location within the table for displaying the property description. This way you can add new or edit and delete the existing fields which define a property.
