The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

I"ve used this component on and off again for some time and found it dependable. The one thing I really don't care for though is the amount of code it throws onto every page of your site whether or not there is a form on there. Sure, its minified but there are all kinds of ajax stuff going on, css files, js files. So I uninstalled and trying out alternatives to see if that is avoidable or is it the price you pay for 'simplicity'.

So overall, good component and especially so if you don't worry about what is going on under the hood.

I didn't think I'd use this much of anything, till I started. Has been a lifesaver. Fabulous. I've been dropping in php script, javascript etc. into content items that otherwise would have been painful and they all just magically work.

God I wish I could write code like this...

I think its great, works well. If I could have anything though, it would be to be able to specify a different size map within the lightbox. If you map in your content is 300px wide and you open it in the lightbox, its still only 300px. So really there is no point in having the lightbox if its only the same size.

If you could have specified a larger size for the lightbox, then there would be an excellent reason to use it, otherwise...why?

Only potential beef I have with this is you can't specify your video dimensions by passing parameters in the content window. Apparently you have to preset one video size and thats it.

Hopefully I missed something but thats what it looks like. You have to really fall in love with one video size for all your content.

Hi,
so far I'm loving these tabs. I'm on a mac and work perfectly fine in safari and firefox. Haven't checked on IE yet or a PC for that matter.

So for now...excellent

In fairness to Mosets, I wanted to add an additional comment or two to my review.

After speaking with the developer, he assures me the program isn't a forgotten app and is being updated for joomla 1.5 and will include a number of new/needed features.

I can say he is very helpful if there are any questions and though it may be lacking some crucial additions, it will still get you through most of the 'standard realtor' requirements.

My suggestions is to investigate it to be sure what it currently does suits your needs, read their forum for hacks etc. and then make your decision.

I've completed my realtor site, its solid, just tougher to do than it should have to be :)

Hello,
I've purchased the program and have implemented it on a site. I found it just 'OK'. Its a bit jumbled, lacks some of the most important abilities. For example:

Search function - you can't have any kind of an advanced search on your real estate front page, just a basic one input box and a dropdown menu of types of real estate ie: single family, multi-family etc. Maybe you can hack one in, not sure what happens if you change your fields etc. in the back end.

Can't display feature properties in columns - hope you like them stretched out across the full length of your page

Updates: forget it, I've read it hasn't been updated in about 2 years to any degree

Notify feature: sadly missing

Save search: sadly missing

There are others but you get the idea. Also take a look at the example sites, the layout hardly varies (absolute pain to do anything really different from the default).

Backend is all right. I've never used the multi realtor function (thankfully) as I have a feeling there would be challenges as well.

All in all: Like I said, its OK, overpriced, left for dead for updating. I think if it came in around 50 bucks, it would be about right, but 120 bucks for a forgotten app, I now wonder.

If I'm wrong about any of the info above, I'd sure like to know.
