FW Real Estate – Documentation

Add-ons Overview

FW Real Estate uses an addon system to extend the core component with additional features and design templates. Addons are managed directly inside the FW Real Estate admin — no separate Joomla extension manager steps are required.

Bundled Design Addon

The main FW Real Estate package ships with one design template addon. This addon activates automatically after installation and provides the default frontend appearance immediately — no extra configuration steps are needed to get a working frontend layout.

The Add-ons Panel

All other addons are managed through the built-in Add-ons panel. To open it, navigate to FW Real Estate in the Joomla administrator and click the Add-ons icon in the sidebar. The panel lists every available addon along with its current status and a corresponding action button.

• Not installed — an Install button is shown. Click it to install the addon.
• Enabled — a Disable button is shown. Click it to deactivate the addon without removing it.
• Update available — an Update button is shown. Click it to apply the latest version.
• Disabled — a Delete button is shown. Manually disabled addons can be removed from the site entirely using this button.

Site Verification

Before any Install button becomes active, your site must be verified. Look for the lock icon or the website is not verified text in the top-right area of the FW Real Estate admin and click it. A Website Key verification modal opens, containing an input field and two buttons: Get Website Key and Verify Website Key.

1. Click Get Website Key. Your fastw3b.com account opens in a new tab, taking you to the Client Section → Websites page where a modal displays the access code for your site.
2. Copy the access code and close the tab.
3. Return to the FW Real Estate admin, paste the code into the input field, and click Verify Website Key.

Once verified, the Install buttons become active according to your subscriptions.

Installing Addons

After verification, free addons are immediately available to install — their Install button appears at once. Paid addons require an active subscription on fastw3b.com that covers the specific addon. The Install button for a paid addon appears only when a matching active subscription is detected. Without a qualifying subscription, only free addons can be installed. Each active subscription unlocks the paid addons it covers.

Updating Addons

When a newer version of an installed addon is available, its action button changes to Update. Clicking it installs the update immediately. Updates do not affect your property data or site content.
